In re Christopher Q. CA5
At the time this family came to the attention of the agency in March 2020, Christopher was 11 years old, and Juan was three years old. Father and mother were no longer a couple and had a highly contentious relationship. At the outset of the proceedings, father had full legal and physical custody of Christopher, and the parents had “50/50” custody of Juan. The parents had restraining orders against one another and would exchange Juan at the police station. Father had made multiple police reports against mother dating back to 2019, with father alleging mother followed him when he had the children in the vehicle on a few occasions and that her boyfriend had threatened him with a firearm. The most recent of these reports was on March 1, 2020 – father made a report that mother and her boyfriend were following him in a vehicle, and at one point, mother’s boyfriend pointed a firearm at him and yelled “ ‘I’ll kill you.’ ”
