16
After discovering that Respondent was pregnant, Petitioner encouraged Respondent to have an
17
22 one-room flat in Korea. Petitioner attended school full time and worked sporadic translation jobs.
23
Respondent was forced to work full-time at a car-manufacturing plant to pay the bills. Respondent
24 '
was forced to take this .graveyard shift after Petitioner refused to care for the minor child in question
25
26 during the day.' Respondent would work all night, come home and then care for the child while
30
child to come to the United States. Since their arrival, Respondent and the minor child have been
2
boarded in Petitioner's parents' garage in a dilapidated camper. Petitioner's parents were openly
2
hostile to Respondent and the minor child, disparaging Respondent and the minor child in front of
3
them. Petitioner had his own room in the house but Respondent and the minor child were locked in
4
5 the garage, and .forced to ask permission to enter the home to use the restroom and obtain potable
6
drinking water.
7
Respondent was forced by Petitioner and his parents to obtain two (2) jobs to pay for her
8
9 accommodations in the Lugaresi garage. On each pay day, Respondent was forced by Petitioner's
10 parents to sign documents which would give all of her earnings to Petitioner's parents. This was done
11
ostensibly to repay Petitioners' parents for their hospitality. At the same time, Petitioner worked a
12 '
14 Petitioner did not enroll the child in school in the United States even though four (4) months of
15
the school year were still remaining when they arrived.
16
During h•s time in Korea and in the United States, Respondent has disapproved of Petitioner's
17
18 obsession with video-games, particularly violent video games. Respondent has also disapproved of her
19
son playing video games any more than an hour a week and has a zero-tolerance for violent video
20
games. Respondent further disapproves because Petitioner has used video-games as a babysitter for the
21
22 minor child in lieu of interacting with the child. Respondent also disapproves of video-game usage due
23
to the fact that on several occasions, Petitioner has neglected the minor child while playing video
24
games to the exte: nt that Respondent has found the minor child to have sat in his own feces for hours,
25
26 unattended by Petitioner. Petitioner could not be bothered to supervise the child's toilet usage and
3
'·
arrested. He also filed a C LET S restraining order against Respondent, however, that was apparently
2
denied. The criminal case was dropped at the first hearing. Respondent has no prior criminal record or
3
history of violence. Of particular note is the fact that Petitioner filed this restraining order with no
4
5 mmor.
6
Petitioner re fused to bail Respondent out of jail after her arrest. She was released after the
Latter- Day Saint Chaplain assigned to minister to inmates for Santa Clara County heard her story. An
7
9 attempt after her release was made to reconcile with Petitioner. Petitioner re fused Respondent entry
'
10 into his parents'' garage. Having nowhere else to go, Respondent and the minor child moved in with
11
the L D S Chaplain and his wife. She cares for the chaplain's wi fe who has Multiple Sclerosis, is
12
13
steadily employed, has medical benefits for her and the minor child, and has placed the minor child in
14 school.
15
No real property or signi ficant assets are at issue in the case, leaving the unresolved issues for
16
trial (1) whether the Petitioner has a Family Code Section 761 l(d) claim of parentage for the minor
17
18 child in question ', or in the alternative, a step-parent right to visitation pursuant to Family Code Section
19
3101 (2) Petitioner's request for spousal support, and (3) Petitioner request for attorney's fees.
20
This case has a long, troubling history. During marriage, there Petitioner has forced
21
22 Respondent to work multiple jobs on top of being the primary caregiver for the minor child. Despite
23
his years of higher education, Petitioner has had little if no meaning ful employment. In spite of the few
24
obligations Petitioner had as a part time student, he re fused to care for the child. Petitioner and his
25
26 family view Respondent and the minor child as in ferior inconveniences. Respondent was forced into a
27 modem-day forrh of indentured servitude upon her entrance to the United States, and is now being
28
abandoned by her immigration sponsors and not only left to her own devices but is being sued for
29
spousal support and sole custody of her biological child.

.. •)
There is also a history of domestic violence against Respondent. In both Korea and the United
2
States, Petitioner has struck Respondent in front of the minor child. Petitioner has also verbally abused
3
Respondent in front of the minor child in Korea and the United States.
4
5 A short-cause hearing was held on December 5, 2012 on this issue to determine whether a
6
prima fascie case for 7611 presumed fatherhood could be established. The issues of parental rights,
7
support and attorneys fees were set for long cause hearing.
8
9 STATEMENT OF ISSUES
10 I. Should Petitioner be awarded full parental rights, step-parent rights or no parental rights?
11
II. Should Petitioner be entitled to spousal and child support if he is given any custody or
12
13
visitation rights?
14 III. Should Petitioner be awarded attorneys fees for litigating the issue of parentage?
15
LAW AND ARGUMENT
16
I. Family Code 7611(d) Parentage and Visitation
17
21 The California Courts have held: "(A] presumption under [Family Code] Section 7611 is
i
22
rebuttable presumption affecting the burden of proof and may be rebutted in an appropriate action onl
23
by convincing e�idence." Librers v. Black_(2005) 129 Cal.App.41h 114, 122 [emphasis added].
24
25 "(A]nyone who meets the conditions of Family Code Section 7611 has created for
himself; a rebuttable presumption whereby the mother of the child may use facts to
26 rebut that presumption by a showing of clear and convincing evidence." Id This is the
27 procedural posture of the instant action; Petitioner at the last short-cause hearing
showed' that a prima fascie case of 7611 presumed parenthood had been established.
28 Thus the burden has shifted to Respondent by the convincing evidence standard that
29
Petitioner is not the presumed father and it is not in the best interest of the child for him
to have :visitation with Petitioner."
