G.A.S. v. Superior Court
Petitioner, Jordanian-born G.A.S. (mother) and G.Y.S. (father) married in 1988 and have three children son L. (now 18), daughter S. (now 17) and son B. (now seven). The children have dual Jordanian and American citizenship. Mother and father separated on May 28, 2007, after police arrested father for domestic violence. On May 29 the court granted mother a temporary restraining order, and set the matter for hearing on June 18. On May 29 the mother also filed for dissolution.
Let a peremptory writ of mandate issue directing the superior court to vacate its order of July 11, 2007, permitting S. to travel to Jordan and directing mother to relinquish S.'s passport, and conduct further proceedings. The stay issued on July 12, 2007 is vacated. Mother is entitled to costs in the writ proceeding. This opinion is made final immediately as to this court. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.264(b)(3).)
