D.M. v. D.D. CA4/3
In 2008, father filed a petition for a voluntary declaration of paternity (Fam. Code, § 7574), joint legal custody, and visitation. Minor was then about three years old. Four years later, in October 2012, the court entered a judgment of paternity, ordered mother and father to share joint legal custody, and awarded father primary physical custody of minor.
During those four years, mother and father proved unable to informally resolve their differences time and again. In 2009, the court appointed a co-parenting therapist to help, but nothing changed.