30
5
,1_ •·
"In determining whether a man has 'received a child into his home and openly held out
the child' as his own, courts have looked to such factors as whether the man actively
2
helped :the mother in prenatal care; whether he paid pregnancy and birth expenses
3 commensurate with his ability to do so; whether he promptly took l_ egal action to .
obtain custody of the child; whether he sought to have his name placed on the birth
4
certificate; whether and how long he cared for the child; whether there is unequivocal
5 evidence that he had acknowledged the child; the number of people to whom he had
acknowledged the child; whether he provided for the child after it no longer resided
6
with him; whether, if the child needed public benefits, he had pursued completion of
7 the requisite paperwork; and whether his care was merely incidental." (Emphasis
Added)
8
10 Petitioner has provided no evidence that he ever held the child out to be his own to the community.
11
Respondent can· show that Petitioner never intended to adopt the minor child, never emotionally,
12 '
13
fn
i ancially or mentally cared for the child. Respondent has provided documented evidence of the
14 Petitioner never t, aking the time to change the child's name to his own, never declaring himself a step-
15
parent or any other type of parent of the child, nor, and declaring on Federal Documents that he is not
16
the true parent or step parent of the minor child. Petitioner's only evidence is his own .testimony that
17
22 " Charisma was present during Amalia's birth and cut the umbilical cord; she gave
Amalia a hyphenated last name including her name on Amalia's birth certificate; she
23
brought Amalia into her and Kristina's shared home; she held herself out as Amalia's
24 mother·in a birth announcement, a baby shower, a gift registry, an online message
board for women trying to conceive, and communications with various people,
25 including the nurse at a "well baby" visit, a visiting former co-worker, and strangers in
26 the street; she shared in the care of Amalia until Kristina went back to work; and she
cared for Amalia after Kristina returned to work until Kristina moved out with
27 Amalia."
28
provided by Peti�ioner.
2
In the alternative, Petitioner has pied that if Respondent can show that it is not in the child's
3
best interest to have visitation or the declaration of presumed parenthood, then he has visitation
4
s under a Family Code Section 3101 step-parent theory. If the court finds that Petitioner does have
6
step-parent rights to the minor child, the court must take the biological mother's desires into
7
consideration when determining visitation.
8
9 A custodial parent has a 14th Amendment substantive due process liberty interest to make
10 decisions concel'.ning the care, custody and control of her child. The United States Supreme Court
11
has held that state law, as applied, only allows trial courts to grant nonparent visitation rights over a
12
13
parent's objection when the court determines such visitation is in the best interest of the child.
14 Otherwise, the Court may not unconstitutionally in fringe on a custodial parent's right concerning the
IS
care, custody and control of her child. Troxel v. Granville (2000) 530 U S 57, 65-70.
16
The Troxel case further holds that the court must act under a presumption that a fit custodial
17
18 parent will act in the child's best interest regardless of the decision they make granting or denying
19
visitation to a non-parent. Id at 67-68. , see also, Punsly v. Ho ( 2001) 87 CA4th 1099, 1106-1107;
Kyle 0. v. Donald R. ( 2000) 85 CA4th 848, 862-864. California courts have routinely held that
20
21
1
22 deference to the custodial, biological parent should always be given except in "the most unusual and
23
extreme cases." ; Marriage of Gayden (1991) 2 29 CA3d 1510, 15 20. Furthermore, a presumption
24
favoring decisions made by the biological and custodial parent regarding visitation is established in
25
26 California, and the non-parent seeking visitation must rebut that presumption by showing it is in the
30
California Family Code §3101: ". . . .the Court may grant reasonable visitation of a stepparent, if
7
visitation by the stepparent is determined to be in the best interest of the minor child." [emphasis
In
2
added]. the instant case, the facts clearly show that any contact by the minor child with Petitioner
3 l
5 The child in question has been subjected to a seriously damaging environment. Respondent
6
has entered the �hild into school and has been informed that the child's scholastic progress which
far
7
was poor and below average while living with Petitioner and his family, has now skyrocketed
8
9 since his vacating the Lugaresi residence. Also, Respondent has had to take the minor child to a
10 physician and th.erapist to combat the recent trend of him defecating himself while in public; which
11
the doctors have told Respondent has been caused by Petitioner refusing to let him enter the Lugaresi
12
13
home to use the bathroom as well as Petitioner's history of inattentive care of the child. Another
14 reason behind the child's behavior problems could be due to the child's premature exposure to sex.
15
While in their one-room flat in Korea, Petitioner often made advances toward Respondent while the
16
child was in eye and ear shot. Respondent insisted they could only "be passionate" when the child
17
18 was away. However, Petitioner insisted several times while the child was in the same room, making
19
Respondent acquiesce only after disparaging the existence of the child and his interference with their
20
sex life.
21
22 Respondent currently has her own bedroom. The child has his own bedroom. Respondent has
23
a job throgh the LDS chaplain's influence and contacts where she has medical insurance coverage
24
for herself and her child. Respondent is now also able to cash her own paychecks and retain the
25
26 earnings instead ·of signing them over to Petitioner's parents like an indentured servant. Respondent
27 also has the child in school and has overseen his improved scholastic performance. There is also
28
stable child care with the LDS chaplain's wife while Respondent is at work. The child no longer
29
30
defecates himself while being babysat by a videogame system while Respondent is at work.
8
Petitioner has taken no interest in the child's outside activities. He has not provided for him
2
emotionally, financially or mentally. The child is in a serious regressive state due to his treatment
3
at the hands of Petitioner. Respondent is also fear ful that the poor treatment of her child will
4
'
5 continue if Petitioner is granted any kind of rights. Petitioner's family has had an outbreak of
6
tuberculosis and re fused treatment therefore requiring county involvement.
7
Petitioner's family does not believe in normal mandatory inoculations that the child would
8
9 need to attend public school. Petitioner's family treats the child like what they have called him: a
10 "bastard" and have disparaged his mother by calling her a "whore." Petitioner?s family cloistered
11
the mother and child in their garage and locked them away. Petitioner has also exposed the child
12
13
to adult themes prematurely through his video game usage and using videogames as a babysitter
18 Petitioner has many years of formal higher education and yet has made no serious attempts to
19
pursue employment in his field of expertise. Instead he had part-time seasonal employment at a loca
20
Barnes and Noble book store making minimum wage. He recently lost this position and is current}
21
22 unemployed.
