BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL FACTS
In 2013, when A.F. was four years old, Mother sought and received a

As part of the dissolution, they reached a marital settlement agreement that included child custody, and the court retained jurisdiction over the matter for purposes of resolving disputes. The custody agreement gives parents joint legal care, custody, and control of A.F. It also states, “The child shall not be exposed to court papers or disputes between the parents, and each parent shall make every possible effort to ensure that other people comply with this order.” Mother was represented by Edward Castro in the dissolution proceedings; Castro filed a notice of withdrawal of attorney of record on November 17, 2015.
