L.D. v. V.A. CA2/5
Appellant L.D. (Father) appeals from a domestic violence restraining order, a child custody order, a visitation order, and the court’s failure to act on a peremptory challenge to a judicial officer. Respondent V.A. (Mother) sought a domestic violence restraining order against Father pursuant to the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (Fam. Code , § 6200 et seq.) (DVPA). Mother prevailed at trial and obtained a domestic violence restraining order against Father for one year. Father’s biological children were placed in Mother’s sole legal and physical custody. Father was also temporarily denied visitation rights. Following the trial and issuance of the order, Father filed a peremptory challenge to the bench officer, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6.
Father contends the trial court erred in granting the restraining order, child custody order, and visitation order. Father further appeals the trial court’s failure to act on his peremptory challenge.