23
Respondent works in a care facility making $9.00 per hour. She cannot afford housing for hersel
24
and her child. The only reason she is able to survive is due to the charity of the local L D S clergy wh
25
27 Respondent's earning capacity is extremely low considering her lack of formal education, he
28 '
language dif ficuities and her lack of stable family support here in the United States. Petitioner howeve
29
30
9
lives at home, is highly educated, and has a large family to rely on for emotional, physical and financia
support. An award of support to Petit ioner would be improper considering these factors.
2
3
Furthermore, when a person sponsors another person to become a legal permanent resident,
4
5 Petitioner and his father did, they must fill out a form that creates a contractual obligation to bring tha
I
I
6
person to the United States. This immigration form is form 1-864, or more commonly, an "Affidavit o
7
Support." This f9rm is part of the immigration package that must be filed with the U S CI S (United State
8
10 This Affidavit of Support is filed for the foreign spouse and any minors of the foreign marriage.
11
Petitioner and his father filed this form when he brought my client and her son to the United States. I
12
13 this form, the s�onsor promises to maintain the foreign spouse and any other charge so that he, she, o
18 sponsor's support obligations to the sponsored immigrant under an affidavit of support terminates onl
upon the occurrence of one of five circumstances: 1) the sponsor's death, 2) the sponsored immigrant'
19
20
death, 3) the sponsored immigrant becoming a U.S. citizen, 4) the sponsored immigrant permanent)
21
22 departing the U.S., or 5) the sponsored immigrant being credited with a total of 40 qualifying quarters o
26 in many recent Federal cases. ( See Schwartz v. Schwartz, 2005 WL 1242171, Stump v. Stump, 2005
27 1290658, Ainsworth v. Ainsworth, 2004, U.S. Dist. LEXI S 2896, Montgomery v. Montgomery, U.S.D
28
New Hampshire; 2011).
29
30
10
·'
All of these cases have stated unequivocally that a sponsor is responsible for maintaining th
2
sponsee at 125% the Federal Poverty level absent one of the five circumstances above. This w
3
explained to Petitioner and his father in section l 183(a) of Form I-864.
4
5 Respondent is entitled as a matter of law to be maintained at a rate of 125% the federal pove
6
level. To date, Petitioner has not only not aided Respondent in maintaining this level of income, but h
7
through his parents taken the money earned by Respondent and not reimbursed her. The fact tha
8
9 Petitioner is asking for spousal and child support is in bad taste, and any order of child or spous
10 support will inevitably be offset by the obligations of Petitioner and his father as co-sponsors o
11
Respondent's immigration to the United States.
12
13
III. Attorneys fees
14 There are two theories under California Family Code whereby a party can generally ask for
15
attorneys fees. The first is under Section 271 wherein the award of attorneys fees to one party is mor
16
akin to sanction� being imposed against the other party for a delay or frustration of judicial economy
17
18 The second theory is under Section 2030 which comes into play when one party is prevented fro
19
adequate representation due to a disparity in earning capacity between the parties. Neither theory woul
:
20 '
allow Petitioner to receive attorneys fees from Respondent in the parentage action regarding this mino
21
22 child.
25 "The court may base an award of attorney's fees and costs on the extent to
26 which the conduct of each party or attorney furthers or frustrates
the policy of the law to promote settlement of litigation and, where
27 possible, to reduce the cost of litigation by encouraging cooperation
28
between the parties and attorneys."
29
30 Petitioner has not met the burden of proof set by In re Marriage ofCorona (2009) 172
5 Respondent's reasons for allegedly prolonging litigation, and an award of 271 attorney's fees can
. .
6
only be allowed when those reasons are found to be unnecessary. (Id at 1 2 27).
7
While the court has "considerable latitude in fashioning or denying " the award, the court must
8
9 consider "the appropriate factors " as outlined in the code section. In Re: Marriage of Keech, 75
10
Cal.App.4th 866 ,(1999). These factors include: the furtherance or frustration of the policy of law, b:
11
to promote settlement of litigation, and c: to reduce the cost of litigation by encouraging cooperation
12
13 between the parties. An award of attorneys fees under Section 271(a) therefore requires a review of the
17 contrary, the issue of whether Petitioner has any parental rights or step-parent rights is extremely
21 son can hardly be called an unnecessary litigation expense, especially considering the issues of material
22 fact in the case; namely the fitness of Petitioner to have a role in the minor child's life.
23
Family Code § 2030
24
25 "The purpose of an award under Family Code section 2030 is to ensure that the party in need
has adequate leg � representation to litigate the family law issues." (In re Mariage of Kelso (1998)
26
27
67 Cal.App.4th �74, 384-5 [79 Cal.Rptr.2d 39].) The "primary right " which Family Code section
28
29 2030 intends to vindicate "is the right of a party to a family law proceeding to an adequate
30 opportunity to litigate, notwithstanding a disparity in the parties' income and assets. " (Nicholson v.
12
!' ,..
- 1
11 consider ''the appropriate factors" as outlined in the code section. (Keech, supra, 75 Cal.App. 4th at
12 866. )
13
The primary considerations are the relative income and ability to pay of the parties to the
14
action, the litiga�ion needs of the parties, and whether the fees involved were reasonably necessary.
15
20 any savings whatsoever as the proceeds from her two jobs in the United States were deposited directly
In
21
into Petitioner's parents' possession. fact, Respondent's earnings have not been accounted for by
22
Petitioner's parents. As Petitioner's parents are a source of Petitioner's legal fees, it is unclear whether
23
24 Respondent's ov.in earnings aren't being used to pay to prosecute her. In short, Petitioner is in no way
25
denied access to legal representation as a result of his financial standing.

