Case Results

SR v. DS

Petitioner SR filed a Request for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order in Rancho Cucamonga Superior Court against Respondent DS. Respondent DS hired Rancho Cucamonga attorneys at Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP to defend against the restraining order. The Temporary Restraining Order was issued; however, after highly contested litigation, the temporary restraining order was dissolved and no permanent restraining orders were entered.

CR v. RR

Petitioner CR filed a post judgment Order to Show Cause for a modification of child custody, child support, and attorney's fee. Respondent RR hired our Rancho Cucamonga attorneys at Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP to respond to the Order to Show Cause. Both the Petitioner and the Respondent were full time county employees with virtually the same monthly income. However, the Petitioner claimed that the Respondent had additional income from the operation of the Respondent's business. The Petitioner claimed that the Respondent's business income was $10,000.00 per month, which justified an increase in the child support and an order for a recovery of Petitioner's attorney's fees. The respondent claimed that after paying all of the business expenses, the net income was $500.00 a month. After a bench trial, the Court ordered an increase of child support by $2,000.00 and an order of approximately $25,000.00 in attorney's fee payable to the Petitioner by the Respondent.

Our Rancho Cucamonga office believed that the Court failed to take into account the legitimate business expenses of the Respondent and that the increase in child support by $2,000.00 and approximately $25,000.00 in attorney's fee was an abuse of discretion. Therefore, the divorce attorneys filed an appeal to the California Court of Appeals. After 15 months of waiting, the Court of Appeal reversed the child support order and the award of attorney's fee.

EC v. RS

Petitioner EC had full custody of her daughter. Respondent RS had visitation on alternating weekends. After much discussion between the Petitioner and the Respondent, Petitioner believed that the Respondent gave verbal consent to have the Petitioner move to another state with their daughter. The Respondent claimed that verbal consent was never given. After the Petitioner moved to another state, the Respondent filed an Order to Show Cause RE: returning the child to the State of California. California had jurisdiction of the child. Petitioner hired the divorce attorneys at Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP in Rancho Cucamonga and asked the office to defend the return of the child. After a heated hearing, the Court ruled that the Petitioner had the right to move to another state with child after assessing that the best interest of the child was to remain with the Petitioner. The Petitioner was allowed to move with the child outside the State of California.

WM v. RM

Petitioner WM filed an Order To Show Cause RE: why a contempt of court should not be issued against the Respondent RM for removing the child from the jurisdiction without Court permission. Since Contempt is criminal in nature, if the Petitioner was successful in proving that the Respondent was in contempt of court, the Court could issue a jail sentence against the Respondent for each count of contempt. As a result, the Court appointed the divorce attorneys at Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP in Rancho Cucamonga to represent the Respondent against the Contempt allegations. After the arraignment, attorney M. Stephen Cho was able to get the contempt petition dismissed after showing numerous defects in the contempt declaration.

GB v. EB

Husband GB earned approximately $75,000.00 a year as a professional and Wife EB was a homemaker who worked part time during the marriage. Wife EB hired the divorce attorneys at Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP in Rancho Cucamonga. After the initial Order to Show Cause hearing, the Court ordered child custody, child support, spousal support and other temporary orders. After additional negotiations, the only remaining issues were the length of spousal support, attorney's fee and whether or not Husband GB can impute a higher income against the wife. After the trial, the Court ruled the following:

that the marriage was a long term marriage and the support to terminated only by death, re-marriage or by further order of the court;
attorney's fee awarded to the attorney's at Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP in Rancho Cucamonga.
Husband GB could not impute a higher income after the Court analyzed the spousal support factors outlined in Family Law Code §4320.
