Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Motion for Set Aside
Request
Respondent asks that the Court set aside the orders of August 16, 2013, and permit him to answer
Petitioner’s submissions in connection with the orders.
Introduction and Factual Background

1. Introduction
This motion, presented by Respondent in Pro Per, Jeffery Frazier, brings grounds to the
10 attention of the trial court showing that the orders of 08—1 6—13 are void upon their face. It is
ll requested that the Court act on this motion and set aside each of the void orders.
12
Petitioner, Kathleen Kostas (Frazier), is represented by attorneys Nedda Ledgerwood and
13
Walter Hammon. The parties were married on April 8, 1995. Judgment/Dissolution was entered 04-
14
17-13. The parties have two daughters, Kalista (DOB 02-05-2002) and Lauren (DOB 07-29-2005).
15
II. Factual Background
16
Petitioner commenced the action on January 26, 2011. Mandatory settlement conference
17
(MSC) statements were filed in early April 2013 by each party (13% A [Respondent], 3
18
[Petitioner]), and opening trial briefs were filed and exchanged by the parties at the courthouse on
19
20 May 20, 2013 (m _D_ [Respondent], g [Petitioner]). Petitioner had sought to impute income to
21 Respondent with a declaration filed February 4, 2013 @Lh. Q), which was opposed by Respondent
22
on February 5, 2013 (E_xh. fl). Petitioner supplemented her request for imputation by a declaration
23
filed June 13, 2013 M~ I), which was opposed by Respondent on June 14, 2013 @h. 1). A hearing
24
on imputation was held June 17, 2013. Two sets of orders were issued on August 16, 2013 (El—KM
25
26 E [Order Re: Respondent’s Request for Modification of Child Support and Temporary Spousal Support],
27 L [Findings and Order Re Attomey’s Fees and Costs]). The Court held in Petitioner’s favor and against
28 Respondent on each and every issue. One of the orders upwardly modified child support and
1
temporary spousal support in favor of Petitioner. That order also granted an imputation of income of
$225,000/yr. against Respondent. The other of the orders granted Petitioner attomey’s fees, costs,
and sanctions of $105,000. The orders are facially void.
Points and Authorities

III. Due Process Concepts
A. Notice
"To dispense with notice before taking property is likened to obtaining judgement without the
defendant having ever been summoned." (Mayor ofBaltimore vs. Scharf(1880) 54 Md. 499, 519.)
"Notice sufficient to enable a meaningful response is an indispensable element of due process.

10
(Rosenblit v. Superior Court (1991) 231 Cal. App. 3d 1434, 1445 [282 Cal. Rptr. 819]; 7 Witkin,
11
12
Summary of Cal. Law (9th ed. 1988) Constitutional Law, § 518, pp. 715—716.)" (Gresher v.
13 Anderson (2005) 127 Cal.App.4th 88, 109 [25 Cal.Rptr.3d 408].)
14 B. Service and jurisdiction

“[C]ompliance with the statutory procedures for service of process is essential to establish
15
16 personal jurisdiction. [Citation] Thus, a defaultjudgment entered against a defendant who was not
17 served with a summons in the manner prescribed by statute is void.” (Dill v. Berquist Construction
18
Co. (1994) 24 Cal.App.4th 1426, 1444 [29 Cal. Rptr. 2d 746].) “[A]ctual notice to defendant cannot
19
suffice to uphold the jurisdiction of the court.” (American Express Centurion Bank v. Zara (2011)
20
199 Cal.App.4th 383, 392 [131 Cal.Rptr.3d 99].)
21
22
A jurisdictional defect is one that "strips the court of its power to act and makes its judgment
23 void." Escareno v. Carl Nolte Sohne GmbH & Co. (11th Cir. 1996) 77 F.3d 407, 412.
24 1. Burden of Proof
“‘When a defendant argues that service of summons did not bring him or her within the trial
25
26 court's jurisdiction, the plaintiff has “the burden of proving the facts that did give the court
27 jurisdiction, that is the facts requisite to an effective service.’ (Coulston v. Cooper (1966) 245
28
2
Cal.App.2d 866, 868 [54 Cal. Rptr. 302])” (American Express Centurion Bank v. Zara (2011) 199
Cal.App.4th 383, 387 [131 Ca1.Rptr.3d 99].)
"[I]t is plain that where the burden of proof lies may be decisive of the outcome." [citation]
(Armstrong v. Manzo (1965) 380 US. 545, 551 [85 S.Ct. 1187, 1191, 14 L.Ed.2d 62, 66].)
IV. Void Judgments and Orders

A. Statutory and Inherent Powers of Courts
Under Code Civ. Proc. (CCP) § 473(d), a court may, on motion of either party, after notice to
the other party, set aside any void judgment or order. This provision applies in all courts (see People
v. One 1941 Chrysler Sedan (1947) 81 Cal. App.2d 18, 22, 183 P.2d 368). Apart from CCP §473,
10
courts historically have inherent power at law to set aside a void judgment on the motion of a party,
11
12 whether or not it is void on its face (People v. One 1941 Chrysler Sedan, supra, 81 Cal. App.2d 18 at
13 21, 25.) “[A] trial court generally retains the inherent power to vacate a default judgment or order on
14
equitable grounds where a party establishes that the judgment or order was void for lack of due
15
process [citation] or resulted from extrinsic fraud or mistake [citation].” (County ofSan Diego v.
16
Gorham (2010) 186 Cal.App.4th 1215, 1228 [113 Ca1.Rptr.3d 147].)
17
18 The court has equitable power to set aside a void judgment at any time. “‘It is well settled that
19 a judgment or order which is void on its face, and which requires only an inspection of the judgment-
20
roll or record to show its invalidity, may be set aside on motion, at any time after its entry, by the
21
court which rendered the judgment or made the order. [Citations.]’ [Citations.]” (Reid v. Balter
22
(1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 1186, 1194 [18 Cal. Rptr. 2d 287].)
23
24
B. Test for Void
A judgment is void on its face when its invalidity appears from inspection of the record (Cruz
25
v. Fagor America, Inc. (2007) 146 CA4th 488, 496, 52 CR3d 862), otherwise known as the judgment
26
roll in the statute defining it [see CCP § 670(b)]. (County of Ventura v. Tillett (1982) 133 Cal. App.
27
28 3d 105, 112, 183 Cal. Rptr. 741 , 745.) A judgment may also be void on its face when its invalidity
3
appears from the inspection of certain other papers on file in the case (See, e.g., Swain v. Swain
(1967) 250 CA2d 1, 10—1 1, 58 CR 83.)
C. CCP 8 580. Relief to be awarded to plaintiff

“(a) The relief granted to the plaintiff, if there is no answer, cannot exceed that demanded in
the complaint...” It has consistently been held that a judgment rendered in violation of section 580
is void as beyond the court's jurisdiction. (Greenup v. Rodman (1986) 42 Cal.3d 822, 826; Van
Sickle v. Gilbert (2011) 196 Cal.App.4th 1495, 1521 .)
D. A iudge mayl set aside a void order by another iudsze

The law is hostile to "void orders" and such orders can be set aside at any time, by anyjudge. (See
10
People v. West Coast Shows, Inc. (I 970) I0 Cal.App.3d 462, 467 [explaining that a voidjudgment may
11
be set aside "by ajudge other than the one who made it"]; Ross v. Murphy (1 952) 113 Cal.App.2d 453,
12
455 [holding that the court has statutory authority under Code Civ. Proc., § 473 as well as inherent
13
authority to set aside a void judgment or order of anotherjudge].)
14
15
V. The Sanctions Orders Are Void
A lack of proper prior notice rendered the sanction of $30,000 a violation of due process.
l6
Accordingly, the sanction order is void.
17
A. Inadequate prior notice was provided regarding sanctions,
18
Violating Respondent’s due-process rights, so the sanctions
order is void.
19
“A judgment [or order] entered without notice is void and can be attacked at any time.
20
[citations.]” (Gamet v. Blanchard (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 1276, 1286 [111 Cal.Rptr.2d 439].)
21
In the present case, Petitioner did not provide sufficient prior notice of her claims for section
22
23 271 sanctions. Family Code section 271, subdivision (a), provides for the award of attorney's fees as
24 a sanction, "... only after notice to the party against whom the sanction is proposed to be imposed
25
and opportunity for that party to be heard." (Fam. Code, § 271, subd. (b).)
26
Contrary to the statement by the trial judge, Judge Zayner, in the FINDINGS AND ORDER
27
RE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS of August 16, 2013 (p. 3, 11. 3-12), Respondent was n_ot
28
4
given any prior notice as to the new allegations for which Petitioner requested sanctions — which
were presented for the first time in this case in her opening trial brief. Her allegations regarding
sanctions are not found in any paper or transcript preceding filing of the opening trial briefs. Because
the parties opening trial briefs were filed simultaneously, Respondent never saw Petitioner’s new
issues for sanctions until m he had submitted his opening trial brief. The specific conduct and
amount for which Petitioner would seek sanctions were not provided until she actually served her
opening trial brief itself. So, in fact, no prior notice was provided to Respondent. Petitioner filed her
request for sanctions on the same day it was served. Of course, a failure to provide adequate prior
10
notice comprises a violation of due process.
11
“Adequate notice that sanctions are being considered is mandated by statute and the due
12
13 process clauses of the federal (US. Const., 14th Amend.) and state (Cal. Const., art. I, § 7)
14 Constitutions. [citations.]” (In re Marriage ofReese & Guy (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 1214, 1220.)
15
Thus, the sanctions orders are void and must be set aside.
16
B. Prior notice must specify the conduct for which sanctions are
17 sought, or else the notice is insufficient.
In her Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC) Statement filed 04-03-13, the subject matter
18
Petitioner described for which she wanted sanctions under Fam. Code, § 271 against Respondent, was
19
20 devoid of any gm conduct. Petitioner’s opening trial brief filed 04-20-13 contained both
21 specified and unspecified conduct, all of which the Court adopted as its reasons for granting
22
sanctions (FINDINGS AND ORDER RE ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS, p.3, 11. 3-8), which
23
unspecified conduct included: “The list goes on,” “repeatedly wasting time, disobeying explicit court
24
orders, and confiJsing simple tasks,” and “... engage in frivolous litigation and arguments with
25
26 additional costs,” among other things. (Petr.Tr.Br. p.15, 11. 4, and 19-22.) Objectively, this language
27 fails to recite “specific grounds and conduct for which the fees or sanctions are sought.” (In re
28
Marriage ofQuinlan (1989) 209 Cal.App.3d 1417, 1421-1422.). Due process requires "timely
5
notice, in advance of the grim issues [the party] must meet." (In re Gault, 387 US. 1, 33-34
(1967)). (emphasis added.) Nowhere in the section about sanctions of her MSC Statement, from p. 4,
l. 11 — p. 5, 1.6, is there a single instance of specific conduct set out. Amongst the toxic noise, she
just says that she wants sanctions against Respondent.
“The notice must [] advise of the specific grounds and conduct for which the fees or sanctions
are sought, and must be directed to the specific person against whom they are sought.” (In re
Marriage ofQuinlan (1989) 209 Cal.App.3d 1417, 1421-1422.) "Notice sufficient to enable a
meaningful response is an indispensable element of due process. (Rosenblit v. Superior Court (1991)
10
231 Cal. App. 3d 1434, 1445 [282 Cal. Rptr. 819]; 7 Witkin, Summary of Cal. Law (9th ed. 1988)
ll
Constitutional Law, § 518, pp. 715—716.)" (Gresher v. Anderson (2005) 127 Cal.App.4th 88, 109.)
12
13 Thus, due to its unspecified content for which Petitioner requests sanctions against
14 Respondent under Fam. Code § 271 , Petitioner’s MSC Statement did not comprise adequate notice.
15
Judge Zayner’s statement in the orders of 08-16-1 3 that adequate notice and an opportunity to be
16
heard were provided to Respondent is incorrect (FINDINGS AND ORDER RE ATTORNEYS FEES
17
AND COSTS, p.3, 11. 6-7.) There is nothing in the record to support his statement.
18
19 As a result of insufficient notice for sanctions under Fam. Code § 271, the sanctions orders of
20 08-16-13 are void and must be set aside.
21 C. Prior notice for sanctions must inform of the amount sought, or

else the notice is insufficient.
22
Prior notice for sanctions must include the amount sought, which Petitioner failed to provide
23
in her MSC Statement.
24
Petitioner did not provide sufficient notice of her claims for Fam. Code § 271 sanctions
25
26 because she did not provide, in advance, the amount she would seek as sanctions against Respondent.
27 The first time the amount she would seek at trial appeared anywhere, was in her opening trial brief,
28
6
filed and exchanged in the courthouse on 05/20/13. That was the first time Respondent learned of the
amount Petitioner was seeking at trial.
“Due process requires a defendant in a case involving a default judgment be given adequate
notice of the judgment that may be entered. [citation]” (Wiley v. Rhodes (1990) 223 Cal.App.3d 1470,
1472-1473 [273 Cal.Rptr. 279].) “[D]ue process entitles a tortfeasor to “‘fair notice of the severity
of the penalty that a State may impose.”’ [Citation.]” (Simon v. San Paolo U.S. Holding Co., Inc.
(2005) 35 Cal.4th 1159, 1171 [29 Cal. Rptr. 3d 379, 113 P.3d 63].) “[I]f punitive damages are to be
awarded in a default judgment, the defendant must be notified of the specific amount sought prior to
10
entry of the default.” (Heidary v. Yadollahi (2002) 99 Ca1.App.4th 857, 867 [121 Cal.Rptr.2d 695].)
11
A general allegation of entitlement to punitive damages is not reasonably calculated to apprise the
12
13 defendant of potential financial liability for punitive damages ifjudgment is taken by default. (Wiley
14 v. Rhodes (1990) 223 Cal.App.3d 1470, 1474 [273 Cal.Rptr. 279].)

15
Since there was no prior notice given showing the amount sought by Petitioner as Fam. Code
l6
§ 271 sanctions against Respondent, notice was necessarily insufficient, and thus the sanctions orders
l7
of 08-16-13 are void and must be set aside.
18
19
VI. The Fees Orders Are Void
The award of attorney’s fees in the amount of $75,000 suffers a similar fatal problem.
20
A. Inadequate notice was provided regarding fees, so the orders of
21 08-16-13 awarding Petitioner attomey’s fees are void
This issue is much like that with sanctions, discussed above. Petitioner had said in her MSC
22
23
Statement that she wanted fees. However, there was important new information regarding fees in
24 Petitioner’s opening trial brief, not found in her MSC Statement or any other place. In her MSC
25 Statement, Petitioner requested $50,000 in fees. In her opening trial brief, on the other hand, she
26
requested $165,785.12 in fees. These two amounts being significantly different, the MSC Statement
27
showing only $50,000 did not serve to put Respondent on notice as to his liability.
28
7
Since it did not provide a proper amount for liability, the MSC Statement was insufficient to
comprise sufficient notice. There are no materials in the record to show adequate notice was given to
Respondent setting forth an amount like or about the amount of fees Petitioner actually requested.
"[A] 'defendant is entitled to actual notice of the liability to which he or she may be subjected, a
reasonable period of time before default may be entered.’ [citation.]" (Parish v. Peters (1991) 1
Cal.App.4th 202, 216 [1 Cal.Rptr.2d 836].) With adequate notice not having been provided to
Respondent, the order awarding attomey’s fees of August 16, 2013 is void and must be set aside.
VII. flie Child and Spousal Support Orders Are Void