LIST OF WITNESSES
2 Petitioner intends to call the following witnesses:
3 A. Jason Lugaresi
4 B . Shannon Nightstep - Los Gatos Police Department
5 C. Shelia Lugaresi
6 D. Genelyn Lug.aresi
7 Petitioner reserves the right to call rebuttal witnesses.
8 LEGAL ARGUMENTS
9 I.
10 PETITIONER WILL ESTABLISH
11 THAT HE IS A PRESUMED PARENT
12 Family Code § 76 1 1 provides a number of actions·that can raise the presumption
. . .
13 that "a man i s presumed t� be the natural father" of a child. One o f these is that a person
14 "receives the child into his home and openly holds out the child as his natural child." (FC
15 § 76 1 l (d).)
16 The purpose behind the presumed parent designation "is to distinguish between
17 those fathers who have entered into some familial relationship with the mother and those
18 who have not. In re Sabrina H. ( 1 990) 2 1 7 Cal.App.3d 702, 708, 266 Cal.Rptr. 274.
19 "[T]he premise behind the category of presumed father. is that an individual who has
20 demonstrated a commitment to the child and the child '.s welfare - regardless of whether
21 he is biologically the father - is entitled to the elevated status of presumed fatherhood."
. .
22 In re T.R. (2005) 1 32 Cal.App.4th 1 202, 1 2 1 1 - 1 2 1 2, 34 Cal.Rptr3d 2 1 5 .
23 In determining whether a person has held him or herself out as a.parent, the Courts
24 have focused on the understanding of the relationship by the children. In the seminal
25 case In re Nicholas H. (Nicholas H.U) (2003) 1 1 2 Cal. App. 4th 25 1 , 5 Cai.Rptr.3d 26 1 ,
.
26 Nicholas believed the presumed father was his biological father; in fact the appellate ·
27 court affirmed the trial court order precluding mother frorri telling the c�ild that he was
28 not his presumed father. · The child in In re Salvador M. (2003) 1 1 1 Cal. App.4th 1 335, 4

is domestic violence call will testify that the child called Mr. Lugaresi "daddy." Evidence
16 will show that Petitioner appeared on Korean television introducing the,child as his son,
11 introduced and enrolled the child as his son at church, and otherwise held himself out at
. .
is all relevant times as the child ' s Father. During a portion o f the time the parties were ·
·
19 living i n Korea, Respondent stayed i n factory dormitories during the week whil_e the child
20 stayed. home 1 00% in Petitioner's custody.
21 II.
22 A FINDING OF PRESUMED PARENTHOOD WILL
23 NOT VIOLATE THE RIGHTS OF RESPONDENT
24 If the court finds that Petitioner is the presumed father of the minor child, the
2s Respondent' s right under the due process clause of-the Fourteenth Amendment of the
26 United States Constitution to make decision concerning the child will not be violated.
21 In the case of Troxel v. Granville (2000) 530 U.S. 57, 1 4 7 L.Ed.2d 49, 1 20 S.Ct.
2s 2054, the United States Supreme Court held that a fit parent has the right to make
- 4 -
4 Here, Petitioner is seeking an order that he be declared the legal parent of the child
5 with all of the rights and responsibilities of a parent. Should the court make this order,
6 the Petitioner will no longer be a "non-parent." Thus, Troxel and its progeny are
7 in_apposite as this case involves the issue of whether Petitioner is a co-parent under
8 California law.
9 Ill.
10 THE COURT SHOULD ORDER
11 A REASONABL.E TIMESHARE TO PETITIONER
12 The evidence will show that up until Mother was arrested and jailed for a domestic
13 violence incident against Father, which incident occurred in front of the child, the parties
14 .
lived together continl:lally with the child for more than 5 years. Father provided a
15 substantial part of the day-to-day care of the child. Father was involved with the
16 children's preschool, feeding, play and all other aspects of parenting. In fact, the conflict
11 that led to the domestic violence was Mother' s objection to Father playing video games
18 with the child when she was not .in the home. The child stayed with Father when Mother
19 was arrested. When Mother was released .from jail, she went with church representatives
20 and took the child; Father cooperated with her request in order not to subject Ian to more
21 conflict. Thereafter Father made efforts to communicate with the church representatives,
22 in particular Randal Mackley. Mr. Mackley was apparently the LDS Chaplin at the jail
23 when Mother was _incarcerated, met Mother there and Mother has been living with him
24 since she was released from j ail. All efforts of Father to have contact with the child have
25 been rebuffed. The Court Ordered both parties to Family Court Services Orientation and
26 Mediation ori October 5 , 20 1 2 and Mother was personally serv.ed with that Order on
21 October 1 7, 20 1 2. Father attended Orientation on October. 22, 20 1 2 but Mother did not

20 I\T.
21 · THE COURT SHOULD DEFER AN ORDER
22 OF CHILD SUPPORT AT THIS TIME
23 The current circumstances of the parties are that Petitioner has no income and he
24 has no time with the minor child. Respondent is employed. Given these circumstances,
25 the court should not order child support to be paid to Respondent at this time.
.
26 Should there be a chan·ge of circumstances, the parties should stipulate to· guideline
-21 support or file a request for order with the court if they cannot agree.
28

f
k. Petitioner will be at a hardship if he is denied spousal support. Petitioner needs
2 spousal support at least until such time as he can become self-supporting.
3 I . Petitioner should be awarded spousal support until such time as he can become
4· self-supporting.
5 m. Neither party has any criminal convictions for domestic violence.
6 n. The court should consider these factors in making.a spousal support award
7 which is just and reasonable.
8 For these reasons, spousal support should be awarded to Petitioner.
9
10 VI.
II THE COURT SHOULD AWARD ATTORNEY'S
12 FEES AND COSTS TO PETITIONER
13 California Family Code § 2032 states:
14 "(a) The court may make an award of attorney's fees and costs under Section
15 2030 or 203 1 where the making of the - award, and the amount of the award,
are just and reasonable under the relative circumstances of the respective
16
parties.
17 (b) In determining what is just and reasonable under the relative ,
circumstances, the court shall take into consideration the need for the award
18
· to enable each party, to the extent practical, to have sufficient financial ·
25 circumstances."
