BACKGROUND
The parties’ son was born in November 2018. (C.T. v. K.W. (2021) 71 Cal.App.5th 679, 681.) Immediately thereafter, K.W. caused a child support action to be filed by the local child support agency in Los Angeles Superior Court, and that case ended in a stipulated judgment. (Ibid.) In February 2019, C.T. brought this action in San Francisco Superior Court seeking a domestic violence restraining order against K.W. based on conduct that also led to the filing of criminal charges against K.W. by the San Francisco District Attorney. (C.T. v. K.W., supra, 71 Cal.App.5th at p. 681.) In his request seeking the restraining order, C.T. also sought sole legal and physical custody of the parties’ son. (Ibid.) In March 2019, the San Francisco Superior Court issued an amended temporary restraining order awarding C.T. sole legal and physical custody of
2 the child. (C.T. v. K.W., supra, 71 Cal.App.5th at p. 682.) At that time, the trial court made a determination that California was the child’s home state (§ 3421, subd. (a)(1)) based on C.T.’s residence and information that K.W. provided in the child’s birth certificate stating that her home address was in Los Angeles, California.…