10
The child support and spousal support awarded to Petitioner in the Orders of August 16, 2013
11 cannot stand. The Court lacked jurisdiction to make those awards.
12 A. No support amounts could be awarded predating notice of a

motion or OSC to modify support. and since Petitioner failed to
13 serve notice of a motion or OSC, she was not entitled to the
awards of support granted to her in the orders of 08-16-13
14
“Generally motions under the Family Law Act, including motions to modify support in
15
marital dissolution proceedings, are governed by the rules for motions stated in the Code of Civil
16
Procedure. [citations.]” “Under the code, the moving party serves notice of motion upon adverse
17
18 parties. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1010.)" (In re Marriage ofMena (1989) 212 Cal.App.3d 12, 20 [260
19 Cal.Rptr. 314]; see also, CRC 3.] 112(a)(1).) “Where written notice is required by statute, actual
20
notice or actual knowledge is not its equivalent or a substitute therefor.” (Timmons v. Coonley (1918)
21
39 Cal App 35, 37, 179 P 429).
22
Since Petitioner provided no notice of a motion or OSC for modification to support to
23
24
Respondent in connection with trial or the hearing of 06-17~13, Petitioner was not entitled to any
25 modification of support. “[N]either the obligor nor the obligee is entitled to modification of support
26 amounts that predate notice to the other party of the filing of a motion to modify support. (§§ 3651,
27
subd. (c)(1), 3653, subd. (a); see In re Petropoulos (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 161, 174—175 [110 Cal.
28
8
Rptr. 2d 111].” (In re Marriage of Tavares (2007) 151 Cal.App.4th 620, 628-629.) Thus, Petitioner
was not “entitled to modification of support” at all. (Id.)
"[Petitioner’s] failure to serve [Respondent] with notice of the motion is the equivalent of
failure to serve summons and complaint, which renders a judgment void on its face and subject to
collateral attack at any time. (See Nagel v. P & M Distributors, Inc. (1969) 273 Cal.App.2d 176, 180
[78 Cal.Rptr. 65].)" (In re Marriage ofKreiss (1990) 224 Cal.App.3d 1033, 1039-1040 [274
Cal.Rptr. 226].)
For failure to serve Respondent with notice of a motion or OSC to upwardly modify support,
10
and because a Petitioner was not entitled to modification of support amounts that predate notice to
11
Respondent of the filing of a motion or OSC to modify support, the support orders of August 16,
12
13 2013 are void and must be set aside.
14 B. The trial court could not award that which neither 9%

requested
15 Neither party requested an award of child or spousal support. Of course, the court had no
16
authority to grant an award not requested by a party. Our Supreme Court has held “a default
17
judgment greater than the amount specifically demanded is void as beyond the court's jurisdiction.”
18
(CCP §580(a); Greenup v. Rodman (1986) 42 Cal.3d 822, 826 [231 Cal. Rptr. 220, 726 P.2d 1295].)
19
20 Where no amount of damages is demanded any amount awarded is by definition greater than the
21 amount demanded. (Petty v. Manpower, Inc. (1979) 94 Cal. App. 3d 794, 798 [156 Cal. Rptr. 622];
22
see also, Attorneys Guide to Damages (Cal CEB OnLAW), §1.13b.) “A marital dissolution court
23
cannot grant relief not demanded in the complaint against a defaulting party. [citation] -- no request
24
for child support...” (In re Marriage ofO'Connell (1992) 8 Cal.App.4th 565, 574 [10 Cal.Rptr.2d
25
26 334].)
27 In her Mandatory Settlement Conference Statement of 04/03/2013, regarding the upcoming

28
trial for which opening briefs were to be filed and exchanged on 05/20/2013 at the courthouse,
9
Petitioner confirmed in her statement of issues, “The parties have previouslyfiled a Stipulation and
Order on January 3, 2013, regarding child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal
W and such issues are therefore not before the courtfor purposes ofthis trial.” (Petr. MSC, p.
2, 11. 7—9; E_xh. B; emphasis added.) In her trial brief, Petitioner stated: “Procedurally, [the parties]
are managing the issues ofchild custody/visitation, child support, and spousal support separately.”
(Petr.Tr.Br. p2, 11.16-17.) (emphasis added.)
In his MSC Statement of 04—08-13 (E_xh. A), Respondent stated: “At the hearing of January 3,
2013, the parties agreed that neither would pay spousal or child support to the other. [1[] Respondent
10
agrees with the current support stipulation.” (Respondent’s MSC Statement, p.7, 11.22-24.)
11
Responsive to the Court’s query about a Motion to reduce support Respondent had filed on
12
13 11-13-12 (m. M), the following transcript excerpt from the hearing of 05/20/2013 (Eih. M),
14 confirms Respondent did not have an intent to pursue the Motion:

15
MR. FRAZIER (Respondent): So, this was my motion we're saying?
16
THE COURT: Right.
17
MR. FRAZIER: I'm a little confused I'm not pursuing that motion at this time.
18
19 THE COURT: this is a request that [to Ms. Ledgerwood] you wish to proceed
20 with, because [Mr. Frazier] you don’t want to, [to Ms. Ledgerwood] you don’t think it’s
21
appropriate to continue with the current support orders because of the evidence you wish to
22
present and the argument for imputation of income.
23
MS. LEDGERWOOD (Attorney for Petitioner): Correct. And it would be an exercise
24
25
I can do, but waste of time of the parties for me to file a separate motion just to keep it going.
26 I’m just utilizing what’s already there.

27
THE COURT: Okay. I understand.
28
10
As can be seen, Respondent was not pursuing his Motion for a reduction in support as of the
time of his MSC Statement (04-08-13) or the time of filing/exchanging opening trial briefs (05-20-
13). He did not make support an issue because, as he said, he was content with the status quo, and so
was n_ot moving on the issue of support.
Petitioner had not given notice of a motion or OSC, or filed a motion or OSC, for an upward
modification to support. Rather, somehow, she intended to use Respondent’s Motion for a downward
modification to support as her own application for orders for an upward modification to support. But
Respondent’s Motion of 11-13-12 (Jig. _M_) had been exhausted in connection with the downward
10
modification to support made with the stipulation and order of 01-03-13. She could not use her
11
adversary’s exhausted motion to get a modification to support where the motion requested a
12
13 downward modification and she was requesting an upward modification. If she did this and an
14 upward request were granted, as happened, the upward modification granted would be outside the
15
scope of the relief requested in the Motion, and that would be outside the Court’sjurisdiction.
16
Moreover, a motion to increase support is different and has differing characteristics from a
17
motion to decrease support. For example, “[a] motion to increase support has been held to put
18
19
modification in general in issue and authorizes the court ‘to either increase or decrease the payments
20 to meet the equities of the situation’ though the opponent has not formally requested a decrease.
21
[citation] A motion to increase support has also been held to ‘implicit[ly] ’ put in issue the duration
22
of support. [citation].” (In re Marriage of O'Connell (1992) 8 Cal.App.4th 565, 575 [10 Cal.Rptr.2d
23
334].) That a motion to increase support puts modification in general in issue (upward and
24
25
downward), implies that a motion to decrease support, as was Respondent’s Motion, does not put
26 modification in general in issue, so it could fly have supported an order modifying downward in this
27 case. Judge Zayner’s support orders of 08-16-13 modified upwards. Those orders could not be
28
11
based upon Respondent’s Motion because his Motion was incapable of supporting upwardly-
modifying orders.
As another example of a distinguishing feature between the two support modification types,
the burden of proof for a decrease in support differs from that for an increase in support. A party
seeking an increase in spousal support has the so-called “dual burden” of showing a change in
circumstances, which is more cumbersome than the burden for a party seeking a decrease in support.
Particularly, a party seeking an increase in spousal support has the “dual burden” of showing a
change in circumstances, m either of the following (Marriage ofHopwood (1989) 214 CA3d 1604,
10
1607; Marriage ofHoffmeister (1984) 161 CA3d 1163, 1172): (1) That his or her reasonable needs
ll
based on the marital standard of living were never met by the existing order when it was made
12
13 because the paying party lacked the ability to pay support at that level; or, (2) The supported party’s
14 needs have since increased because the party is no longer able to contribute to his or her support. The
15
dual burden is designed to protect the original order from collateral attack. (Marriage ofHofiineister
16
(1987) 191 CA3d 351, 364.) It prevents a party from obtaining an increase in spousal support just
l7
because the other party is now making more money when the amount ordered at trial was sufficient at
l8
19 the time to meet the needs of the supported party.
20 These exemplary differences are highlighted here to underscore that a request for a decrease
21
in support and a request for an increase in support are not identical. They are not fully
22
interchangeable, and they were not interchangeable for Petitioner’s purposes in this case. Thus, it
23
was improper for Petitioner to use Respondent’s Motion to downwardly modify support of 11-13-12
24
25
as an application for an order to upwardly modify support.
26 Additionally, Respondent’s Motion to modify support did not meet the requirements for
27 Petitioner to have a proper motion of her own for an upward modification to support adequately
28
12
noticed and before the Court for a decision. (California Rule of Court [CRC] 3.1 112.) Little, if
anything, about Respondent’s Motion to downwardly modify support met the requirements of a
motion to upwardly modify support.
The notice of motion must state in the first paragraph what relief is sought. (CCP § 1010;
CRC 3.1110.) Only the relief sought in the notice of motion can be obtained; the court carmot grant
different or greater relief than that specified. (People v. Am. Sur. Ins. Co. (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th 719,
726 [89 Cal.Rptr.2d 422].) Respondent’s motion to downwardly modify support did not state the
relief that Petitioner sought, as he never sought to modify support upwardly. (CRC 3.1112(d)(3).)
10
For that matter, Petitioner herself never stated in writing the relief she sought until her Supplemental
11
Declaration of 06-13-13 (E_xh. 1, p.1, 1.20-21), just four days before the hearing on 06-17-13.
12
13 Under section 1010, generally a motion notice must state "the grounds upon which it will be
14 made . . .” (§ 1010.) California Rules of Court, rule 3.1110 further states that a notice of motion must
15
"state in the opening paragraph the nature of the order being sought and the grounds for issuance of
16
the order." Only such grounds as may be specified in the notice of motion can be considered by the
l7
court in support thereof. (Mojave & Bakersfield R. Co. v. Cuddeback (1915) 28 Cal App 439, 152 P
18
19 943.) Respondent’s stated grounds in his Motion to downwardly modify support did not suffice as
20 grounds for Petitioner’s desired upward modification.

21
The notice must also describe the evidentiary support by setting forth the declarations or other
22
evidence upon which the motion is based. (CCP § 1010.) Most motions are based upon declarations
23
or other evidence in written form (CRC 3.1306(a)), and Respondent provided none on Petitioner’s
24
25
behalf or suitable for supporting her desired relief.

II. SUMMARY OF CASE
Immediately prior to Petitioner’s initiating the current action, the parties had well over a half
million dollars in cash or cash equivalents in two brokerage accounts (Exhibits A and B). The parties
had an oral agreement that $200,000 of the Schwab family trust money would be reserved for the
children’s education. For reasons that will become apparent, due to choices by Petitioner, the parties
now have almost no cash / cash equivalents.

10
Petitioner hired an attorney who consistently used highly aggressive tactics with questionable
ll
foundations in an attempt to influence custody decisions, such as attempting to inflate a benign
12
13 domestic situation into a domestic violence case. Petitioner spent upwards of $20,000 on a
14 “professional, confidential consultant” whose purpose and expertise was never explained (Exh. C).
15
Petitioner, without Respondent’s knowledge or consent, transferred $200,000 from the Schwab
16
family trust account to a new bank account of which he also had no knowledge (Exh. D). Petitioner
17
then launched, with no advance discussion or notice of any kind, an ex parte restraining order request
18
19 with insufficient supporting facts (Exh. E); pursuit of a full CLETS restraining order lasting more
20 than 7 months, then dismissed with prejudice; unyielding vigorous contesting of custody lasting more
21
than 18 months; repeated exaggerations and mistruths used in a hurtful, taunting manner (e.g.,
22
Exhibits F and G); taking complete control over the children and withholding of visitation for greater
23
than 5 months. All the while, Petitioner refused to reasonably discuss any of the situation, including
24
25
settlement.
26 Petitioner tried to have Respondent jailed twice for domestic violence; however, the police
27 found no basis for the allegations and did not even make a report. In addition, the parties’ custody
28

RESl?ONDENT’S MSC BRIEF

evaluator, Dr. Michael Kemer, “did not find domestic violence to have occurred in this family
system.” (Child Custody Evaluation Report RE FRAZIER, June 2, 2011, p. 6)
Facing potential loss of the children, and feeling the trauma the children were experiencing
while kept apart from their father, Respondent felt the stakes were too high not to spend money to
respond to Petitioner’s attacks. Adding further stress to the situation, Petitioner was on an unbridled
spending spree, topping $10,000 per month for many months (Exhibits C and H), and generating the
need for constant legal responses at crippling expense. Due to time constraints, Respondent
sometimes had to match her legal expenditures against claims he knew, and which have been shown
10
during the course of this litigation, to be meritless.
11
Respondent has paid $20,000 of Petitioner’s legal fees, with $10,000 being voluntarily paid
12
13 and $10,000 paid pursuant to an order of the Court, the latter ordered even though Respondent was at
14 the time unemployed and Petitioner was fully employed. Respondent was driven into self-
15
representation, while allowing Petitioner to make liberal use of her accountant and attorney, even
16
having her attorney generate plainly wasteful, frivolous work product. Respondent would certainly
17
prefer to have an attorney and accountant like Petitioner, but he carmot afford it as he has previously
18
19 shown. Petitioner’s attorney has already taken advantage of Respondent’s lack of knowledge in
20 family law and litigation, and Respondent is certain she will continue to do so.
21 On July 31, 2012, Respondent filed a motion against Petitioner where he seeks sanctions for
22
Petitioner’s uncooperative and unnecessary litigious conduct, and prevailing party attomey’s fees
23
related to the restraining order matter; and where he requests to modify downward any spousal
24
25
support as a sanction; requests reimbursement of the assets, including the aforementioned $200,000,
26 that Petitioner did not disclose and/or transferred in breach of her fiduciary duties; and requests that
27

Petitioner’s papers relating to her restraining order request, and Respondent’s reply papers, be sealed.
This motion is set to be heard at trial.
At a hearing pertaining to choice of their youngest daughter’s school on August 22, 2012,
Petitioner finally stipulated to joint legal and joint physical custody of the minor children with a fifty-
fifty timeshare. Had she agreed to Respondent’s requests and done this from the beginning, the first
year and seven months of this case could have been greatly compressed and conducted for a tiny
fraction of the actual cost (Exh. I). With the most important issue, the children, settled, the parties
moved their focus to financial matters.

III. DISPUTES ABOUT STATISTICAL INFORMATION
ll
A. DATE OF SEPARATION
12
In 2009, the parties experienced marital problems. An agreement stipulating a date of
13
separation (namely, September 20, 2009) was reached and memorialized in an email exchange (Exh.
14
J).
15
16 California law recognizes email agreements as valid written contracts. Lamle v. Mattel, Inc.,
17 394 F.3d 1355 (Fed. Cir., 2005) [Applying CA law, appeals court held that oral discussions that were
18
summarized in an email could satisfy the statute of frauds requirement that key terms of an agreemenu
19
must be in writing to be enforceable. If plaintiff can show at trial that such was the case, then there
20
was an enforceable contract]. California law further provides for electronic signatures. California
21
22
adopted a version of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) (see CC §§l633.1-1633.17),
23 which provides for the enforceability of electronic contracts. CC § 1633.7 provides:
24 (a) A record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is
25
in electronic form.
26 (b) A contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic
record was used in its formation.
27
28
(c) If a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law.
_4_
RESPONDENT’S MSC BRIEF

A-4

6-11-FL-005500
(d) If a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law. [Added by Stats.
1999, Ch. 428, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2000]
Here, Petitioner accepted the material term of the agreement (i.e., the date of separation being
September 20, 2009) by typing “OK” and further subscribed her note by pressing reply, which
process placed her name in the “FROM” line of her reply email. The comments to the UETA provide
that, “the mere inclusion of one's name as a part of an e-mail message” can qualify as an electronic
signature. (From Official Comment 7 to Section 2.)
The parties then went forward with marriage counseling, which they would not have but for
10 their agreement regarding the date of separation. This further evidences the acceptance by both
11 parties of September 20, 2009 as the stipulated date of separation. "A voluntary acceptance of the
12
benefit of a transaction is equivalent to a consent to all the obligations arising from it, so far as the
13
facts are known, or ought to be known, to the person accepting." See Melchior v New Line Prods.,
14
Inc. (2003) 106 CA4th 779, 131 CR2d 347; Norcal Mut. Ins. Co. v Newton (2000) 84 CA4th 64, 100
15
16 CR2d 683. It is clear under California law that an offer may be accepted by conduct on the part of an
17 offeree as well as by the offeree's words. See Windsor Mills, Inc. v Collins & Aikman Corp. (1972)
18
25 CA3d 987, 992, 101 CR 347; Russell v. Union Oil Co. (1970) 7 CA3d 110, 114, 86 CR 424.
19
Once the parties have agreed on the essential terms of an agreement in writing, there is a
20
contract even though they may still intend that a formal writing will be executed later. Harris v.
21
22
Rudin, Richman & Appel, 74 Cal.App.4th 299, 308, 87 Cal.Rptr.2d 822 (1999); see also Smissaert v.
23 Chiodo, 163 Cal.App.2d 827, 831, 330 P.2d 98 (1958) (where writing shows “no more than an intent
24
to further reduce the informal writing to a more formal one,” failure to follow with more formal
25
writing does not negate existence of prior contract).
26
In general, whether a writing (or an oral agreement) constitutes a final agreement or merely an
27
28
agreement to make a further agreement depends on the parties’ intent. In the absence of ambiguity,
-5-

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
the parties’ intent is determined by construction of the writing (or the parties‘ words) as a whole, and
the court's interpretation is governed by the parties’ objective intent as evidenced by their words, and
not their subjective intent. Elyaoudayan v Hoffman (2003) 104 CA4th 1421, 1430, 129 CR2d 41;
Beck v American Health Group Int'l, Inc. (1989) 211 CA3d 1555, 1562, 260 CR 237. Here,
Petitioner’s agreement to the stipulated date of separation is evidenced by her reply. That she also
agreed to obtain a more formal writing that would include that specific date does not negate her
agreement with the material tenn of September 20, 2009 as the date of separation.
In a further agreement prepared by Petitioner in September 2010 (Exh. K), she again set out
10
September 20, 2009 as a critical date. Particularly, Exh. K is a draft “Postnuptial Agreement” where,
11
in section III, Petitioner states that all earnings, salary, wages, bonuses or commissions received or
12
13 earned after September 20, 2009 shall be the separate property of each party. Once the parties agreed
14 on this essential term of the agreement in writing, there was a contract even though they may still
15
have intended that a more formal writing would be executed later. Harris v. Rudin, Richman &
16
Appel, 74 Cal.App.4th 299, 308, 87 Cal.Rptr.2d 822 (1999); see also Smissaert v. Chiodo, 163
17
Cal.App.2d 827, 831, 330 P.2d 98 (1958).
18
19
Typically to make a contract valid, consideration is required. However, pursuant to California
20 Family Code §850, no consideration is required to make a valid transmutation agreement.