26 Under this statute, the court should award fees and costs when the circumstances
27
are "just and reasonable." The court should consider whether the parties have the
28
financial resources to present each party's case adequately.
- 8 -
f
Here, Petitioner has no income. Respondent is employed and has retained counsel.
.
I
18 In addition, the court should award spousal support in an amount according to the
19
applicable guideline and statutory factors. Finally, the court should a:ward attorney's
20 fees and costs to Petitioner in an amount that is just and reasonable.

Attorney for Respondent,
6 GENELYN LUGARESI

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
8
COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA

15
Respondent
16
21 It is not in the best interest of the child for Petitioner to have visitation rights pursuant
to California Family Code §3101.
22
23
Petitioner's Supplemental Brief relies on two (2) simple facts in arguing for visitation to be
24
25
awarded to Petitioner: (1 ) Petitioner has filed a Dissolution of Marriage action including a request
26 for visitation (i.e. he has ostensibly taken "concrete" steps to request visitation), and (2) any
27
visitation would not interfere with the birth father's visitation rights. However, Petitioner's
28
arguments gloss over the most important determinable factor set forth in California Family Code
29
30 §310 1 : ". . . . the Court may grant reasonable visitation of a stepparent, if visitation by the stepparent
is determined to be in the best interest of the minor child." [emphasis added]. In the instant case,
2 the facts clearly show that any contact by the minor child with Petitioner is not in the best interest of
3
the child.
4
A custodial parent has a 1 41h Amendment substantive due process liberty interest to make
5
6 decisions concerning the care, custody and control of her child. The United States Supreme Court
7 has held· that state law, as applied, only allows trial courts to grant nonparent visitation rights over a
8
parent's objection when the court determines such visitation is in the best interest of the child.
9
10 Otherwise, the Court may not unconstitutionally infringe on a custodial parent's right concerning the
11 care, custody and control of her child. Troxel v. Granville (2000) 530 US 57, 65-70.
12
The Troxel case further holds that the court must act under a presumption that a fit custodial
13
14 parent will act in the child's best interest regardless of the decision they make granting or denying
15 visitation to a non-parent. Id at 67-68., see also, Punsly v. Ho (2001 ) 87 CA4th 1 099, 1 1 06-11 07;
Kyle 0. v. Donald R. (2000) 85 CA4th 8 48, 862-864. California courts have routinely held that
16
17
deference to the custodial, biological parent should always be given except in "the most unusual and
18
19 extreme cases." Marriage of Gayden (1991 ) 229 CA3d 1 51 0, 1 520. Furthermore, a presumption
20
favoring decisions made by the biological and custodial parent regarding visitation is established in
21
California, and the non-parent seeking visitation must rebut that presumption by showing it is in the
22
23 best interest of the child for the court to grant visitation:
24 "Consistent with the holdings of other courts in the section 31 02 cases, we hold that
25 [California Family Code] section 3101 conforms to constitutional dictates if the
decision to permit visitation applies the rebuttable presumption favoring parental
26 decisions."
28
1111

II II
2 in the best interests of the minor child. Petitioner is a member of a family of religious zealots who
3
practice an extreme form of their religion to the degradation of women and children. Petitioner
4
aggressively lobbied the Mother to abort the child when he found out she was unmarried and
5
6 pregnant. Petitioner and his family routinely called the child's Mother a "whore" in front of the
7
child. Their rationale is that this is the label that is applied to women in biblical times who had
8
children out of wedlock. Even worse, Petitioner and his family treated the child's Mother exactly
9
lO like what they labeled her (a whore) and the child like the son of such an offensively labeled person.
11 The facts of this case are not disputed by Petitioner in his supplemental papers. When the
parties moved to the United States in March, 2012, Petitioner stayed iri his parent's house and
12
13
14
Respondent and the minor child were forced to stay in a broken-down camper hiding in the garage
15 without windows. The smell of gasoline permeated throughout the garage. Respondent's and the
16
minor child's clothes smelled like gasoline. Their food, which Respondent had to prepare on a hot
17
plate in the camper, smelled of gasoline. Petitioner and his family are religious extremists who
18
19 believe that the end times are near-Respondent could only assume the storeg gasoline and other
20
dangerous materials amassed in the garage were in preparation for those believed end times. They
21
never worried about the safety of the child nor his Mother. In the meantime, Petitioner slept in a
22
23 warm bed in his family's house and ate meals with his family in his family's house. Petitioner
24 and/or his family held the door keys to the garage barring access to the Respondent and the minor
25
child to the home. When Respondent or the minor child needed drinking water or to go to the
26
27 bathroom they were forced to go outside the garage, walk around the outside of the house to the
28 front door, and ask for permission to come inside to use the bathroom or obtain drinking water. The
29
keys to the house were never given to Respondent.
30
3
Even more frightening is the fact that Petitioner and his family are staunchly against
2 receiving any sort of medical treatment even when it has dangerous implications. One of the
3
members of Petitioner's family tested positive for tuberculosis, yet the family refused to have this
4
individual treated. It was so bad that the County quarantined the residence when they discovered
5
6 what had happened. Petitioner himself has coughed blood profusely while he was with Respondent
7
and the minor child, yet angrily refused to see a doctor when Respondent begged him to go. After
8
Respondent escaped from the residence, she immediately had herself and the child tested for
9
10 tuberculosis. The child tested clean. Respondent tested positive, however, was enormously relieved
14
documents which remitted her paychecks directly to Petitioner's family. Respondent worked
15 multiple jobs-the money from which went directly to Petitioner's family. In the meantime,
&
16
Petitioner rarely was employed, if at all. He is now apparently a part-time employee at a Barnes
17
Noble. Petitioner and his family signed federal documents when the sponsored Respondent and the
18
19 minor child into the United States committing that Respondent and the minor child would not live
20
below the poverty level. They have clearly breached this agreement. Respondent has been in
21
contact with an immigration attorney regarding her immigration status in this country. When the
22
23 immigration attorney learned of the conditions under which Respondent was living and the fact she
24 was forced to give her income to the sponsoring family, Respondent was advised that her case fits
25
the profile of "human trafficking" and that she should report Petitioner and his family to the federal
26
28 Prior to living in the United States, the parties lived in Korea. Petitioner insisted that the
29
parties move to Korea over Respondent's objection so that he could study Korean. The parties
30
4
.-.
