BACKGROUND

In June 2009, Child was born to Mother and Father. The parents dispute the

details of their relationship, but it appears that Father, Mother, and Child lived together

until Mother and Father ended their relationship in July 2014. Shortly thereafter, Father

filed a petition to establish paternity and for an order granting him sole legal and physical

custody of Child. Upon filing the petition, an automatic restraining order took effect,

preventing either parent from removing Child from the State of California.

In her response to Father's petition, Mother claimed that Father was a sperm donor

with no parental rights. Mother also requested an order granting her sole legal and

physical custody of Child.

In November 2014, the court entered an order accepting the parents' stipulation

granting Mother temporary sole legal custody and primary physical custody of Child with

weekly visitation with Father.

On February 6, 2015, while the paternity action was pending, Mother requested an

ex parte order to allow her to move to Arkansas with Child. She declared that after being

unemployed for a long period of time, she was offered a new job in Arkansas.…