21
California courts have held that a contract may be "in writing" (and within the four-year
22
statute of limitations) even though it was accepted orally or by an act other than signing. Amen v.
23
Merced County Title Co., 58 Cal. 2d 528 (1962); E.O.C. Ord, Inc. v. Kovakovich (1988) 200 Cal.
24
25
App. 3d 1194 [246 Cal. Rptr. 456]. In Amen, acceptance was shown where defendant prepared the
26 written agreement and unequivocally expressed its consent. (Amen, supra, 58 Cal.2d at p. 532.) In
27 E. 0. C. Ord, acceptance was shown where the party to be charged received a copy of the written
28
_ 6 _
A-6
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
agreement and then orally accepted its terms. (E. 0. C. Ord, supra, 200 Cal.App.3d at p. 1202.)
Whatever the manner of acceptance, the conduct of the party must be sufficient to be deemed an
acceptance of the terms of the writing itself. Here, in addition to preparing the postnuptial agreement,
Petitioner clearly told Respondent that she accepted September 20, 2009 as the date of separation.
In view of either or both of the above agreements, Respondent requests that the Court find a
date of separation of September 20, 2009.
B. LENGTH OF MARRIAGE
As a result of disagreement over the date of separation, the parties’ calculation regarding the
10 length of their marriage differs. Respondent calculates the marriage at 14 years, 5 months. Unless she
ll has changed her mind again, Petitioner’s date of separation is October 1, 2010, which leads to a
12
calculated length of marriage of 15 years, 5 months.
13
IV. SETTLED ISSUES
14
A. CHILD CUSTODY:
15
16 At the hearing on August 22, 2012, both parties stipulated to joint legal andjoint physical
17 custody of the minor children and a fifty-fifty timeshare. A copy of the stipulation is attached as
18
Exhibit L.
19
Respondent agrees with the current custody and timeshare stipulation.
20
B. SUPPORT:
21
22
At the hearing of January 3, 2013, the parties agreed that neither would pay spousal or child
23 support to the other.
24 Respondent agrees with the current support stipulation.

6-11-FL-005500
a) The Approximately $300,000 Severance Disbursement
Section 852(a) of the Family Code provides:
A transmutation of real or personal property is not valid unless made in writing by an
express declaration that is made, joined in, consented to, or accepted by the spouse
whose interest in the property is adversely affected.
Here, the express declaration was made in the Postnuptial Agreement prepared by Petitioner,
wherein she listed and marked as “Separate” the following “Property Type”:
Any award or settlement received as a result of a lawsuit or other court proceeding

10
before the execution of the Agreement (i.e., The severance disbursement from LIFE
ll
Technologies — net approx $300K) (Exh. K; See section III.A.7).
12
13
There is no known requirement that the writing needs to be signed. Nevertheless, once the
14
parties reduced this essential term of the agreement to writing, there was a contract even though they
15
16 may still have intended that a more formal writing would be executed later. Harris v. Rudin, Richman
17 & Appel, 74 Cal.App.4th 299, 308, 87 Cal.Rptr.2d 822 (1999); see also Smissaert v. Chiodo, 163
18
Cal.App.2d 827, 831, 330 P.2d 98 (195 8). The non-signing party's acceptance of the contract is

Signatures. California courts have held that a contract may be "in writing" (and within the four-year
23 statute of limitations) even though it was accepted orally or by an act other than signing. Amen v.
24 Merced County Title Co., 58 Cal. 2d 528; E.O.C. Ord, Inc. v. Kovakovich (1988) 200 Cal. App. 3d
25
1194 [246 Cal. Rptr. 456]. In Amen, acceptance was shown where defendant prepared the written
26
agreement and unequivocally expressed its consent. (Amen, supra, 58 Cal.2d at p. 532.) In E. 0. C.
27
0rd, acceptance was shown where the party to be charged received a copy of the written agreement
28
_ 8 _
Case Number

and then orally accepted its terms. (E. 0. C. 0rd, supra, 200 Cal.App.3d at p. 1202.) Whatever the
manner of acceptance, the conduct of the party must be sufficient to be deemed an acceptance of the
terms of the writing itself. Here, in addition to preparing the postnuptial agreement, Petitioner
repeatedly told Respondent that she accepted the term providing Respondent with the severance
payment (Exh. M) as his separate property.
B. SPOUSAL SUPPORT
Petitioner claims that for the period from her last known claimed date of separation (10/ 1/10)
through the date on which she took the children into hiding (incorrectly, Petitioner states this date as
10
1/31/11, when it is actually about 1/27/11), Respondent should have been paying support. Petitioner
11
argues that Respondent should pay over $32,000 in Petitioner’s pre-filing expenses as “equitable”
12
13 support.
14 Respondent has not been able to find any authority for the concept of “equitable” support as
15
put forward by Petitioner. The Court has no jurisdiction to award support for any time prior to the
16
date on which Petitioner first formally requested it.
17
Moreover, Petitioner is requesting “equitable” support for months while Respondent was
18
19 unemployed, yet at an amount approximately equal to that paid when he was fully employed.
20 Respondent was not employed as of October 1, 2010 and did not collect a paycheck until about mid-
21
December 2010. Respondent owes nothing to Petitioner during his months of unemployment, and
22
certainly not an amount equal to the amount he paid while fully employed.
23
Further, Respondent was fully supporting Petitioner during the short period between when he
24
25
collected his first paycheck in mid-December 2010 and Respondent’s filing of this action on January
26 26, 2011. Petitioner remained in the family home, for which Respondent paid all living expenses.
27 How then can she possibly expect to collect, according to an equitable theory, an amount of money
28
_ 9 _
A-9
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
equal to the full amount she received as guideline support after filing? In fact, Petitioner is asking to
have “equitable” support benefit her in the full amount of guideline support ph1_s the amount of
money that Respondent spent supporting her after he was paid by his new job until the filing of this
action. In essence, she is asking for double support for that period. Out of fairness, Petitioner should
not be permitted to have such double support.
Still further, Petitioner is trying to collect double support for a portion of late January 2011.
She is claiming that “equitable” support is owed for dates after she filed for divorce. As a matter of
fairness, Petitioner should not be permitted to collect both guideline support and “equitable” support
10
for the same time period.
11
C. 2009-2010 REIMBURSEMENTS OWED RESPONDENT
12
13 Respondent requests reimbursement of his 2009 and 2010 expenses ($36,751 and $25,479,
14 respectively), attached as Exh. N. To date, Petitioner has refused to pay these reimbursements stating
15
that the parties were married. It is bizarre that Petitioner would seek to collect “equitable” support for
16
the portion of 2010 that she asserts the parties were separated, yet she refuses to recognize
17
Respondent’s reimbursement requests for that same time period stating the parties were married. In
18
19 any event, given the date of separation is September 20, 2009, and Respondent used his separate
20 property funds to pay community expenses from that date up until 2011 (for which year Petitioner
21
has agreed to pay reimbursements), reimbursements are owed for that period. In re Marriage of

2. Sale of Cessna and division of accounts related to the airplane
Petitioner requests orders to sell the parties’ 2002 Cessna Skyhawk.
On average, the income of Looking Up LLC (the airplane rental business) has been enough to
cover the business’ expenses. Thus, any complaints by Petitioner that she carmot afford the airplane
and its maintenance are bogus. It is essentially costless to keep the airplane, but it is not costless to
sell it. The parties’ accountant has described how a sale of the airplane will result in a loss due to
taxes. The parties’ accountant states that it could cost $3 7,000 if the airplane were sold for $100,000
10
due to an accelerated depreciation recapture.
11
Additionally, the airplane has sentimental value for Respondent. It is the airplane in which he
12
13 earned both his private pilot's license and his instrument rating.
14 Respondent requests that Petitioner's request for orders to sell the airplane be denied. Should
15
Petitioner continue in her refusal to reasonably settle the issue, it is requested that the Court order her
16
to transfer her ownership interest to Respondent using a value equal to that which a private party
17
would obtain. Further, since a sale would involve a loss, it is requested that Petitioner be ordered to
18
19
reimburse Looking Up LLC for one-half of that loss (as Respondent will realize the full loss upon
20 disposition of the airplane).

21
3. Patent
22
The patent co—owned by Petitioner and Respondent should be governed by the patent laws of
23
the United States. The parties should be equally liable for post-grant expenses, including maintenance
24
25
fees. If a party fails to timely contribute to a maintenance fee due, then they should forfeit their
26 ownership in the patent.

RESPONDENT’S MSC BRIEF A-11
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1. Sale of the Family Residence
Petitioner has sought to have the family home sold.
Respondent wishes to remain in the family home for the benefit of the children. Kalista (11-
year-old) has said of her birth home on more than one occasion, “I love this place!” Respondent is
also deeply attached to the family residence —— his home of almost 11 ‘/2 years and the first home he
has owned.
VI. OTHER ISSUES
A. CUSTODY EVALUATION FEES AND COSTS [024]

10
Visitation could have been worked out early in this litigation. But Petitioner had other plans,
11
and took visitation into her own hands. With her newly minted restraining order, Petitioner suddenly
12
13 cut off all communication between the children and their father, yanking the children from their birth
14 home and taking them into hiding. When communication resumed some weeks later, Respondent
15
was put in the position of begging to see his small daughters as a favor to be granted or withheld at
16
the uncontrolled discretion of the Petitioner. In Petitioner’s hands, the restraining orders of the Court
17
became substantially equivalent to a complete termination of rights of visitation. Messer v. Messer
18
19 259 Cal. App. 2d 507 (1968).
20 Petitioner dragged this matter to a place where an evaluator was needed. But for Petitioner’s
21
defiant behavior, ignoring the order of the Court to settle the visitation issue, the cost of the
22
evaluation would have been dramatically less. In view of Petitioner’s misuse of the restraining orders
23
in using them to effectively terminate Respondent’s rights of visitation, and her refusal to negotiate in
24
25
good faith to resolve the visitation issue, Respondent request that the Court make Petitioner bear the
26 all costs of the custody evaluation.

4 STATEMENT OF FACTS
5 Kathleen Frazier m1d Jeffrey Frazier married on April 8, 1995 and separated on October 1, 2010.
6 They were married for 15 years and 6 months.
7 They have two children of the marriage: Kalista, age 10, and Lauren, age 7. The parties hav
s previously filed a Stipulation and Order on January 3, 2013, regarding child custody and visitation, chi!
9 support, and spousal support, and such issues are therefore not before the court for purposes of this trial.
10 The parties' community estate, including a family residence and retirement accounts, i
11 approximately $1.2 million dollars, inclusive of all outstanding debts or encumbrances.
12 ISSUES FOR TRIAL
13 I. PROPERTY DIVISION
14 Wife requests the Court order the community assets of the parties' be identified, characterized,
15 and divided in the manner outlined in the attached spreadsheets and as shown in the next paragraph
16 (*NOTE: Petitioner reserves the right to amend said spreadsheet upon receipt of further evidence). She
17 is asking the Court apply basic community property principles in dividing their assets, with an
18 equalizing payment incorporated to accomplish a fair and equal division of the parties' community
19 assets. Wife requests that the community assets be divided as follows:
20 a) Bank Accounts: Wife requests the divisions listed in Page 1 of the attached spreadsheet.
21 b) Stocks and Securities: Wife requests the divisions listed in Page 1 of the attached
22 spreadsheet.
23 c) Real Estate: With the exceptions noted below, Wife requests the divisions listed in Page 1 of

f) Retirement Acconnts: Wife requests the divisions listed in Page 3 of the attached
2 spreadsheet.
3 Not included in the attached spreadsheets are appraisal documents for the following assets:
4 Real property located at 14 Arastradero Road, Portola Valley, CA: Wife requests the
5 Court order the property sold, and the net proceeds divided equally between the parties.
6 2002 Cessna 1725 Airplane: Wife requests the Court order the property sold and the net
7 proceeds divided equally between the parties. The bank account associated with the Cessna
s shall also be divided equally.
9 Wife requests her separate property claims be awarded to her, and that Husband's separate
10 property claims that she stipulates to be awarded to him. Wife also requests that her reimbursement
11 claims and credits, as outlined in Pages 2 and 3 of the attached spreadsheet, be ordered as well.
12 Spreadsheets evidencing her separate property and reimbursement claims and credits are attached.
13 Both parties have submitted their Final Declarations of Disclosure on or near October 1, 2012, to
14 which all current appraisals, with the exceptions noted above, and updated account statements were
15 attached. The statements attached to Wife's Final Declaration of Disclosure shall be incorporated herein
16 by reference.
17 IL DATE OF SEPARATION
18 Wife request the Court find the parties' date of separation as October 1, 2010 for the purpose of
19 dividing the parties' community property assets and debts, and reimbursement claims and credits. On
20 September 9, 2010, Wife told Husband during a counseling session that she wanted to separate from
21 him. However, the parties continued to live at the same residence, carried finances the same, and even
22 attended a holiday party hosted by Husband's employer in December 2010, where the parties arrived as
23 a family with their children with their wedding rings on.
24 Pursuant to Family Code §771, the parties must establish that they are living separate and apart.
25 Sleeping in separate bedrooms, no longer having sex, seeing an attorney, or working on a draft
26 separation agreement are not substantial enough to meet the legal requirement. Because the parties were
27 living in the same home, carried on the same financially, and attended Husband's work event in
28 December 2010 as a family with their wedding rings on, the parties had not yet met the legal standard of
In re Marriage of FRAZIER
Case #6-Jl-FL-005500
B-3 3
PETITIONER'S MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT Case Number

6-11-FL-005500
living separate and apart as of December 2010. That standard was met after the holiday party, and more
2 accurately, once Wife was granted leave from the family residence with the minor children.
3 However, Wife requests that the date of separation be deemed October 1, 2010, given the events
4 that occurred following her statement of intention to Husband that she wished to separate. As Wife
5 decided the marriage was over by the end of September, and clearly expressed her decision to Husband,
6 the effect date of separation was October 1, 2010.
7 III.ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS
8 Wife requests the Court order Husband to pay attorney's fees and costs in the amount of
9 $50,000. This amount has been incorporated into Wife's reimbursement claims and credits as listed in
1o Pages 2 and 3 of the attached spreadsheet.
11 IV. FAMILY CODE §271 SANCTIONS
12 Wife requests that Husband's request for Family Code §271 sanctions be denied in its entirety.
13 On July 31, 2012, Husband filed a motion requesting sanctions in the amount of $80,000 against Wife.
14 Husband claimed that Wife filed a baseless ex-parte request for a restraining order in 2011, and did not
15 act in good faith during negotiations between the parties regarding visitation of the parties' children,
16 thus resulting in Husband losing significant visitation time with his children during the year 2011.
17 However, Husband failed to acknowledge that Wife's request for a restraining order was due to her
18 substantial fear that Husband posed a significant threat to the entire family. Husband's behavior at the
19 time of Wife's filing was erratic, unpredictable, and dangerous, and reminiscent of behavior he
20 previously had exhibited while using drugs. As a result, Wife was afraid for both her life and the
21 wellbeing of her children, and did have reasonable grounds for filing her ex-parte request, despite
22 Husband's assertions that it was entirely baseless. In addition, Wife did not unilaterally bar Husband
23 from having regular visits with the children. Husband himself did not make any significant efforts to
24 work with Wife to establish a mutually agreeable visitation schedule - another fact that he wishes to
25 deny by now placing the entire blame on Wife.
26 Wife requests that the Court instead impose sanctions against Husband on the grounds that
27 Husband's request is in itself a clear attempt to frustrate settlement and amicable negotiation. Wife asks
28 the Court to note that Husband waited more than 1 and Yz years after Wife's ex-parte request was filed
Case #6-11-FL-005500
B-4 4
PETITIONER'S MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT Case Number

6-11-FL-005500
and granted before even bringing his request for sanctions, indicating Husband's intent to stall or delay
2 any attempts to settle more pressing issues by placing focus on events in the past. Husband has .also
3 repeatedly refused to negotiate or make any attempts to discuss settlement, but instead proceeded to file
4 ex-parte motions and requests of his own, thus forcing the parties to litigate every issue. It is Husband,
s not Wife, who has impeded the settlement process, and he therefore should be subject to Family Code
6 271 sanctions.
7 CONCLUSION
8 Wife respectfully asks the Court grant her requests above.