stayed five (5) years in Korea while Petitioner was purportedly a student. Petitioner did nothing
2 during this time to support Respondent or the minor child. For the first two (2) years in Korea,
3
Respondent worked at a Kia car factory operating heavy machinery from 1 0:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
4
Respondent would take the minor child to school and then rush to work. Petitioner would
5
6 consistently refuse to pick up the minor child from school or wait for the school bus which forced
7
Respondent to leave her job many times early to be with the child. Respondent was forced to quit
8
that job. The next three (3) years Respondent was forced to work at a Filipino Restaurant located an
9
10 hour away from their home during the night shift in order to care for her son during the daytime after
II Petitioner's refusal to do so. Respondent would work from 9:00 p.m. until 5 :00 a.m. She would put
12
her son to bed, go to work, rush home by 6:00 a.m. to wake her son and prepare breakfast and
13
14
prepare him for school. She would then pick the minor child up from school and care for him until
15 he went to bed. Petitioner did nothing to help Respondent during this time, either financially or in
16
any manner as a parent. His only idea of parenting was to give the minor child "time outs" by
17
making the child stand outside in the freezing cold (Korea has terribly cold winters) when Petitioner
18
19 felt that the minor child was acting up. There was one instance in January, 20 1 0, when Respondent
20
returned home from work to find the minor child outside the house barefoot and freezing and crying.
21
The moment he saw Respondent he ran to her and hugged her screaming. The parties had a small
22
23 one-room apartment and Petitioner's solution for when the minor child's noise bothered him was to
24 put him outside. Petitioner certainly didn�t work during this time to support Respondent or the minor
25
child. Respondent is also not even sure if Petitioner attended school or was just biding his time
26
27 Petitioner has not ever divulged the details of his life during the daytime when they lived in Korea.
28 Petitioner was in Korea on a student visa and Respondent was in Korea on an F-3 visa-a tourist
29
Visa. Respondent was not able to open a bank account under her Visa so she gave her paycheck
30
6 attempted many times to have sex with Respondent in the presence of the child. When Respondent
7 refused, Petitioner would angrily yell at her that it was her "fault" she had a child and that the child
8
always got between them.
9
10 When Petitioner did spend time with the minor child in the United States, Petitioner almost
11 exclusively played the most heinous and violent video games with the minor child. There were
12
many occasions where Petitioner left the minor child alone with Petitioner's own siblings to play
13
these terrible video games. These video games include acts of extreme violence, bloodshed,
14
15 beheadings, and other horrible images-entirely inappropriate for a minor child. Respondent
16
protested and begged Petitioner not to play these violent video games with the minor child. This led
17
to the argument in late June, 20 1 2 where Petitioner attempted to physically grab the minor child
18
19 away from Respondent. Respondent bit Petitioner's hand to keep him from doing this and was
20
pushed down by Respondent's brother. Petitioner called the police and reported Respon.dent for
21
domestic violence. However, the criminal court, upon learning the facts of the case, dismissed the
22
23 case entirely. Through the help of very patient and longsuffering Church leaders, Respondent was
24 able to be reunited with her child after the negotiated the child's release from Petitioner's family.
Since Respondent and the minor child have left Petitioner' s family's garage, there has been a
25
26
27 marked improvement in the quality of life for the minor child. Another family in Respondent's
28 Church has taken them in - a family that is not zealous and extreme in practicing their religion.
29
Both Respondent and the minor child have their own separate rooms. The minor child has been
30
6
enrolled full-time in a great public school. Respondent is working full-time and has procured
2 medical coverage for the minor child. For the first time in the minor c hild's life, he has friends and
3
is being invited to birthday parties. He sings in the school choir. Both Respondent and the minor
4
5
?hild have been active and have thrived in their new Church congregation. Attached hereto as
6 Exhibit "A" is a true and correct copy of correspondence from the minor child's first grade teacher
7
illustrating the great progress he has made ( Respondent intends to provide this in Declaration form
8
signed under oath at the hearing). Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is a true and correct copy of the
9
10 m inor child's progress report which shows the progress he has made and the catching up he needs to
11 do after being forced to stay in Petitioner's family's garage (note the name of the child on the
12
progress report is " Julian Genesis T. Gubutan, not "Ian Lugaresi " as Petitioner claims). The minor
13
14
child is now happy and well-adjusted. He has not asked about Petitioner nor requested to see
19 when the police arrived after he reporte d Respondent for domestic violence, the police interviewed
20
the minor child and the minor child stated " Mommy and Daddy got into a fight." This fact put forth
21
by Petitioner shows that Petitioner has trained the child to call him " Daddy", not that Petitioner has
22
24
II.
25
Petitioner has not made a prima facie case that he has openly held out the child to be bis
26 own and taken him into his home pursuant to California Family Code §76 1 l (d).
27
California Family Code §76 1 l (d) states : "A man is presumed to be the natural father of a
28
29 child if. . . . (d) [ H]e receives the child into his home and openly holds out the child as his natural
30 child." Petitioner rests his claim on the following ( 1 ) his own simple statement that he held the child
out to be his own, (2) he took the child into his home, (3) many official documents list the child as
2 "Ian Lugaresi", and (4) the child called him Daddy. The facts clearly show that each and every one
3
of these arguments fail .
4
First and foremost, Petitioner provides absolutely no evidence that he held the child out to be
5
6 his own other than his own self-serving statement that "[e]xcept for a few members of my immediate
7
family and our church's bishop, everyone who knows our family believes Ian is my natural son."
