California Court of Appeal

Order granting parents joint legal and physical custody of their son and daughter is reversed and remanded for further proceedings, where: 1) the trial court improperly modified an earlier custody determination, under which the mother had sole legal and physical custody of the children, without finding a significant change in circumstances; and 2) the trial court erroneously failed to consider the effect of a domestic violence restraining order against the father.