15 Reply to Petitioner's Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC) Statement:

I. PROPERTY DIVISION
17
Respondent has annotated by hand Petitioner's spreadsheet for property division (Ex.h. 0).
18
19
a) Bank Accounts
20 Wells Fargo 9840 is the account that holds the operating cash for Looking Up LLC and
21 belongs to Looking Up LLC. The account should be valued as of the most recent statement date or
22
account balance to Petitioner's exit from Looking Up LLC, when the latter occurs. The most recent
23
account statement available is attached as Exh. P. When Petitioner exits Looking Up LLC, Wells
24
Fargo 9840 should be divided 50/50 between the parties.
25
26 b) Real Estate
27 The house should be valued at $1. 7M, per Petitioner's latest offer and agreement between the
28
parties, and Respondent permitted to buy out Petitioner's equity in the house on reasonable tenns.

Case Number
1 If a sale is ordered, it should be deferred until the youngest child is out of high school.
2 It is both children's birth home, and would be another emotional loss in their lives if sold. The
3
net cost for Respondent to move to another residence most certainly exceeds what it would cost him
4
to remain in the home.
5
c) Sale of Cessna and division of accounts related to the airplane
6
7 The plane has more hours on the engine now than it did at the time of the previous estimate.
8 The value of an aircraft goes down as the time between major overhauls goes down, and this aircraft
9
is closer to its next overhaul than it was as of the previous estimate. So, the aircraft is worth less than
10
$105,000.
11
d) Support Arrearages
12
13 Respondent is in agreement that his arrears once totaled $42,470, however, he has already
14 paid and agreed to be charged with the $30,000 withdrawal from the Charles Schwab account. This
15
leaves a total balance owed by Respondent to Petitioner in the sum of $12,4 70.
16
e) Deferred Comp Plan
17
Regarding Respondent's deferred compensation in the amount of $43,365, that amount net of
18
19 taxes is $32,051.88. The check was for $32,051.88, not $43,365. The amount of $32,051.88 shall be
20 divided equally between the parties. (Exh. Q).
21 f) Retirement Accounts
22
Petitioner has repeatedly tried to assign Respondent's separate property, E-trade Rollover I
23
7916, to herself, and she continues to do so. As this asset was acquired prior to the marriage by
24
25
Respondent, this account is Respondent's separate property.
26
27 II. DATE OF SEPARATION

28
- 2 -
C-2
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Petitioner argues a date of separation of October 1, 2010. Petitioner makes it especially
2 important for a date of separation here, that the parties attended a holiday party in December 2010
3
where, allegedly, they wore their wedding rings. To the contrary, Respondent removed his wedding
4
ring the day that Petitioner said she wanted to separate (namely, September 8, 2010), and he placed it
5
on a ring holder in a drawer, where it has stayed ever since. Exhibits R and S are views of a
6
7 photograph taken at the holiday party. There is no ring on Respondent's ring finger.
8 Petitioner indicates Respondent forbade her to leave the family residence, stating," ... once
9
Wife was granted leave from the family residence with the minor children." Quite the contrary,
10
Respondent never forbade Petitioner from leaving the family residence, and, in truth, joined her in
11
seeking a suitable residence. (Exh. T includes her communication with a realtor in which she
12
13 includes Husband with the decision-making.) There was absolutely no indication she would take the
14 children.
15
16
III. ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS
17
Petitioner requests $50,000 as fees. Respondent has previously paid $20,000 to Petitioner for
18
19 fees. Her ongoing liberal use of an attorney and forensic accountant while requesting Respondent to
20 foot the bills is baffling. Now, Respondent cannot afford his own attorney. He has not secured full
21 time employment since he was laid off in October 2012, while Petitioner enjoys the benefits of a full
22
time job, allowing her to pay for her team. To complicate matters, while Respondent is building his
23
own business, he has to spend substantial time with Petitioner's excessive litigation, resulting in lost
24
25
potential wages and time to build clientele.
26 Respondent requests the Court order Petitioner to pay attorney's fees and costs in the amount
27 of $20,000 to level the playing field.

2 IV. FAMILY CODE SEC. 271 SANCTIONS

3
Petitioner makes two arguments against being sanctioned in this matter. Petitioner states:
4
(1) Wife's request for a restraining order was due to her substantial fear that
5
Husband posed a significant threat to the entire family. Husband's behavior at
6
7 the time of Wife's filing was erratic, unpredictable, and dangerous, and
8 reminiscent of behavior he previously had exhibited while using drugs. As a

9
result, Wife was afraid for both her life and the wellbeing of the children.
10
This is the same vague, unsupported language that Petitioner rallied behind during the 7+
11
month restraining-order phase of this litigation, until she suddenly abandoned it when dismissing her
12
13 restraining-order request with prejudice at the last minute - making Respondent the prevailing party.
14 Adler v. Vaicius, 21 Cal. App. 4th 1770, 27 Cal. Rptr. 2d 32 (1993); Krug v. Maschmeier, 172 Cal.
15
App. 4th 796 (2009). Petitioner has never described, much less supported, anything at all in the
16
course of this litigation that would lead a reasonable person to fear for their life. Certainly, the
17
following emails of Petitioner do not indicate a person fearing for their life: Exhibits U, V, and W.
18
19 In his Report (Child Custody Evaluation Report RE FRAZIER, June 2, 2011, p. 6), Dr.
20 Michael Kerner "did not find domestic violence" and "did not find issues related to child abuse."
21 The second of Petitioner's two arguments against being sanctioned in this matter:
22
(2) Husband did not make any significant efforts to work with Wife to establish a
23
mutually agreeable visitation schedule.
24
25
Respondent can provide numerous emails supporting his substantial efforts for visitation that
26 were met with what Petitioner termed, "non-negotiable" requirements. Examples include her offering
27 visitation in the middle of Respondent's workday in a new job; requiring the rare visits be supervised,
28

1 and fo rcing Respondent to pay the supervisor' s ex penses; requiring an exchange service and after

3
Respondent' s weekly group exercise time and refusing to change the open time to Sundays. These

are onl y examples of humili ati ng, vindi cti ve actions Petitioner did to keep the Father and children

support as a sanction; (iv) requests reimbursement of the assets (including $200,000 cash) that
20
Petitioner did not disclose and transferred in breach of her fiduciary duties; and (v) requests that
21 Petitioner's papers relating to her restraining order request, and Respondent's reply papers, be sealed.
22 The July 31 motion was continued. Here, except for item (iii) above, Respondent reiterates the

8 SUMMARY
9 This action was instigated with Petitioner pursuing her scheme to make false claims of
10 domestic violence against Respondent, utilize the restraining order process to have him kicked out of
11
the family residence, confiscate the majority of the parties' assets, and gain sole custody of the
parties' children. Successful in Court to varying degrees, Petitioner took matters into her own hands
12
to get her way when it was not given to her.

13
Just prior to initiating this action, without Respondent's knowledge, Petitioner transferred
14
$200,000 cash from the Schwab community trust account to her secret bank account (Exh. A) to
15
which Respondent had no access. At no time did she inform Respondent of the transaction. Once
16 Respondent learned by happenstance of the cash transferand told Petitionerto return the money and
17 provide information concerning its whereabouts (includingthe account number), Petitioner refused to
18 return the money orprovide any information other than an acknowledgement that she took it2.
19
On January 27, 2011, Respondent began this litigation "guns a blazin'" with an ex parte, no
notice, request for a full CLETS restraining order3. Although failing in most respects,
20
notwithstanding "insufficient facts" noted by the Court4, Petitioner and her aggressive attorney
21
managed to obtain a temporary non-harassment order and legal custody5. The Court did not order
22
physical custody or visitation because as it noted, the parties were still living in the same house.
23
Petitioner then moved out of the house, taking the two minor children with her into hiding. She used
24
the illegitimately obtained TRO to withhold visitation between Respondent and the children until

TRIAL BRIEF
D-2
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 June 30, 2011 (over 5 months!). She encumbered the few offers of short visits with onerous,
2
unreasonable, "non-negotiable" terms and conditions (Exh. B), which she changed at her whim
when Respondent complied6. She further used the TRO to deny Respondent of legal decision-making
3
until the long-cause hearing of September 6, 2011.7 Petitioner had maintained the TRO for so long
4
not because of any domestic violence, but because the temporary orders where so highly effective in
5
ousting Respondent from the lives of the children.
6
Petitioner made no effort to resolve the restraining order issue for over 7 months,
7
notwithstanding Respondent's repeated requests. Finally, at the very last minute, Petitioner became
8 willing to stipulate to benign terms that did not come close to a restraining order of any kind. At the
9 outset of the long-cause hearing on September 6, 2011, suddenly and without explanation, Petitioner
10 proceeded to dismiss her CLETS restraining-order request, with prejudice.8
11
Petitioner's strategy and tactics in this matter shock the conscious. For example, she
suggested 50/50joint custody just prior to initiating this action, then vigorously contested such
12
custody arrangement for more than 18 months in litigation.9 She spent upwards of $20,000 ona
13
"professional, confidential consultant" whose purpose and expertise was never explained10. While
14
Respondent suffered emotional and financial fallout from her bogus restraining-order request,
15
Petitioner repeatedly taunted him with gross exaggerations and outright mistruths1'. Her false
16 accusations included child abuse during the custody phase of this matter12. When challenged to
17 substantiate her false statements, Petitioner provided nothing. All the while, Petitioner refused to
18 reasonably discuss any of the situation, including settlement.
19
No protection was needed, as evidenced by the following: (i) Custodyevaluaton Dr. Michael
Kerner, commenced his study in February 2011 that resulted in a June 2, 2011, evaluation report
20
based on 37 hours of interviews (including both parties, the children and collateral contacts), home
21
visits, documentreviews, and psychological evaluations. He concluded that he "did not find domestic

1 violence to have occurred in this family system"13; (ii) The police did not even generate a report
2
twice when Petitioner alleged domestic violence14; (iii) For many years preceding September 8,2010
(DOS), the parties attended couples counseling, and not once did Petitioner, nor the
3
therapists, mention anything akin to domestic violence15; (iv) No school counselor or teacher in either
4
school thechildren attended surfaced suspected domestic violence16; and, (v) nordid the children's
5
therapists during this litigation17. Even Petitioner raved to her friends howwonderful it was to have
6
Respondent at home (Exhibits C, D, and E).
7
Incredibly, nearly three months after obtaining the TRO, Petitioner continued refusing to
8 discuss settlement and insisted on having the resource-intensive, long-cause hearing (Exh. F).
9 Facing potential loss of the children, and knowing the trauma they were experiencing
10 (something they still speak of), Respondent felt the stakes were too high not to spend money to
11
respond to Petitioner's attacks. Adding further stress to the situation, Petitioner was on an unbridled
spending spree, topping $10,000 per month for many months18, and generating the need for constant
12
legal responses at crippling expense.

13
At a hearing on July 1, 2011, after over 5 months of fighting to prevent regular visitation,
14
Petitioner, for the first time, agreed to a minimal visitation schedule, but it was not until an August
15
22,2012 hearing, that Petitioner agreed to joint legal and joint physical custody of the children with a
16 50/50 timeshare. The first 19 months could have been greatly compressed and conducted for a few
17 tens of thousands of dollars19 in fees instead of the greater than $155,000 in fees20 (Exhibits G, H)
18 (greater than $195,500 total (Exh. I)) that it actually cost had she done this from the beginning as the
19
parties had agreed, or had she agreed to Respondent's requests and settled for this early on. More
importantly, the children would have been spared a tremendous amount of stress and change.
20
Petitioner could have left peacefully and not harassed Respondent with the full CLETS
21
restraining-order request, TRO, withholding of visitation, contested custody, etc. It was Petitioner's

8 Petitioner for frustrating the policy of the law to promote settlement and cost-savings, and to
9 encourage cooperation by, among other things, her misuse of the judicial process in order to gain a
10 legal advantage over custody and visitation of the parties' children.
11
Prior notice regarding Respondent's request for sanctions related to Petitioner's pursuit of a
CLETS restraining order was made in open court on August 22, 2011 in addition to written notice in
12
email and correspondence. Respondent's substantive and factual response to Petitioner's allegations
13
regarding the restraining order are set forth in Respondent's Answer to Temporary Restraining Order
14
filed with the Court on February 14, 2011 and Respondent's Supplemental Declaration which was
15
filed with the Court on March 4, 2011. Included in Respondent's Answer is an affirmative request
16 for attorney fees and costs, as well.
17 The cost of the litigation, especially related to the restraining order, escalated substantially.
18 Respondent has been forced to incur substantial and unnecessary attorneys' fees not only to prepare
19
for the long-cause hearing with evidence and witnesses on the restraining order itself (due to
Petitioner's last minute response to Respondent's request for a dismissal of the action) but also to
20
prepare multiple pleadings and declarations. Respondent also incurred substantial attorney fees
21
pursuing his custody and visitation rights at two contested hearings and expenses related to the
22
custody evaluation to prove that he is not a wrongdoer and does not pose any threat of harm.
23
24
I. Under Family Code 271. the Court can award attorney's fees as sanctions
25 A trial court may base an attorney fees and costs award "on the extent to which the conduct of
26 each party or attorney furthers or frustrates the policy of the law to promote settlement of litigation
27 and, where possible, to reduce the cost of litigation by encouraging cooperation between the parties
28
and attorneys." (§271, subd. (a).)

1 FC §271 "explicitly makes parties liable for the obstreperous actions of their counsel..." [In

Section 271 sanctions have been upheld for, e.g., misuse of the family law process and
meritless motions (In re Marriage of Falcone & Fyke. 164 Cal. App. 4th 814 (2008)), and litigating
4
the claim of spousal abuse in bad faith (In re Marriage of Battenburg. 28 Cal. App. 4th 1338 (1994)).

II. Respondent seeks sanctions be imposed against Petitioner for frustrating the policy of
7
the law to promote settlement and encourage cooperation
8 After receiving the findings of Dr. Kerner on June 2, 201121 and repeated requests that she
9 dismiss her restraining order request, Petitioner ignored such requests, and continued to engage in
10 behavior that only increased acrimony and expense. Petitioner's conduct is the exact type of conduct
11
that FC §271 is designed to sanction and deter.
Additionally, while it is not necessary for Respondent to show injury to obtain sanctions (In re
12
Marriage of Feldman. 153 Cal. App. 4th 1470, 1479-80 (2007)), Respondent was in fact injured. For
13
example, Respondent endured a long, drawn out battle to have a custody schedule in place in order
14
for him to spend quality, consistent time with his children. Before that, Respondent had to beg for
15
just a few hours every weekor two, at best, with his children, which was all that Petitioner was ever
16 willing to offer- always encumbered with unilateral demands such as supervision. Also,
17 Respondent's reputation in his small-knit community was tarnished by Petitioner's statements to
18 others about his being a perpetrator of domestic violence.
19
Based upon the finding of no domestic violence by Dr. Kerner, the lack of any evidence to
warrant the issuance of a restraining order, and Petitioner's last minute willingness to settle on terms
20
nowhere near being akin to a restraining order, Respondent requests that the Court issue sanctions
21
against Petitioner for exceptionally uncooperative behavior, pursuing a motion so as to frustrate the
22
litigation process (including settlement), and senselessly driving up the cost of these proceedings.
23
24
III. Petitioner is able to pay the requested amount which is reasonable
25 A court awarding attorney fees and costs as a sanction under FC §271 must consider "all
26 evidence concerning the parties' incomes, assets, and liabilities" and must not impose an

1 unreasonable financial burden on the sanctioned party. FC §271, subd. (a). In re Marriage of Fong,
2
193 Cal. App. 4th 278, 123 Cal. Rptr. 3d 260 (2011).
Petitionerhas an ample asset base. Petitionerrecently sold nearly $50,000 in stock. The
3
family home is set to be listed for sale by June 1, 2013 for a listing price of $1,795,000, which would
4
provide $830,482 in equity for the parties to split (i.e., $415,241 for Petitioner). Additionally,
5
according to the Judgment of April 17,2013, Petitioner shall receive an equalizing payment of
6
$20,000 from the sale proceeds. What's more, Petitioner unjustly took exclusive use of $200,000 in
7
cash in January 2011. Petitioner's income is substantial. Petitioner works in a salaried position as a
8 Senior Paralegal at Rocket Fuel Inc. earning $103,000/year, plus stock options (Exh. M).
9 For the above reasons, sanctions under Family Code §271 against Petitioner in the form of
10
attorney's fees payable to Respondent in the total amount of $80,000 is not only warranted, but
11
neededto deter Petitioner's misuse of legal process, excessive litigation, and uncooperative conduct.
12
REQUEST FOR PREVAILING PARTY ATTORNEY FEES RELATED TO TRO
13
Family Code §6344(a) permits the courtto award attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing
14
party in a restraining order matter. Since a dismissal was entered in Respondent's favor, Respondent
15
is the prevailing party in this case. Similar facts are found in Adler v. Vaicius, 21 Cal. App. 4th
16 1770, 27 Cal. Rptr. 2d 32 (1993) involving civil anti-harassment protection orders. (Despite claim by
17 Plaintiffwho had sought TRO that she was the "prevailing party" because she had obtained all the
18 reliefshe sought, a TRO against Defendant, Defendant was held to be the prevailing party dueto
19
dismissal with prejudice of restraining-order request entered in Defendant's favor) (See Krug v.
Maschmeier, 172Cal. App. 4th 796 (2009) ~ a winning defendant in a civil harassment proceeding
20
could be awarded attorney's fees in the discretion of the lower court.)
21
As the prevailing party in a restraining order matter, Respondent requests reimbursement of
22
his attorney's fees and costs in the amount of $80,000, pursuant to FC §6344.