8
This statement is patently false. The Church leaders and members of the parties' Mormon
9
Io congregation commonly knew and know that the minor child was not the son of Petitioner.
15 retribution by Petitioner and his family. The minor child has exclusively Filipino features which
16
have always prompted questions regarding his background. Anyone who has asked has been told
17
truthfully that the child's father is Filipino, not Petitioner. Finally, a review of Petitioner's paycheck
18
19 stub shows that he does not claim any exemptions for withholding for a child - he does not even
20
hold out to his own employer that he has a child. Petitioner simply stating that he has held the child
21
out to be his own does not establish a prima facie case nor create a rebuttable presumption that he is
22
24 Secondly, it is not refuted that Petitioner did not take the minor child into his own home.
25
Petitioner lives in his parents' home. The minor child was not even taken into that home. The minor
26
27 child and his mother were forced to live in a broken-down camper in the garage of Petitioner's
28 parents' property while Petitioner himself resided in the house as set forth in detail above.
IIII
29
30
8
.�
The next factor that Petitioner puts forth is that the child's name on most official documents
2 lists him as "Ian Lugaresi." This is again patently false. Attached hereto as Exhibit "C" is a true
3
and correct copy of the Filipino Certificate of Live Birth which lists the child's name as "Julian
4
Genesis Tuliao Gabutan" - the natural father's last name is Gabutan. Attached hereto as Exhibit
5
6 "D" is a true and correct copy of the child's passport - he is named as Julian Genesis Tuliao
7 Gabutan. Attached hereto as Exhibit "E" is a true and correct copy of the child's Korean Visa - he
8
is named as Julian Genesis T. Gabutan. Attached hereto as Exhibit "F" is a true and correct copy of
9
10 the child's Korean Alien Registration card - he is listed as Julian Genesis Gabutan. Attached hereto
11 as Exhibit "G" is a true and correct copy of a Pre-School diploma from Korea listing the child's last
12 ,
name as "Gabutan; (a certified translation will be provided by the day of the hearing). Attached
13
hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "H" is a true and correct copy of the child's United States
14
15 Green Card - he is listed as Julian Gabutan. Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "I"
16
is the official Mormon Church record showing the child's name as "Julian Genesis Tuliao Gabutan."
17
Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "J" is a true and correct copy of health benefits
18
19 cards for the minor child - he is listed as Julian T. Gabutan. The only document where the
20
Petitioner's name even appears in any capacity is on the Korean kindergarten registration which lists
21
the Petitioner as ·a "guardian" for emergency contact purposes. The same document lists the child's
22
23 name as "Gabutan". A true and correct copy of the Korean kindergarten registration is attached
24 hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "K" (a certified translation will be provided by the day of
25
the hearing). The documents attached hereto not only refute Petitioner's claim that the child is listed
26
27 as "Ian Lugaressi" on most documents, it puts into serious question Petitioner's credibility as to his
/Ill
29
30
9
.•
Finally, Petitioner rests on the fact that the child told the police that "Mommy and Daddy got
2 into a fight" when the police responded to Petitioner's call regarding Respondent for alleged
3
domestic violence. This statement is not indicative of Petitioner holding the son out to be his child.
4
This statement is not indicative that the rest of the community knew or thought was the case
5
6 regarding the child's parentage. This statement is simply indicative of the fact that the Petitioner
7
trained a vulnerable minor child to call him "Daddy."
8
III.
9
IO Conclusion.
11
12 Based on the foregoing, Respondent respectfully requests that this Court find that visitation by
13 Petitioner with the minor child as a step-parent is not in the best interest of the minor child and deny
14
Petitioner's request for such visitation. Respondent also respectfully requests that this Court find that
15
Petitioner has not held out the minor child as his own and has not taken the minor child into his home
16
17 pursuant to California Family Code § 76 1 l (d) and is therefore not the presumptive natural father of the
18
minor child. Accordingly, Respondent respectfully requests that this Court deny Petitioner's request for
19
visitation with the minor child.

Exhibit
A
• ·'
Julian Gabutan is a first grade student in my class at Noddin Elementary School in San Jose. When
school started in August of this year, Ian was a very angry little boy. H e would throw temper tantrums,
yell at me, sit on the floor with his a rms folded, try to run out of the classroom and refuse to do any
class work. He was physically aggressive with the other children and had a very d ifficult time
communicating. As a result he had a very hard time learning any academics a n d he had no friends
because the other children were afraid of h i m . He told many stories of his father whom he claimed was
an astronaut who had flown in a space ship to the moon, had been in fights beating up and killing "bad
guys."
To address his academic issues, he was placed in two different reading classes. One is "Response to
Instruction" where he is in the Inte nsive learning class for 50 mi nutes per day. The other is a pull out
program called " Reading Intervention" which is a 3-1 tutoring class which teaches Kindergarten basic
skills for reading to get him caught up to beginning first grade reading skills. He began the year not being
able to read at a l l and now he is at the Kindergarten/beginning first grade level. He is getting small
group instruction for math 3 days/week a nd whole group instruction 2 days per week. H e is beginning to
pick up some math skills.
To address his social skills he has been attending a " Lunch Bunch" group which is teacher supervised on
Tuesdays d u ring the lunch recess period. Students play games, build with legos, play chess, and learn
how to get along with others. I n class we have focused on "Too Good for Drugs" and " Be a Buddy"
which is a program through the Cornerstone project.
As a consequence, I was happy to inform his mother this past week d u ring parent-teacher conferences
that I have witnessed a huge im provement in Ian's academic and social growth. He now has friends to
play with at recess. He gets a long much better with others and actually has a friend to eat lunch with
a n d with which to pa l around. He plays ball with others and is a happy boy who smiles often. He seems
to have adjusted wel l a nd is much more cooperative in learning situations.
He has stopped telling fanciful stories and although he still has difficulty staying focused d u ring
instruction, he does very well with one on one help.
