DATE: 04/03/25 TIME: 9:00 A.M. DEPT: L CASE NO: FL0000103
PRESIDING: HON. MARK A. TALAMANTES
REPORTER: CLERK: JENN CHARIFA
PETITIONER: KATHERINE BRUHN
and
RESPONDENT: NICOLAS DUFFORT
NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS: REQUEST FOR ORDER - CHILD CUSTODY/VISITATION
RULING
Petitioner Katherine Bruhn (Mother) filed for temporary emergency orders on February 7,
2025, seeking custody and visitation orders. The court entered orders on March 5, 2025, setting
a hearing for the following week. The matter was continued to April 3 by request of the parties.
Respondent Nicolas Bruhn (Father) filed a responsive declaration on February 27. Mother
filed a reply declaration on March 3.
Together, these parents have one child. Lilou is 3 years old. She was born on April 3, 2022.
Happy Birthday Lilou!
Both parents were referred to Marin Family Court Services (FCS) for mediation and
counseling on the issues raised by Mother. [Marin is a recommending county. (Family Code
$3183; Marin County Rules, Family 7.17.A.)]. Both parents were interviewed on March 5,
2025. Mother filed a statement of disagreement to the FCS report on March 26. Father filed a
statement of disagreement on March 27.
Mother lives in Bloomington, Illinois and Father lives in Sausalito. Mother is an assistant
professor at Illinois State University and Father is a project manager for an environmental
consulting company.
The current schedule provides that Lilou is with both parents on an alternating 3-week schedule
beginning 2-15-25 as well as one-hour Facetime each day with the non-custodial parent.
Mother does not agree with Fathers hope to enroll the child in Lycess Francais private French
school at a cost of $35,000.00 per year. She also raises concerns about flights for the child,
shuttling back and forth from Illinois. Father hopes to continue with the current 3 week on off
schedule until the school term begins.
FL0000103
CUSTODY AND VISITATION
The parents were able to reach agreements with the assistance of FCS on the following issues,
which the court finds good cause to approve:
1. Facetime: When Lilou is in Nicks care in California, Katherine shall have Facetime
calls with Lilou daily between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. {
(California time). When Lilou is in Katherines care in Illinois, Nick shall have Facetime
calls with Lilou between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. (California time).
2. The parent shall use Our Family Wizard (or another agreed upon parenting app) to
communicate.
The court has reviewed the statements submitted by the parents. The court has also reviewed the
moving and responsive papers associated with the Request For Order. This is a complicated case
that involves parents who should work better together in the best interest of the child. The
parents are welcome to meet during the hearing to finalize the timeshare schedule with the
assistance of either the court or the Family Law Facilitator. For now, the court finds it is in the
best interest of the child to adopt the FCS recommendations as follows:
Parental Responsibilities
1. The parents shall share joint legal custody of Lilou. The parents shall share in the
responsibility and confer in good faith on matters concerning the childs health, education
and welfare. Both parents shall have access to the childs school, medical, mental health,
and dental records and the right to consult with professionals who are providing services
to the child.
2. The parents shall share joint physical custody of Lilou.
Timeshare Schedule
3. Ifboth parents live within 50 miles of one another, then Lilou shall live with both parents
on an agreed upon 50/50 schedule.
4. If Mother continues to live in Illinois and Father continues to live in California, then:
e Until 5-12-25: the currently ordered 3-week rotating schedule shall remain in
place.
e Summer of 2025: Lilou shall be with both parents (in both California and
Illinois) on an agreed upon 50/50 schedule in increments of no less than 2 weeks
but no more than 3 weeks.
e 2025-2026 school year: Lilou shall be primarily in Illinois with Mother and shall
be with Father for one week every month in California and one week every month
in Illinois, on an agreed upon schedule.