RESPONDENT'S

TRIAL BRIEF
D-7
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 The rules governing a breach of fiduciary duty are set out in FC §§721, 1100, 1101 and 2102
2
FC §721 sets forth in relevant part the fundamental fiduciary duty between spouses: "[I]n transactions
between themselves, a husband and wife are subject to the general rules governing fiduciary
3
relationships which control the actions of persons occupying confidential relations with each other.
4
This confidential relationship imposes a duty of the highest good faith and fair dealing on each
5
spouse, and neither shall take any unfair advantage of the other. This confidential relationship is a
6
fiduciary relationship subject to the same rights and duties of nonmarital business partners... "
7
No other fiduciary duty exceeds this level. It requires a spouse to act with the "utmost good
8 faith" fin re Marriage of Reuling, 23 Cal. App. 4th 1428,1437-38 (1994)].
9
10 II. An Actionable Claim Against One's Spouse Lies Where There Is A Breach Of
11
Fiduciary Duty Which Results In Impairment To The Claimant Spouses Present
Undivided One-Half Interest In The Community Estate
12
An analysis of what constitutes a breach of a fiduciary duty depends upon an analysis of the
13
spouse's conduct to determine whether the extraordinary high standards set forth in FC §721 have
14
been breached. Two key questions are: (1) Was a spouse's conduct consistent with the highest duty
15
of good faith and fair dealing? and (2) Was the claimant spouse's interest in the community estate
16 impaired, or would it be impaired, by the other spouse's conduct? The heart and soul of what
17 constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty is found in FC §1101(a). This section provides that a spouse has
18 a claim against the other spouse for any breach of fiduciary duty that results in impairment to the
19
claimant spouse's present undivided one-half interest in the community estate, whether it is a single
transaction or a pattern or series of transactions.
20

III. Remedies Can Include From 50 to 100 Percent of Any Assets Undisclosed or
22
Transferred In Breach of The Fiduciary Duty. Plus Attorney's Fees and Costs
23
24
50 Percent ofAny Assets Undisclosed or Transferred, and Mandatory Attorney's Fees
25 FC §1101(g) specifies that the remedies for breach of a fiduciary duty "shall include, but not
26 be limitedto" an award to the other spouse of 50 percent or an amount equal to the value of 50
27
percent of any asset "undisclosed or transferred in breach of the fiduciary duty plus attorney's fees
and court costs."

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 The Court of Appeals for the Second Appellate District held that, under FC §1101(g),
2
attorney fee awards are mandatory when a party breaches a fiduciary duty by failing to disclose the
transfer of a community asset into a separate account. In re Marriage of Fossum. 192 Cal. App. 4th
3
336,121 Cal. Rptr. 3d 195 (2011). The court held that under FC §1101(g), a spouse's statutory
4
fiduciary duty of care arises "without reference to any wrongdoing" (citing In re Marriage of
5
Brewer & Frederici. 93 Cal. App. 4th 1334, 1344 (2001)).
6
7
100 Percent ofAny Assets Undisclosed or Transferred, and Discretionary Attorney's Fees
8 If the breach of fiduciary duty is found to be intentional or committed with actual fraudulent
9 intent, the legal ramifications are quite serious. FC §1101(h) provides that when the pertinent breach
10 of fiduciary duty falls within the ambit of CC §3294, the '[r]emedies ... shall include, but not be
11
limited to, an award to the other spouse of 100 percent, or an amount equal to 100 percent, of any
asset undisclosed or transferred in breach of the fiduciary duty,' and the family court has the
12
discretion to order the breaching spouse to pay the other spouse's reasonable attorney's fees and
13
costs. FC §1101(h); In re Marriage of Rossi. 90 Cal. App. 4th 34 (2001).

IV. Petitioner Intentionally and Fraudulently Transferred $200.000 Cash from the Parties'
16 Community Trust Account to Her Secret Personal Account. Refusing To Return the
17 Money or Provide Any Information Regarding Its Whereabouts
18 Petitioner intentionally carried outthe $200,000 cash transfer in secrecy22. At notime did she
19
inform Respondent of the transaction. Petitioner continued to conceal the whereabouts of the
community assets23, exhibiting a willful and conscious disregard of the rights of Respondent and
20
impairing his interest in the assets. Petitioner enjoyed additional earnings, such as interest, on the
21
$200,000, while Respondent was deprived of any such earnings. Petitioner's conduct constituted
22
'fraud' due at least to her intentional concealment of the transfer and whereabouts of the $200,000
23
cash with the intention on her part of depriving Respondent of property or legal rights. Moreover,
24
Petitioner has exhibited malice by her despicable conduct carried on with a willful and conscious
25 disregard of the rights of Respondent to the $200,000 cash, which rights are not in dispute.

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Petitioner's conduct has been oppressive as it has subjected Respondent to cruel and unjust hardship
2
in conscious disregard of his rights in, and urgent need for his share of, the $200,000 cash24.
V. Petitioner Intentionally Transferred the Lion's Share of the Parties, Cash to Her
4
Personal Account. Knowing It Would Disadvantage Respondent in the Impending
5
Dissolution Action
6
Petitioner may argue that she merely took about one half of the assets in the trust account,
7
leaving half for Respondent. However, the portion left for Respondent was mostly stock and
8 Petitioner vehemently objected to any stock sales by Respondent (even seeking sanctions against
9 Respondent when he did sell stock to pay his living expenses and attorney's fees!25'26). Why didn't
10 she transfer half the cash and half the stock to her personal account, vs. cash only, as she did? Being
11
the only one knowing that a dissolution action was about to be filed, Petitioner transferred only cash
becausethe person left with primarily stock (Respondent) would be at a disadvantage compared to
12
the person having all cash (Petitioner).
13
14
VI. Respondent requests that Petitioner be ordered to reimburse him for 100% of the value
15
of these assets and sanctioned for her conduct.
16 As Petitioner's reprehensible conduct in this series of breaches constituted at least one of
17 fraud, oppression, and malice within the meaning of CC §3294, Respondent requests a remedy
18 including an awardof 100 percent(or its equivalent) of the undisclosed / transferred community
19
assets. FC §1101(h). Particularly, Respondent requests $200,000, plus interest, for Petitioner's
breach of fiduciary duty with regard to Petitioner's clandestine transfer of $200,000 from the parties'
20
community trust account to her secret personal account. Respondent further requests an award of
21
attorney's fees and costs related to her breach of fiduciary duty.
22
In the event the Court does not find Petitioner's breaches fall within CC §3294 and §1101,
23
subdivision (h), Respondent requests, pursuant to FC §1101, subdivision (g), reimbursement of
24
50 percent of the undisclosed assets plus interest, attorney's fees, and costs.

REQUEST FOR ORDER - RECOVER CUSTODY EVALUATION FEES AND COSTS
Fees and costs for the custody evaluation were reserved.

3
In Petitioner's hands, the restraining orders of the Court were equivalent to a termination of
4
Respondent's rights of visitation. In re Marriage of Epstein, 24 Cal. 3d 76 (1979). But for Petitioner's
5
defiant behavior, the cost of the evaluation would have been dramatically less, if it were needed at all.
6
Petitioner has repeatedly, recklessly alleged drug abuse by Respondent27. In his report, Dr.
7
Kerner states that, "Mother's allegation and fears of Father abusing illicit drugs are unfounded." He
8 further comments that this"does not constitute a drug testing situation."28.
9 In view of Petitioner's reckless accusations, misuse of the restraining orders, and her refusal
10 to negotiate visitation in good faith, Respondent requests the Court have Petitioner bear all the costs
11
ofthe custody evaluation. Respondent paid $8,718 for the private custody evaluator.29 (Exhibit N)
12
REQUEST FOR ORDER - SANCTIONS BASED ON ACCUSATIONS OF CHILD ABUSE IN
13
A CUSTODY PROCEEDING
14
During the custody proceedingsof this matter, Petitioner accused Respondent of abusive
15
behaviors with regards to the children. For example, she stated:
16
• "... his unpredictable behavior has threatened our safety..."30
17 • "He has screamed at our children, unable to control his rage..."31
18 • "I am ... seeking protection for [the children] from Respondent's violent and unstable
19 behavior."32
20
Further, Petitioner alleged abusive behaviors towards the children in her interviews with
custody evaluator, Dr. Michael Kerner.33

Petitioner has provided no evidence to support such serious allegations. Respondent denies
22
ever abusing the children. Respondent has neverexhibited unpredictable behaviorthreatening the

RESTRAINING ORDERS, AND RESPONDENT'S REPLY PAPERS, BE SEALED

Respondent's rights and interests will be prejudiced if the documents relating to Petitioner's
15
restraining-order request are not sealed.
16 A. This Court Has the Authority to Seal Its Record.
17 California has a long-standing tradition of open civil proceedings. This applies with equal
18 force to family law cases, although trial courts may redact or seal particular documents to protect
19
private information concerning an overriding privacy interest. (NBC Subsidiary. Inc. v. Superior
Court. 20 Cal. 4th 1178 (1999) (NBC Subsidiary); In re Marriage of Burkle. 135 Cal. App. 4th 1045

21
California Rules of Court 2.550 and 2.551 concern sealed records. Rule 2.550(d) details the
22
express factual findings required before a court can seal or unseal court records: "(1) There exists an
23
overriding interest that overcomes the right of public access to the record; (2) The overriding interest

1 B. Respondent's Interests in Privacy and Reputation Override the Public Interest in
2
Disclosure
As discussed below, the interests served by sealing the court record override public access.
3
4
Invasion of Privacy
5
The overriding interests discussed below are largely privacy-based (See, Statev. Cottman
6
Transmission. 542 A.2d 859, 864 (1988) ("interests compelling enough to overcome the presumption
7
of openness usually take the form of a privacy right")).
8 It is noted that the statements at issue here involve private individuals and matters of private
9 concern. As one Californiaappellate court has acknowledged, M[s]ince the statements at issue here
10 involved a matter of purely private concern communicated between private individuals, we do not
11
regard them as raising a First Amendment issue. 'While such speech is not totally unprotected by the
First Amendment, its protections are less stringent' [than that applying to speech on matters of public
12
concern]." (Savage v. Pac. Gas & Elec. Co.. 21 Cal. App. 4th 434, 445 (1993) (26 Cal.Rptr.2d 305),
13
quoting Dun & Bradstreet. Inc. v. Greenmoss Builders. Inc.. 472 U.S. 749, 760 (1985) (105 S.Ct.
14
2939, 86 L.Ed.2d 593), internal citation omitted.)
15
Medical Information
16 The California Constitution guarantees all people certain inalienable rights, among them the
17 right of "pursuing and obtaining ... privacy." (Cal. Const, art. I, § 1) The right of privacy extends to
18 information in an individual's medical records, information about his or her physical and mental
19
condition, and information in his or her medical history. (John B. v. Superior Court. 38 Cal. 4th 1177,
1198-99 (2006); Hill v. Nat'l Collegiate Athletic Ass'n. 7 Cal. 4th 1, 41 (1994); Bd. of Med. Quality
20
Assurance v. Gherardini. 93 Cal. App. 3d 669, 678-79 (1979).

21
Various statutory enactments demonstrate that "established social norms" protect the
22
privacy of confidential medical records. In 1981, the California Legislature enacted the
23
Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. [1981 Cal. Stat. 782, § 1 (codified as amended at Cal.
24
Civ. Code §§ 56-56.37)]. One of the more well-known federal privacy-related acts is the Health
25 Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). These are but a couple of the numerous
26 protections afforded individuals' private medical information.

TRIAL BRIEF
D-13
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Another overriding interest is that against the public disclosure of private facts. "Private facts
2
thathave absolutely no impact on the public may be of devastating importance to the parties who
want to protect those facts from public knowledge." 17 J. Am. Acad. Matrimonial Law. 107 (2001).
3
Petitioner's invasion of Respondent's privacy interests was unexpected and contrary to

4
established social norms. Respondent's reasonable expectation of privacy vis-a-vis Petitioneris
5
noteworthy. Two people who are married to each otherare in a fiduciary relationship. As part of that
6
relationship, there is a legal obligation not to disclose confidential information to a third party and not
7
to use confidential information for personal advantage. Communications between spouses, privately
8 made, are generally assumed to have been intended to be confidential. See Wolfle v. United States.
9 291 U.S. 7, 54 S. Ct. 279, 78 L. Ed. 617 (1934) (internal citations omitted); Blau v. United States.
10 340 U.S. 332, 71 S. Ct. 301, 95 L. Ed. 306 (1951).
11
None of Petitioner's personal factual disclosures about Respondent have any social value;
they are not newsworthy; they extend deeply into Respondent's private life; and, Respondent has
12
never consented to publicity. The public has no legitimate interest in the objectionable statements.
13
This is particularly true since Petitioner never substantiated her request for restraining orders and
14
even dismissed her request with prejudice.
15
False Light / Defamation
16
As an invasion of privacy claim, a plaintiff must show that a defendant made statements
17 placing him in a false light that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. (Fellows v. Nat'l
18 Enquirer. Inc.. 42 Cal. 3d 234,238-39 (1986)) "Defamation is an invasion of the interest in
19
reputation." Smith v. Maldonado. 72 Cal. App. 4th 637, 645 (1999). Not only are direct, false
20
accusations and charges of misconduct wrong, California courts have held that descriptive words or
opinions that carry with them the implication of acts of misconduct are actionable. See, e.g.,
21
Maidman v. Jellish Publ'ns. 54 Cal. 2d 643 (1960).
22
Respondent has been portrayed in a false light and endured damage to his reputation in the
23
parties' tight-knit community as a result of Petitioner's portrayal of him as a domestic violence
24
offender to friends and acquaintances. He has been shunned and avoided, as described in his
25 Declaration36.

1 The Public Interest in Disclosure Must Be a Legitimate One
2
As the Supreme Court stated in Bartnicki v. Vopper, 532 U.S. 514 (2001), privacy concerns
give way to First Amendment rights only when there is a legitimate public concern at stake.
3
It is simply not realistic that the public could have a legitimate interest in a private family
4
matter involving private individuals, where the matter involves false statements, private facts,
5
defamatory statements, and unproven accusations that have been dismissed with prejudice.

7
The Common Law Right of Access is not Absolute
8 In Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns, Inc.. 435 U.S. 589, 591 (1978) the Supreme Court declared
9 that the common-law right of access was "not absolute" and listed situations where access may be
10 denied. Nixon. 435 U.S. at 598. For example, use of court files for improper purposes such as: (1)
11
where there is "publication of'the painful and sometimes disgusting details of a divorce case1"
(emphasis added) (quoting In re Caswell. 29 A. 259 (R.I. 1893)); and, (2) where publications contain
12
libelous statements.

14
The Proposed Sealing Is Narrowly Tailored and No Less Restrictive Means Exist
15
Respondent's request to have Petitioner's Declaration and Opposition Declaration, and his
16 Responsive Declaration and Supplement Declaration placed under seal meets the factual findings
17 required before a court can seal or unseal court records. For example:
18 • (1) There existsan overriding interest in Respondent's constitutionally-mandated right to
19
privacy. Further, there exists an overriding personal interest in his reputation. The interest in
protecting one's reputation is particularly strong for private persons in private matters. These
20
interests overcome the right of public access.

21
• (2) The overriding interests support sealing the record. If the information sought to be
22
protected is not sealed, Respondent's constitutional right to privacy will be meaningless. Similarly, if
23
the defamatory statements are not sealed, it is probable that Respondent will be further defamed.
24
• (3) A substantial probability exists that these overriding interests will be prejudiced if the
25 record is not sealed, because Respondent will lose the constitutional right to privacy in the disclosed
26 information. If the records are not sealed, Respondent will have no way to protect his reputation
27 from on-going damage due to Petitioner's public disclosures.

1 • (4) and (5) The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored and no less restrictive means exist to
2
achieve the overriding interest of his right to privacy in the disclosed information. Due to the public
disclosure of confidential information and defamatory statements throughout these papers, there is no

other tailoring that would adequately protect Respondent's rights and interests.