J u l ian's mother has been extremely concerned about her son . We have had m a ny discussions and e
mails rega rding his behaviors a nd academic needs. She is a dedicated parent who m a kes sure that Ian
does his homework and gets him to school every day and on time. She was grateful for the opportunity
offered to her son in the Reading Intervention program even though it meant a n adjustment in her pick
up schedule. She responds to school parental permission requests a nd emails promptly. Ian appears to
be well cared for. He is clean and well rested on a daily basis and seems to be well on his way towards a
solid foundation.

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

18
l. I am the Respondent in the above captioned matter. If called as a witness, I could and
19
20 would testify competently to the facts stated herein. I am submitting the following in response to
24 for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon Church). Missionaries are not allowed
25 to have romantic relationships, therefore, after Petitioner returned home to the United States he came
26
back to the Philippines to pursue a relationship with me in 2005. When he returned, we were not in a
27
relationship as he would like to imagine. We never lived together and we never had a physical
28
29 relationship. I continued to date other men during this time and Petitioner returned to the United
30
States frustrated ·that we weren't an exclusive couple.
3. I became pregnant with another man during this time. Petitioner returned to the
2
Philippines, and when he discovered that I was pregnant, he encouraged me to abort the child. This is
3
despite our religious beliefs which are contrary to abortion. When I refused to abort my child,
4
5 Petitioner returned to the United States. Petitioner was in the United States when my son, Julian
6
("Ian"), was born on April 1 9, 2006 in the Philippines. Seven (7) months later, Petitioner returned to
7
the Philippines and he and I began a relationship. We were later married on May 20, 2007, after Ian
8
10 4. We lived in Korea for ·a period of time and then I came to the United States with my
11
son and Petitioner on March 3 1 , 20 1 2. Petitioner's statement is false when states that his name is on
12
13 most documents for my son. My son's alien registration card in Korea and his green card in the
14 United States lists the name of Julian Gabutan. He was only listed on my son's emergency card in
'
15
kindergarten for just that purpose: an emergency.
16
5. Petitioner brought me to the United States with my son and I was forced to live in
17
18 squalid conditions at his parents' home. My son and I were not actually allowed to live in
:
19
Petitioner's family's home. We were forced to live in an old broken-down c�per in the garage
20
which was full of junk. We were forced to stay in the garage like dogs where everything smelled of
21
22 gasoline. The camper had no fresh air or natural light. Petitioner lived in his parents home and
23
enjoyed meals with his parents and family while we were banished to the garage in a camper. My
24
son and I were given a hot plate to cook out meals on. We were never allowed in the house except to
25
26 get water to drink. Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" are true and correct pictures of the camper and
27 garage we were forced to live in. (Color photographs are available as well).
28
6. Petitioner has never provided for my son nor myself financially. I have often worked
29
30
two (2) jobs to support us. After I arrived in the United States, however, Petitioner's family made me
5 7. P�titioner is a thirty (30) year old man who lives at home with his parents. He would
6 babysit my son ,by playing hours and hours of violent video games with him,;'. usually while I was
7
working. I continually objected to this. These· games encouraged my son to celebrate stabbing,
8
9 shooting, beheading and killing! l pleaded with Petitioner for him to stop this behavior and to take
10 financial responsibility.
11
8. The video games were the source of our argument that led to our argument that ended
12
13 in my arrest. Petitioner was playing violent video games with my son and I attempted to remove my
14 son from the video games. A true and correct copy of the type of violent video games that Petitioner
15
plays with Ian and himself is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B". Petitioner
16
pulled on my son and I bit his hand to release him. Petitioner's brother, who was also present,
17
18 knocked me to the floor (all 1 1 0 pounds of me). Petitioner then called the police and reported me for
19
domestic violence. I was arrested and handcuffed in front of my son. Afterward, when I appeared in
20
criminal court, the charges were promptly dismissed.
21
22 I 0. · When I was released from jail, Petitioner refused to let me see my son or return to the
23 property where I was living. He was ambivalent about whether I was staying on the street or in a
homeless shelter. Fortunately, though, through the help of our Church leaders, i was able to reunite
24
25
26 with my son.
27 11. The one silver lining in this horrible experience for me was that I have received
An
28
generous help from my Church leaders. older couple in our Church have taken my son and I into
29
30 their home and shown us true charity. The husband is akin to a pastor in our Church. They have
been a blessing in my life. Their children are fully grown adults with .their OW11 families so Ian and I
have our own rooms. I have been able to obtain full-time employment with benefit� and I have gotten
2
3
Ian medical coverage (we had no medical coverage before). I am working toward becoming
4
s financially self-�eliant. The wife where I live is licensed and operated a daycare business for
1 2.
7
Simply put, the Petitioner and his family are not good p·eople. His family member(s)
8
9 would call me a "whore" in front of my son. My son and I were forced to live in horrible conditions
I0 in their garage and I was forced to work and give them money while Petitioner sat' around and played
11
violent video games . . Now that Ian and I have separated ourselves from that situation, we are both
12
13 finally happy and optimistic about our future. It is in both of our best interests that Petitioner nor his
15
13. Petitioner and his family do not believe in vaccinations for some reason. Petitioner
16
coughed blood many times when we were in Korea yet would not see a doctor. His family has tested
17
18 positive for tuberculosis. He nor his family refused to have Ian nor I tested for tuberculosis. After we
19
left, we tested for tuberculosis and fortunately Ian did not have it. I tested positive, however, I
20
fortunately discovered that it was a false positive and I do not have tuberculosis.
21
22 1 4. Petitioner has the hubris to ask for spousal support and attomey�s fees. His requests
23 are procedurally defective, because he did not serve an Income and Expense Declaration. Aside from
&
24
this, to the best of my knowledge, Petitioner works part time at a Barnes Noble store and spends
25 .
26 the rest_ of his time playing violent video games while living with his parents.)' He has no basis to
4
,
Ian in any sense of the word, legally or otherwise. He has neyer supported us. He forced us to live in
2
his p�ents' garage with a hot plate while he played video games in the house. There is no law or
6