FINAL REMARKS RE SEALING
6
Specific objectionable materials are identified in Respondent Jeffery Frazier's Declaration in
7
Support of Request for Order Re: Modification of Child Support and Spousal Support, and Sanctions
8 in the Amount of $80,000, dated July 31, 2012, incorporated herein by reference.
9 Respondent has been falsely accused of domestic violence. This court granted temporary
10 relief to the accuser. Going forward, persons accessing the court records will be left with, at a
11
minimum, a question in their minds as to whether or not Respondent is a perpetrator of domestic
violence. By this, at least, it is probable that Respondent's reputation will be tarnished and he will be
12
seen in a false light. Among others, potential employers, clients, and eventually the children may
13
access the materials. Without the relief requested herein, it is probable that Respondent's
14
constitutional privacy interests and his right to protect his reputation will be seriously prejudiced.
15
Respondent could not possibly find those persons that would access the court records and rehabilitate
16 his reputation. Respondent could not expel those that would intrude upon his privacy interests.

E-1
PETITIONER'S TRIAL BRIEF PURSUANT TO 4/17/2013 COURT ORDER Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 STATEMENT OF FACTS
2 Kathy and Jeff married on April 8, 1995 and stipulated to a separation date of October 1, 2010
3 They were married for 15 years and 6 months. They have two children of the marriage: Kalista, age 11
4 and Lauren, age 7.
5 Kathy filed for dissolution of marriage on January 26, 2011, as well as ex parte temporary
6 restraining orders, which was partially granted. Kathy attempted to attend mediation with Jeff, but soon
7 learned that mediation was not yet the appropriate forum for their divorce. Since then, the parties have
8 been heavily engaged in litigation. Kathy initially retained attorney Rebekah Frye, and was represented
9 by her into September 2011. In September, 2011, attorney Nedda Ledgerwood became Kathy's attorney
10 of record. Ms. Ledgerwood is still Kathy's attorney.
11 Jeff retained attorney John Ferrera, who was his attorney through May 2011. In May 2011,
12 attorney Natalie Daprile became Jeffs attorney of record. Ms. Daprile was substituted out in December
13 2012, at which timeJeff no longer maintained legal counsel for this matter.
14 Between Ms. Ledgerwood, Mr. Jack Peth (Kathy's forensic accountant), Kathy, Jeff, and the
15 Court's Pro Tern system, the parties were able to reach an agreement and submit for Judgment on
16 4/17/2013 the issue of property division. Procedurally, they are managing the issues of child
17 custody/visitation, child support, and spousal support separately.
18 However, in the 4/17/2013 Judgment, the parties agreed to submit by the pleadings the issue of
19 attorney's fees, costs and sanctions. At the 4/17/2013 MSC, the Court ordered the parties to submit said
20 pleadings by or before the hearing set for May 20, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 82 before the
21 Honorable Theodore Zayner. The Court did not require the parties to file current Income and Expense
22 Declarations, nor did the Court require the parties to file current judicial council forms and/or further
23 pleadings for the purpose ofthis request for attorney's fees, costs, and sanctions.
24 A. Income of the parties:
25 The below spreadsheet is an assessment ofthe respective incomes of each party, the information
26 from which was derived from many of the parties' filed Income and Expense Declarations withthe
27 Court. It shows that Jeff has earned significantly more than Kathy, and during periods in which she
28 earned no income, he paid nothing toward her attorney's fees and costs.

1 Simply stated, at all times Jeff has earned significantly more than Kathy.
2 Based on the calculations of Mr. Jack Peth in reviewing the parties' respective gross incomes,
3 Jeffshould pay at least 84% of Kathy's litigation expenses (Exhibit A). This is based on what the
4 parties have earned in income, paid and incurred in attorney's fees and coststhrough October 2012 (an
5 update was not possible). Throughout litigation, they have evidently notbeen onequal footing in ability
6 to pay their own litigation fees and costs. Please note that Mr. Petri's spreadsheet only includes fees
7 incurred after October 2012.
8 a. Kathy's Fees and Costs (Exhibit B):
9 Kathy has paid and owes the following fees and costs:
10 1. Rebekah Frye $88,065.45 2011 fees Kathy paid. In 2011 Jeffpaid $0 in fees toKathy, while she
11 earned $0 and Jeff earned $285,847. Funds to pay her attorney came
12 from the parties'joint Schwab account, and those funds were allocated
13 and charged to Kathy for non-attorney fee purposes and instead wentto
14 children expenses, their education, and basic living needs.
15 2. Nedda Ledgerwood $43,000 September 2011 through the current date fees paid. $20,000 ofthese fees
16 paid byJeff($10,000 in December 2011 by agreement and $10,000 by
17 Court order in November 2012).
18 3. Nedda Ledgerwood ($14,320.81) Kathy owes this amount toMs. Ledgerwood. She owes a further retainer
19 of $5,000.
20 4. Costs $42,976.98 Kathy paid Court runner fees, court filing fees, copy costs, subpoenas,
21 forensic accounting fees, custodyexpert fees, consulting attorney and
22 expert fees). Please note that additional funds should be included in
23 costs, but obtaining an accounting of those costswas not possible by the
24 May 20, 2013 deadline.
25 5. Jack Peth ($9,953.75) Kathy owes this amount to Mr. Peth.
26 TOTAL PAID: $173,088.68
27 AMOUNT OWED: +24,274.56 (to Nedda Ledgerwood and Jack Peth)
28 TOTAL INCURRED: $197,363.24
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-4
6-11-FL-005500
Kathy anticipates additional fees and costs for the issues of child custody and visitation, aswell
2 as child and spousal support. If Jeffcooperates reasonably with Kathy, then additional fees should not
3 exceed $1,000.
4 However, If Jeff does not cooperate, then Kathy will spendat least an additional $10,000 in
5 order to litigate, prepare for hearing, appear at a hearing, communicate back and forth with opposing
6 party, and conduct any other action necessary to achieve orders for Kathy onopen issues inthis case,
7 one of which is imputation of income to Jefffor the purpose of child and spousal support.
8
9 b. Jeffs Fees and Costs:
10 In his Income and Expense Declaration filed on November 13, 2012, Jeff states he has paid
11 $127,909 in attorney's fees ($13,500 to his initial attorney and $114,409 to Natalie Daprile, Esq.). This
12 amount does not include what he has paid in costs (expert fees, court fees, appraisals, co-parent
13 counseling, etc.). In order to comport with the principles and policies of the Family Code, it is
14 appropriate for the Court to order that Jeff pay 84% ofKathy's fees based on the facts identified above.
15 Jeff has also paid, per verbal agreement, Kathy's expert, Mr. Peth, $442.40 on April 8,2013. Jefi
16 agreed to pay Mr. Peth for time Jeff used to further understand Mr. Peth's accounting. There were
17 multiple other meetings and hearings in which Mr. Peth prepared for and was present. Without the
18 assistance of Mr. Peth, the parties would nothave reached settlement on 4/17/2013.
19
20 c. Source of liquid funds from which attorney's fees, costs and sanctions are available:
21 The April 17, 2013 Judgment provides that the family residence located at 14 Arastradero Road
22 in Portola Valley shall be listed for sale by June 1, 2013. Thus, it is from the anticipated equity proceeds
23 from which the Court may grant fees, costs, and sanctions.
24 The parties agreed to list the property for $1,795,000, and with a mortgage ofroughly $892,000
25 against it, that leaves at least $815,000 in equity ($903,000 less estimated cost of sale of $88,000 =
26 $815,000). There is no question that the property will sell in the current real estate market. The
27 assumption is that the property will sell for above the asking price, but at the least, the parties stand to
28
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-5
6-11-FL-005500
A"
each receive $407,500 (one-half of $815,000). This shows Jeff will have liquid fund available to pay
2 Kathy's reasonable attorney's fees and costs, as well as sanctions.
3 The Court may note that per their 4/17/2013 Judgment, the parties agreed to retain $150,000
4 from the sale proceeds in a trust account pending a later determination of attorney's fees, costs, and
5 sanctions. The purpose ofretaining these funds was to allow the Court to use at least these funds to pay
6 one side or the other reasonable attorney's fees and costs, as well as sanctions, based on the history of
7 this case. The Court is not limited to only the $150,000 in awarding attorney's fees, costs and sanctions.
8 It is merely another option for the Court to use inmaking its decision.
9
10 ARGUMENT
11
12 1. ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS
13 In applying the facts outlined above, Kathy requests the Court order Jeffto pay 84% of her
14 reasonable attorney's fees and costs pursuant to California Family Code §2030 et. seq. and applicable
15 case law.
16 A. Kathy is entitled to fees pursuant to Family Code §2030.

17
The purpose ofa §2030 fee award is to ensure "parity between spouses in their ability to obtain
18 legal representation." Hogoboom &King, Cal. Prac. Guide: Family Law (The Rutter Group 2008)
19 1(14:155. The Court's decision on arequest for §2030 fees must be based on (1) an assessment ofthe
20
parties' respective income and needs, (2) whether there is adisparity in their respective access to funds,
21
and (3) whether one party is able to pay for legal representation ofboth parties. Id Ultimately, afee
22 award must be "just and reasonable" under the "relative circumstances" (need and ability to pay) ofthe
23
respective parties. 14 (parenthetical added). Family Code §2032 makes clear that the parties' "relative
24 circumstances" must reflect consideration ofall available sources from which fees could be paid (i.e. the
25 parties' community property, separate property, principal or income). IcL at 1(14:165. Finally, inquiry
26 into the parties' relative circumstances must be made to the parties' present need and ability to pay. Id

^
1 a. Kathv's Income
2 During the three years of 2009 to 2011, Kathy did not earn any income. When Kathy first
3 filed for divorce in January 2011, she had absolutely no income, and received nothing towards her
4 attorney's fees. But in December 2011, Jeffagreed to pay $10,000 towards Kathy's attorney's fees and
5 costs. But this amount is negligible compared to what Kathy and Jeff have occurred, and with him
6 historically earning significantly more than Kathy, the Court may order him to pay 84% ofher
7 reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
8 Kathy only began working again in 2012 atvarious temporary positions, first as a Business
9 Development Manager for Pro Unlimited Inc., and later as a Contracts Manager for Barnes and Noble.
10 These positions were all part-time, and only on aconsulting basis. As a result, her income fluctuated
11 constantly depending on the number ofhours ofwork she was able to get, with her average gross salary
12 ranging anywhere from approximately $450 per month (see Petitioner's Income and Expense
13 Declaration filed 4/11/2012), to $2,296 per month (see Petitioner's Income and Expense Declaration
14 filed 10/3/12). It was not until October 2012 that she began working full-time atRocket Fuel, Inc.,
15 where she currently earns a gross monthly income ofapproximately $8,583 permonth (See Petitioner's
16 Income and Expense Declaration filed 12/19/2012).
17 With regard to spousal support payments, Kathy has not received regular, consistent payments
18 ofspousal support since the summer of2012. Pursuant to the Stipulation and Order filed July 1,2011,
19 Jeff was ordered to pay Kathy $4,657 permonth inspousal support, including arrears dating back to
20 January 26, 2011 when Kathy first initiated dissolution proceedings. Jeff was later ordered to pay Kathy
21 $2,868 per month pursuant to the parties' stipulation entered on the record on August 22, 2012.
22 However, Jeffs payments towards Kathy's spousal support were very irregular and varied greatly from
23 month to month (see Petitioner's Income and Expense Declaration filed 4/11/2012 atpage 2, line "e";
24 see also Petitioner's Income and Expense Declaration filed 10/13/12 at page 2, line "e"). Because Jeff
25 has chosen to work for himself, he has not beenworking to his potential, and his earnings havebeen
26 significantly less than how much he can make. By stipulation and pending further hearing, Jeff has not
27 paidany support to Kathy since December 2012.
28 Kathy has also not gained substantial liquid assets from the division ofthe parties' community
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-7
6-11-FL-005500
1 property to allow herto pay for herown fees. Funds from the joint Schwab account, in which they
2 had over $400,000, has been liquidated and charged to both parties for non-attorney fee purposes.
3 Numerous assets awarded to Kathy have no cash value, specifically the three Bank of America
4 accounts that all have a current balance of $0, or are not liquid assets that Kathy can easily sell to pay for
5 her attorney's fees. Further, her anticipated receipt of certain assets, such as the money inthe Wells
6 Fargo Looking Up LLC account, the proceeds from the house sale, and the proceeds from the sale ofthe
7 Cessna airplane, is contingent upon certain events occurring first, all of which require active steps on
8 Jeffs part. Thus, even with the division ofthe parties' assets, Kathy does not have sufficient liquid
9 assets to pay for her significant amount ofattorney's fees and costs, and there remains a significant
10 disparity between the parties' respective incomes and ability to pay for attorney's fees. Itis not
II justifiable that Jeff can afford legal representation during times when Kathy cannot. To order otherwise
12 shirks the principles set forth inthe California family code and applicable case law.
13
14 b. Jeffs Income
15 Jeffis anintellectual property attorney and until October 2012, was the Vice President of
16 Intellectual Property for Kateeva, Inc., where he earned an average gross salary of $225,000 per year.
17 He currently earns substantial additional income from self-employment as a legal consultant, rental of
18 various rooms inthe parties' Portola Valley residence, and renting his airplane. (See Respondent's
19 Income and Expense Declaration filed 11/13/12) Prior to his employment with Kateeva, Inc., Jeff was
20 working for Life Technologies and earned an average gross salary of$395,006 per year.
21
22 Acomparison ofJeffand Kathy's respective incomes from 2009 to present clearly reveals Kathy
23 has had no income both prior to the parties' separation and during the majority ofthis dissolution
24 proceeding. Only recently has Kathy began to earn income. This clearly demonstrates a "disparity in
25 access to funds," as defined under California Family Code §2030, and also signifies Jeffs ability to pay
26 Kathy's fees and her reasonable need for him to contribute to her fees. The Court may order Jeff pay
27 toward Kathy's attorney's fees and costs in order to allow for parity between the parties.

1 Jeffmay argue that he does not have an attorney at the moment because he cannot afford one.
2 However, Jeff is a licensed Californiaattorney and made the independent choice to represent himselfin
3 December 2012. His decision to representhimselfcannot be viewed as anything but an independent
4 choice, as opposed to any inability to afford an attorney.
5 In conclusion, the substantial disparity in eachparties' access to funds, Jeffs higher earnings
6 than Kathy, Jeffs ability to pay Kathy's attorney's fees, and Kathy's need for hishelp to pay toward her
7 fees, demonstrates that Kathy is clearly entitled to attorney's fees pursuant to the terms of California
8 Family Code §2030 and applicable case law.

10 2. FAMILY CODE S271 SANCTIONS
11 Jeff is subject to §271 sanctions because his conduct actively frustrated settlement and
12 hindered cooperation between the parties, resulting in substantial unnecessary fees and costs.
13 The Court may base an attorney fees and costs award "tothe extent to which the conduct ofeach
14 party orattorney furthers orfrustrates the policy ofthe law to promote settlement oflitigation and,
15 where possible, to reduce the cost oflitigation by encouraging cooperation between the parties and
16 attorneys." Family Code §271 (a). Family Code §271 imposes a minimum level ofprofessionalism and
17 cooperation to effect the policy favoring settlement offamily law litigation—and a reduction ofthe
18 attendant costs. In re Marriage of Davenport, (2011) 194 Cal. App. 4th 1507, 1524. Litigants who flout
19 that policy by engaging inconduct that increases litigation costs are subject to imposition ofattorney
20 fees and costs as a section 271 sanction. In re Marriage of Corona (2009) 172 Cal.App.4th 1205,1225.
21 Section 271 authorizes sanctions to advance the policy of promoting settlement of litigation and
22 encouraging cooperation of the litigants and does not require any actual injury. Davenport at 1524. The
23 fee award pursuant to this section is in the nature ofa sanction. Family Code §271(a).
24 In the instant matter, both Jeff and Kathy have requested Family Code §271 sanctions against
25 one another.
26 A. The Court may deny Jeffs request for sanctions against Kathy.
27 Kathy asks that Jeffs request for Family Code §271 sanctions be denied in its entirety as his
28 motion has no proper legal basis.
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-9
6-11-FL-005500
1 As stated in Kathy's Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC) statement, on July 31,2012, Jeff
2 filed a motion requesting sanctions in the amount of $80,000 against Kathy. Jeffclaimed that Kathy
3 filed a baseless ex-parte request for a restraining order onJanuary 26, 2011, which was granted inpart,
4 and claimed that Kathy did not act in goodfaith during negotiations regarding Jeff visiting the children,
5 thus resulting in Jefflosing significant visitation time with his children during the year 2011.
6 Kathy and Jeffexchanged 189 emails for the first part of 2011, with Kathy attempting to give
7 Jeff time withthe children, however, most oftenhe would not change his cycling schedule to
8 accommodate seeing his daughters. The worst was when he refused to pick up the girls atthe Stanford
9 Shopping Center McDonald's on Father's Day 2011 because itwas not convenient for him, and not
10 letting Kathy know after making the girls wait an hour. She had them driven to and from his house to
11 accommodate his needs. Email examples are attached to Jeffs April 8, 2013 MSC statement and Reply
12 Declaration filed on about April 12,2013, and are attached here as well as Exhibit C.
13 Jefffails to acknowledge thatKathy's request for a restraining order was due to her substantial
14 fear that Jeff posed a significant threat to the entire family. Jeffs behavior atthe time ofKathy's filing
15 was dangerous, demeaning, unpredictable, he even took pictures ofKathy naked without her knowledge
16 orconsent, and his behavior was reminiscent ofthe time she broke up with him in 1993 after finding out
17 he used crystal meth. As a result, Kathy was afraid for both her life and the wellbeing ofher children,
18 and definitely did have grounds for filing her ex-parte request, despite Jeffs assertions that itwas
19 entirely baseless (Exhibit D).
20 The court additionally granted Kathy's request for a restraining order in part, clearly
21 demonstrating that the court did not find her claim frivolous or without just cause. Kathy did not file her
22 request in an attempt to increase the costs oflitigation or flout settlement, but filed with a good faith
23 belief that she was in danger and needed the court's protection. This is not the type of conduct that the
24 court has expressly contemplated as sanctionable under Family Code §271.
25 B. The Court may grant Kathy's request for sanctions against Jeff.
26 In contrast, Jeffs conduct and actions throughout this case fall squarely within the scope of
27 sanctionable conduct pursuant to Family Code §271.
28
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-10 10

6-11-FL-005500
1 In addition to what has been identified above, other examples exist, as follows, noting that the
2 below list is not complete:
3 1. Timing of Jeffs sanction request against Kathy for $80,000:

4 a. Jeff submitted this filing on July 31, 2012, the day before a Court hearing for Kathy's request
5 for child-related reimbursements, attorney's fees, and other issues. This shows his attemptto
6 frustrate settlement or coerce Kathy into settlement on the eve of hearing. He chose the day
7 before a hearing, after having waited more than 1 and lA years after Kathy's ex-parte request
8 was filed before even bringing his request for sanctions, which is clearly a showing of bad
9 faith conduct.
10 2. Delay of Court ordered fee award:

11 a. The Court ordered Jeffto pay the $10,000 to Kathy per Order filed onNovember 9,2012. By
12 this order, Jeffwas to pay her this amount by December 1, 2012, but hedid not pay her those
13 funds until the end of December 2012, after the Court ordered due date. He also attempted to
14 negotiate out of having to paythe Court ordered fees.

15 b. Nonetheless, while the slight delay is tolerable, the delay should not exist. The further
16 negotiation even after a Court order was made and the delay in payment are just other
17 examples frustrating the case, needless communication between parties, and wasted effort
18 that pulls parties away from settlement. Itis just this type ofconduct Kathy asks the Court
19 sanction in hope to avoid the conduct reoccurring in the future.
20 3. Initial Meeting with a mediator in January 2011:
21 a. Immediately prior to Kathy's initial filing for divorce in January 2011, the parties attempted
22 a mediation session in January 2011. At that time, Jeffwas employed full time and through
23 his employer, whom provided health insurance for Kathy and their two daughters. Jeff told
24 Kathy hewas going to remove her from his health insurance because she had called the
25 police to protect her against Jeff during an event where she feared for her safety. After the
26 mediation session, Jeff ended up not removingKathy from his health insurance.
27 b. While this is a relatively small incident that occurred, this unbalanced and unreasonable form
28 of negotiation has been prevalent throughout this litigation process. It is this conduct that
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-11 11
6-11-FL-005500
1 Kathy requests theCourt to sanction Jeff, inhope that for the remainder oftheir children's
2 lives while under this Court's jurisdiction (Kali is 11 and Lauren in 7), Jeff will focus and act
3 on reasonable compromise.
4 4. Paying Court ordered child-related reimbursements:

5 a. Kathy filed a motion on April 11,2012 inorder to get Jeff to pay court ordered child-related
6 reimbursement claims, among other requests. The parties attempted to resolve this issue at an
7 SOC on June 12, 2012. Kathy offered to offset Jeffs overpayment of support against
8 reimbursements due to Kathy. Jeff said no.
9 b. However, in Jeff s Responsive Declaration filed on or about July 31,2012, page 13,
10 paragraph 36, itreads in the middle ofthe paragraph: "Likewise, given that the parties
11 already reached a settlement on this issue and agreed to offset these costs with my
12 overpayments ofsupport, Petitioner's request for $2,000 in sanctions should be denied."
13 c. This "agreement" was news to Kathy's attorney, who then contacted Jeffs attorney but his
14 attorney would not respond to her call. Kathy did not know why they would continue
15 litigating this issue ifhe was already in agreement, but still he forced the issue to hearing,
16 which was a complete waste ofthe Court's and the parties' respective time and resources.
17 Eitherthere was a miscommunication between Jeff and his attorney, or they used the hearing
18 date in bad faith for their own agenda. Either way, the conduct cannot becondoned by the
19 Court.
20 5. Sale of community residence:
21 a. Pursuant to paragraph 1ofthe parties' Stipulated Judgment entered on April 17, 2013, the
22 parties were to list the family residence at 14 Arastradero Road in Portola Valley for sale.
23 Paragraph 3 ofthe judgment additionally required that the parties choose a selling agent by
24 May 1, 2013, and ifthey were unable to agree on an agent, Ed Mills, who had been granted
25 judiciary authority to oversee the sale ofthe residence, was tochoose an agent.
26 b. The parties were unable to choose an agent by May 1st, as required. Therefore, on May 2n ,
27 Kathy's attorney, Ms. Ledgerwood requested Judge Mills choose an agent per the terms of
28 the judgment. However, Jeff proceeded to confuse Judge Mills as to the current status ofthe
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-12 12
6-11-FL-005500
sale, causing Judge Mills to believe thatthe parties had already selected a listing agent. Ms.
Ledgerwood was therefore required to send additional e-mails to Judge Mills in an effort to
rectify this problem, and Judge Mills ultimately selected Ginny and Joe Kavanaugh as the
4 listing agents, the names submitted by Ms. Ledgerwood.
5 c. Following Judge Mills' order, Jeff proceeded to make matters even worse bytelling the
6 Kavanaughs to include additional terms into the proposed listing agreement that were not
7 part ofany court orders and claiming that they were in accordance with Judge Mills'
8 previous e-mails to the parties. The Kavanaughs became very confused and contacted Ms.
9 Ledgerwood for further guidance.
io d. Between May 2nd and May 3rd alone, Ms. Ledgerwood had to send numerous separate e-
11 mails to Judge Mills, Jeff, and the Kavanaughs simply to clarify the explicit orders from the
12 court orders and to advise that no additional terms were to be added to the listing agreement.
13 It was only after Ms. Ledgerwood requested an additional Settlement Officer Conference
14 with Judge Mills that Jefffinally agreed to sign the listing agreement inthe judge's presence.
15 Over 16 emails, telephone calls to coordinate the SOC, telephone calls with the agent,
16 preparation for the SOC, and the SOC appearance all occurred because Jeff created an issue
n for his own benefit, one thatdid not exist, and resulted in wasting the Court's and Kathy's
18 respective time and resources (Exhibit E).
!9 e. This incident provides a typical example ofJeffs behavior throughout this case. He will
20 constantly claim that his improper conduct conforms to the court orders, which in turn causes
2i Kathy and her attorney to spend additional time and money simply to force Jeff to realize that
22 the court orders do not allow him to engage in such actions.
23 6. Inability to comply with January 3,2013 Court Order:
24 a. Pursuant to the January 3, 2013, stipulation and order, Jeffis subject to an Employment
25 Efforts Order and is required to submit his work efforts on a monthly basis. While his efforts
26 appeared reasonable inJanuary 2013, his efforts become very infrequent through April 2013,
27 thus showing he is not in compliance with the January 3, 2013 order
28
In reMarriage of FRAZIER
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-13 13
6-11-FL-005500
1 b. In addition, Ms. Ledgerwood must fish for this information rather than Jeffassuming his
2 affirmative duty to provide herwith that information. (Exhibit F). This effort onherpart
3 should not be made, but she is forced to because he does not provide her with the information
4 as ordered.
5 7. Arguing a writing is a contract when it is plainly obvious it is NOT a contract:

6 a. Alay person arguably understands basic contract law principles. But Jeff is a practicing
7 lawyer, and somehow he thought itappropriate that he spend the Court's and Kathy's
8 resources to review his position that an unsigned post-marital draft agreement with multiple
9 changes on it be treated as a valid contract (see Respondent's MSC statement filed on April
10 8,2013, Exhibit K). This argument from a person ofhis credentials is absurd and wasted
11 time inhaving to read it and discuss it at the MSC. The exhibit should not exist in the first
12 place and is just another example showing Jeffsdisregard to act in good faith settlement
13 negotiations.
14 8. Accessing Kathy's personal email unlawfully:

15 a. Kathy noticed in prior filings but again in JeffsReply MSC statement filed on or about April
16 12, 2013 that he attached exhibits T, U, V, and W. These are emails between Kathy
17 fkathvffikathvfrazier.com) and others (Jeff was NOT included). None ofthe emails were
18 provided to Jeff, and the only way he obtained these were by accessing her email without her
19 knowledge. Kathy later found out that Jeff accessed, without Kathy's agreement, her email
20 account, her phone, and tracked her whereabouts, all without her knowledge or consent.
21 b. Jeffstole these emails from Kathy. Not only did he illegally take her information, but then he
22 had the audacity to provide it to the Court. This type of conduct cannot beshown as
23 acceptable by the Court, and without a sanction, he will proceed to act in this manner. Kathy
24 needs the Court's assistance here in order to keep the parties focused on settlement.

In reMarriage of FRAZIER
Case #6-1 l-FL-005500
E-14 14
6-11-FL-005500
1 Other examples include Jeff filing ex parte applications (June 2011 andAugust 2012) in order to
2 get anupper hand on issues rather than litigate in fairness. For example, Jefffiled anex-parte
3 declaration and motion in June 2011 regarding child custody evaluation prior to filing objections and
4 during a known period unavailability of Kathy's counsel. The list goes on.
5 Kathy should nothave to provide the Court with multiple examples to geta sanction request. It is
6 evident that sanctions are necessary because Jeffs conduct has frustrated andtaken the focus away from
7 settlement. The hope is that with a sanction award, Jeffwill think twice before arguing a post-marital
8 draft agreement is a contract when it has changes on it with no signatures, for example. The focus should
9 be on reasonable settlement offers and negotiating in fairness, not submitting arguments that have no
10 valid basis, hoping that it can slip by the eyes of counsel and the Court.
11 There is no financial burden in ordering Jeff to pay such sanctions because as stated above, the
12 parties will receive liquid funds from the sale ofthe family residence. It is from these funds Kathy
13 requests the Court order Jeff pay sanctions to her, and from which the parties anticipate a fee award be
14 made. Therefore, any claims onJeffs part that it is too burdensome on him to pay such fees and
15 sanctions are clearly without merit.
16 Kathy has been displaced since January 2011 and has been struggling financially since then,
17 particularly with her taking on the burden ofthe children's upkeep. It is reasonable for her to desire for
18 Jeffs conduct to be more cooperative to avoid significant unnecessary emotional and financial drain on
19 the case. However, Jeffs conduct involves him repeatedly wasting time, disobeying explicit court
20 orders, and confusing simple tasks as described indetail above. Jeff needs to realize that his conduct is
21 absolutely unacceptable in a family law matter where the underlying goal is to promote settlement and
22 cooperation and not engage infrivolous litigation and arguments with additional costs. Therefore, Jeffs
23 conduct clearly falls within the scope of Family Code §271, and should accordingly be subject to
24 sanctions in the amount of $30,000.

PETITIONER'S TRIAL BRIEF PURSUANT TO 4/17/2013 COURT ORDER

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
CONCLUSION
1
2
Kathy requests the Court grant her request that Jeff pay 84% of her attorney's fees and costs in th
3
amount of $165,785.12 and sanctions of $30,000 based on the above, and as follows:
4
1. The Court grants Kathy's request for attorneys fees and costs for $165,785.12, payable from the
5 Arastradero equity proceeds as follows:
6
a. Of the $150,000 community funds to be held in trust from the Arastradero sale proceeds, the
7
entire amount shall be payable directly to Kathy Kostas ($75,000 of which is already hei
8 property)
9
b. From Jeffs anticipated sale proceeds, he shall pay her $90,785.15 ($165,785.12 fees incurred -
10
$75,000 paid from his portion ofthe $150,000 trust amount =$90,785.12).
II
2. The Court also grants Kathy's request for sanctions against Jeff in the amount of $30,000, also
12
payable from Jeffs portion of anticipated Arastradero sale proceeds
13
3. Attorney's fees, costs, and sanctions due to Kathy from Jeff shall be payable either out of escrow or
14
within 10 days of funds being released from escrow
15
4. Jeffs request for attorney's fees, costs, and sanctions is denied.
16
By the Court granting Kathy's requests above, she will be placed back into similar footing as Jeff
17
has been in since the inception of this litigation process and she will be able to catch up on her bills (for
18
example, the parties owe $23,781 to Charles Armstrong School, specialized to educate Kali, who has
19
dyslexia, and she has other bills to catch up on). She has managed her expenses best she could while
20
support payments significantly fluctuated downward from the summer 2012 through being paid $0 in
21
support since December 2012. While she is mindful and grateful for all that she does have, with hei
22
health, the children's health, and her work, she does need to appeal to the Court for the law provides she
23
ought to receive because Jeff has not been flexible in paying his reasonable share in attorney's fees and
24
costs. Thus, Kathy requests the Court grant her requests identified above

and agrees to hold Broker harmless asto any loss or injury in regard thereto. Seller is expressly advised to consult insurance
professionals in regard to the foregoing.

and systems (e.g., furnace, water heater, etc.) that fail during certain time periods surrounding the transaction. Coverage periods
that range from inception of the listing period to well after transfer of title are typically available, as is a variety of different
coverage features (e.g., roof, pool, etc.) and premium costs, depending on the individual plan. When put in place, home protections
plans often fund repair or replacement costs (subject to aservice charge) for items and issues that might otherwise have led to a
claim against Seller, or otherwise have resulted in an expensive loss. If checked. Seller agrees to pay for, and authorizes Broker
to order, a • Home Protection Plan (Buyer's Coverage) D Home Protection Plan (Seller's Coverage) ata cost not to exceed

e) Seller shall executeand deliver an escrow instruction irrevocably assigning to Broker, from Seller'sproceeds, the Brokerage

11. MEDIATION OF DISPUTES: Seller and Broker(collectively "Parties") agree to mediate any dispute between them arising out of
this Listing Agreement prior to anycourt action or arbitration. Mediation is a non-binding process in which Parties to a dispute
meet with a neutralmediator(selected bythe Parties)who will trytowork out a mutually acceptable resolution. The mediator does
not impose a settlement onthe Parties. If the Parties cannot agree ona mediator, theSuperior Court shall appoint a mediator. The
mediator may conduct more than onesessionand mediation fees shall be paid equally byparticipating Parties. Matters excluded
fromarbitration (Para. 12(b)) are also excluded from mediation.
12. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES:

a) Explanation: Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process in which Parties (by themselves orthrough their attorneys)
submit disputes to a neutralarbitratorwhois charged with rendering a fair and impartial decisionas to allissues presented.
When arbitrationis selected, the Parties give up their rightstotrialby judge or juryand to full and formal court process. Basic
discovery rights (e.g., depositions, document production) are provided for under California law. Rules ofevidence andprocedure
are less rigid than intrial court. Arbitration fees are typically on an hourly basis. The decision of the arbitrator is final and
binding on all Parties to the arbitration agreement (Paragraph 12(b)). The arbitrator can awardcompensatory damages,
punitive damages,and/ororderspecific performance, injunctive relief and declaratory relief. Notrial or other court process
is available to re-try the case or to appeal the merits of the arbitrator's ruling. This means that even when a partyclaims
the arbitrator made a clearly wrong decision, based on a misunderstanding of fact or of law or an unwillingness to follow the
law, that decision nevertheless remains final and unappealable. Only in cases of actual fraud in the arbitration process,
corruption, bias, lackofdue process or jurisdiction, orarbitrator's computation error, can an awardbe vacatedor modified.
The Parties are advised to confer with legal counsel for advice before committing to binding arbitration.
b) Arbitration Process, Election to Arbitrate: Any dispute arising outofthis Listing Agreement shall be decided by neutral
binding arbitration (in accordance with Chapter 3,Title 9of theCalifornia Code ofCivil Procedure (CCP §1283.05) including,
but not limited to, the rightof discovery), and not by courtaction, except as provided by California law for judicial review of
arbitration proceedings. The arbitratorshall be a retired Superior Courtjudge ora licensed California attorney with at least5
years real estate experience. If the Parties cannot agree onanarbitrator, theSuperior Court shall appoint thearbitrator. The
filing of an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enable the recording of a notice of pending action, for order of
attachment, receivership, injunction, or other provisional remedies shall not constitute a waiverof the right to mediation or
arbitration under this Contract, regardless of whether the said complaint includes causes of action not necessary to the
recordationof the notice of pending action. The Parties agree that, in the event of such court filing, itwould be appropriatefor
the courtto issue an order staying proceedings therein, pending the completion ofmediation orarbitration underthisContract.
The filing of such judicial action shall notconstitute a waiver ofmediation or arbitration rights. Exclusions from arbitration:
unlawful detainer, foreclosure-related actions, matters within Small Claims Court jurisdiction.

Subject: Sale of the house
Jeff:
Ihave called Judge Mills' clerk for the next available SOC date and/or meeting with Judge Mills. When Ihear when he
can meet with us I will take the date and immediately let you know.
You have made a simple process difficult. You did not inform Judge Mills that we did not have an agreement (one where
everyone actually signs it) to a listing agent. He gave his initial email response to you not knowing that key fact. Once I
let him know, he said you and Kathy haveto agree on the Kavanaughs.
At that point, you have to sign the agreement with the Kavanaughs without any additional terms (ie #15 of the contract
you sent the Kavanaughs and Isimply can't believe you would include those terms when there are no court orders that
allow for that). There is no outwith that. You are causing both parties to fail to adhere to the court order. This is a major
problem.
Ihave been nothing but honest with you, and after all the hassle you create, you end up realizing what Ihave said and
done was correct. This case is no different.
Your conduct shows a pattern of being difficult and that type of conduct is sanctionable. Iask that you notgive me
another item to add to my list and adhere to the process that was agreed to: agree to a listing agent, list the house for
sale, then move on. If you want to submit an offer after the house is listed, then be my guest. Until then, you need to
follow the court orders. At this point, it may be necessary to get you out ofthe house before it's listed for sale because I
cannot trust thatyou will be cooperative. Imay request too that Kathy have sole control over thesale ofthe house. I
have tofigure out how to best sell a community asset. That is next on my list to do based on how you are conducting
yourself.

Jeff neglected to send you the emails that followed clarifying what I've been telling you this

again, I will deal with it next week.
Generally, the Judge misunderstood, thinking that we already agreed to alisting agent (this is
when he sent the $1 email). Then I emailed the Judge clarifying that we did not have a listing
agent, asking you be the listing agent. The Judge then selected you as the agent. From there, they
are to signwith you and move forward.
I have gone through these types ofdeals before and never have they been this messy. This is no

Dear Judge Mills,
I discussed the option you provided in your email ofMay 2,2013, below, with the listing agent per your
instructions, but not without a verbal thrashing for it from counsel for Ms. Kostas (Frazier). She has informed
all involved, including the listing agents, that the process set out inyour May 2 email isirrelevant in favor of
the process set out in her email ofMay 3, 2013 (attached). As you will see, she says that I cannot obtain the
property "for the equivalent of one half of the offered price plus one dollar." This is notwithstanding that I
executed the listing agreement (attached) prior to close-of-business Friday May 3, 2013, per your May 2 email.
My understanding, on the other hand, is that the process set out in your email ofMay 2is valid and available to
me. I cannot imagine you would have withdrawn it without telling me, and I never received any such word from
you.
Please confirm my understanding, or otherwise, at your earliest convenience. We are at a standstill until we hear

Iapologize for the delay in responding to you all. I have reviewed the various correspondence, and
believe I understand the various positions. I cannot order a sale between parties: such a transaction
must be done by agreement. Nothing indicates that there is such an agreement. Mr. Frazier, Iwill
authorize you to match any offer that is presented for the equivalent of one half of the offered price
plus one dollar to acquire the other party's interest so long as there are no financing contingencies.
Please discuss this option with the listing agents. In the event that the listing agreement is not
signed by close of business tomorrow, the option will be no longer available to you.

Dear All:
Ginny, you and I spoke earlier and I believe Iclearly told you that there is nothing atypical about this sale. Itis a typical sale, and theONLY
possible atypical part ofit is in theevent Jeff's offer is accepted by both Jeff and Kathy after thehome is listed for sale.
No "$1 more than" termexists anywhere inany agreement, unless of course youare creating itfor some purpose. Jeffs offer, ifhe submits one,
will be reviewed just the same as other offers AFTER the home is listed publicly for sale onthe market. At that point, I mentioned to you to figure
out what your costs are plus your hours, estimate itthe bestyou can, and write that figure into theagreement as theamount you get paid if the
sale is between spouses.
No notehas to be made inthe public mislisting that Jeff will make an offer. His offer is no different than anyone else's offer. Recall there is nosuch
agreement as to "$1 more." I have no idea why that is being brought upbecause it's notreal.
Jeffhas complicated and confused sucha simple transaction that he is now hindering the sale ofthe property. He is a very smart man so I believe
he should know better.
Ginny: I hope you realize I know you are doing the bestyou can. But I also realize Jeff isfrustrating this simple transaction.
Ifyou are ableto help them today, great, but ifnot. Iwill get it ontrack next week.
Have a nice weekend.

c) Buyer's Agent to the Seller before presenting an offer; d) Listing Agent, when acting as a dual agent, to the Buyer as soon as
practicable before the Buyer signs an offer.
SELLER'S AGENT
ASeller's agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts asthe agent for the Seller only. ASeller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following
affirmative obligations:
To the Seller:

duties set forth above.
BUYER'S AGENT
Aselling agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if
by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer
has the following affirmative obligations:
To the Buyer:
Afiduciary duty ofutmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.
To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise ofreasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties.
(b) Aduty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.

AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER
Areal estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licensees, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a

Seller will accept a price less than the listing price orthat the Buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered.
The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect his or her own interests. You
should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. Areal estate agent is a person qualified
to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.
Throughout your real property transaction you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction.
The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual relationship to present you with this disclosure form. You should read its contents each

ADVISORY AND CONSENT REGARDING
MULTIPLE AGENCY AND DUAL AGENCY
Revision Date 8/04
tUE REALTOR®
www.prdsforms.com
Real estate brokerage companies vary in terms of number of sales agents and branch offices. Larger brokerages may, at
any one time, service hundreds of listings and address the needs of thousands of individual clients. Client is advised that
such circumstance, coupled with limited housing inventories and expanding demand for homes, can engender vigorous
competition for the same property by numerous buyers and result in situations (referred to herein as "Multiple Agency")
wherein two or more sets of buyers are represented by agents from the same brokerage company. Related to Multiple
Agency (and included within the scope of that term for purposes of this document) are situations wherein a buyer client is
introduced to and shown properties that are listed with the same brokerage to which that buyer's agent belongs.
"Dual Agency" arises when (1) both the buyer and seller of a particular property are represented by the same, individual
agent or (2) the buyer and seller are separately represented by different agents of the same brokerage company. Dual
Agency is recognized and accepted under California law as a legally authorized agency relationship, and is addressed in
the "Disclosure Regarding Real Estate Agency Relationships" form required by Civil Code Section 2079.13, et seq. and
provided to Client. When consented to by the subject buyer and seller, a listing agent is thus permitted by law to represent
said listing agent's own buyer client (if any) in the showing and eventual sale of property listed by that agent, and may
present offers for that buyer on properties listed by other agents affiliated with the same brokerage. Client is nevertheless
advised and acknowledges and understands, that conflicts of interests can and do arise in Dual Agency situations due to
the inherently competing interests of buyers and sellers of a particular property and the fact that one single brokerage
company, and the agent(s) involved, owe a fiduciary duty to buyer and seller both.
As to any such conflict or dispute, Client understands and agrees that Agent may seek guidance and counsel from Agent's
managing broker or broker of record (as applicable) to assist in achieving a fair and impartial resolution. Client
acknowledges and accepts Agent's affirmation of brokerage fiduciary duties and responsibilities and Agent's commitment
to devote best efforts to fairly and ably resolve such conflicts and other disputes in a manner that favors the interests of
neither party over the other. Additionally, Client accepts that, although Agent commits to the full and faithful disclosure to
both Buyer and Seller of all material information (of which Agent is aware) reasonably bearing on value or desirability of
the subject property, Agent will not (without written consent):
(a) reveal to Buyer the fact or extent of any willingness by Seller to sell the property at a price, and/or upon terms,
less than those set forth in the subject listing;
(b) reveal to Seller the highest price and/or most Seller-favorable terms upon which Buyer is willing to buy the
property; or
(c) reveal to the other party to the transaction any information relating to any family, financial, health, occupational or
other circumstance, purpose or motivation (not relating to condition, value or desirability of the property) that might
influence or otherwise bear on Buyer's or Seller's decision to purchase or sell the property.
Client acknowledges and accepts the foregoing limitations and exceptions regarding disclosure by Agent, and
acknowledges Agent's advice and recommendation to confer with legal counsel regarding Multiple Agency and Dual
Agency and any decision to proceed on the basis thereof.
Client affirms that Client has read and considered the foregoing, and that Client expressly consents to, and hereby
agrees to allow Agent and Agent's Broker to proceed on the basis of, Multiple Agency and Dual Agency on Client's
behalf as explained herein.

MARKET CONDITIONS ADVISORY
Real estate markets are cyclical and what goes up may well come down. It is impossible to predict what the
market conditions will be at any given time. The ultimate decision of what amount to offer on any given property
rests with the buyer. Buyers need to decide what they are willing to pay for a property in light ofmarket
conditions and their own financial resources. Buyersalso needto decide what type of offer they are willingto
make in recognition of market conditions existing atthe time oftheir offer. The purpose ofthis Advisory is to
bring to the attention of buyers and sellers some ofthe risks attendant to changing market conditions.
Non-Contingent Offers
A non-contingent offer means that the buyer will proceed with the purchase ofthe property (or, ifthe buyer fails
to do so, possibly paying damages to the seller such as the deposit money) regardless ofwhat the buyer may learn
about the condition of the property prior to the close of escrow and regardless of whether the buyer's financing
is available or approved by the lender. Some sellers are insisting that the contract be non-contingent.
Property Condition
Real estate brokers traditionally recommend that buyers protect themselves by conditioning their purchase ofthe
property on an inspection ofthe property so that the buyers can be assured that the property meets their needs. In
some markets, many buyers are choosing to forego that sage advice sothat their offers are more attractive to the
seller.
If, after making an offer without a property condition contingency, a buyer becomes aware of an aspect of the
condition of the property that affects its value or desirability, the buyer may still be required to proceed to
purchase the property or possibly pay damages tothe seller, which may be the deposit in escrow. Ifthis is a
condition that must subsequently be repaired, the buyer may have no legal recourse against any ofthe parties in
the transaction afterescrow closes including the seller, the agents or the inspectors and then the buyer may have
to pay to correct those problems.
NOTE: Waiving the right to have a contingency regarding the property condition does not waive the buyer's right
to inspect the property, even if the property is being sold "AS IS". Regardless of whether there is a property
condition contingency. Broker recommends that prospective buyers have the property thoroughly inspected by
their own experts prior to the close of escrow.
Unless exempt, sellers of residential property of 1to 4 units must complete the Real Estate Transfer Disclosure
Statement (TDS), even if the property is being sold "AS IS". The California Legislature has given buyers the
right to rescind the transaction within three (3) days of personal delivery and five (5) days of mailing of theTDS
if the buyer is dissatisfied with the information supplied by the sellers. The parties cannot waive this statutory
right. If the seller becomes aware of new information that could affect the value or desirability of the property
that was not already disclosed in the TDS, California law provides that the seller "may" (not "must") amend the
TDS, however some contract forms require such an amendment under certain circumstances. Only if the TDS is
amended, in writing, by the seller or the Listing Agent (but not the Selling Agent) does the buyer have the right to
terminate the purchase contract within three (3) days of personal delivery and five (5) days of mailing of the
amended TDS.

MARKET CONDITIONS ADVISORY
Financing
The lender's approval of financing includes the lender's determination that(A) the buyer is creditworthy and can
afford to make the mortgage payments and (B) thatthe property appraises for at leastthe principal amount of the
loan. Even if a buyer has obtained a prequalification or preapproval letter from a lender, the lender may not
ultimately approve the loan if the lender's appraiser determines thatthe property's fair market value is less than
the amount ofthe purchase price or if the buyer's financial/employment situation has changed.
Ifthere is no financing contingency and the property does not "appraise", thebuyer may not beable to afford to
make up the difference between the loan amount applied for and the loan amount actually offered by the lender.
Under those circumstances, the buyer may not be able to perform on their contractual obligations. This could then
result in the buyer paying damages to the seller. It is thus a serious risk for a buyer to eliminate from the purchase
contract their right to have a financing contingency if they intend to secure a loan.
Broker Recommendations
• Buyers should, if possible, try to engage property inspection professionals before making an offer to
inspect the property as well as review any disclosures, records and reports supplied by the sellers or
other sources, such as the local planning entities.
• Buyers should carefully assess their financial situation with their own financial advisor prior to
determining whether to waive any rights to have a financing contingency.
• Even buyers who intend to pay all cash (e.g. from the sale of stock) would be wise to include a
financing contingency if there is any chance that the buyers' ability to pay might be jeopardized by
a loss in value of their source of funds during escrow.
Each buyer must, upon careful deliberation, decide how much risk he or she is willing to assume.
This is not a decision that can be made for a buyer by a Real Estate Agent.

11. MEDIATION OF DISPUTES: Sellerand Broker (collectively "Parties") agree to mediate anydispute between them arising outof
this Listing Agreement prior to any court action or arbitration. Mediation is a non-binding process in which Parties to a dispute
meet with a neutral mediator (selected by the Parties) who will try towork out a mutually acceptable resolution. The mediator does
not impose asettlement on the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on amediator, the Superior Court shall appoint a mediator. The
mediator may conduct more than one session and mediation fees shall be paid equally by participating Parties. Matters excluded
from arbitration (Para. 12(b)) are also excluded from mediation.
12. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES:

a) Explanation: Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process in which Parties (by themselves or through their attorneys)
submit disputes to a neutral arbitrator who is charged with rendering a fair and impartial decision as to all issues presented.
When arbitration isselected, the Parties give up their rights totrial by judge orjury andtofull and formal court process. Basic
discovery rights (e.g., depositions, document production) are provided for under California law. Rules of evidence and procedure
are less rigid than in trial court. Arbitration fees are typically on an hourly basis. The decision ofthe arbitrator isfinal and
binding on all Parties tothearbitration agreement (Paragraph 12(b)). The arbitrator can award compensatory damages,
punitive damages, and/or order specific performance, injunctive relief and declaratory relief. No trial or other court process
isavailable to re-try the case orto appeal the merits ofthearbitrator's ruling. This means that even when a party claims
the arbitrator made a clearly wrong decision, based on a misunderstanding of fact orof law oranunwillingness to follow the
law, that decision nevertheless remains final and unappealable. Only in cases of actual fraud in the arbitration process,
corruption, bias, lack of due process or jurisdiction, or arbitrator's computation error, can an award be vacated or modified.
The Parties areadvised to confer with legal counsel for advice before committing to bindingarbitration.
b) Arbitration Process, Election to Arbitrate: Any dispute arising out of this Listing Agreement shall be decided by neutral
binding arbitration (in accordance with Chapter 3, Title 9of the California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP §1283.05) including,
but not limited to, the right of discovery), and not by court action, except as provided by California law for judicial review of
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator shall be a retired Superior Court judge or a licensed California attorney with at least 5
years real estate experience. If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the Superior Court shall appoint the arbitrator. The
filing of an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enable the recording of a notice of pending action, for order of
attachment, receivership, injunction, orother provisional remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to mediation or
arbitration under this Contract, regardless of whether the said complaint includes causes of action not necessary to the
recordation of the notice of pending action. The Parties agree that, in the event of such court filing, it would beappropriate for
the court toissue anorder staying proceedings therein, pending thecompletion of mediation orarbitration under this Contract.
The filing of such judicial action shall not constitute a waiver of mediation or arbitration rights. Exclusions from arbitration:
unlawful detainer, foreclosure-related actions, matters within Small Claims Court jurisdiction.

Subject: 14 Arastradero listing agreement terms
Dear Ginny and Joe Kavanaugh:
My name is Nedda and I am Kathy Kostas' attorney in her family law matter. She and JeffFrazier have a court
order filed 4/17/13 requiring them to list the above mentioned property for sale by June 1, 2013.
After the house is listed for sale, either Jeff or Kathy can put an offer in for the purchase of the house. These
offers, if submitted, would be weighed against other offers submitted. Of course the goal is to getthe best deal
possible for them.
However, if it happens that Jeffor Kathy's offer is the best, then that makes the sale extremely simple, as you
already know. There is no need for any ofthe contract forms, the financing part, etc. It's merely an interspousal
transfer, requiring the Interspousal Transfer Deed, the PRECOR form, and really itjustcomes back to me (and I
can take care of those forms as well).
Thus, I suppose inyour listing agreement, ifthe sentence isnot already there, you can write inand initial a one-
liner that states something to the effect of: "In the event Kathy and Jeffagree to an interspousal transfer, then
the fees payable to the listing agent is $ ." Nothing more, really.
With that said, though, the goal is to take the best offer available for the property. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me. Good luck at your meeting this afternoon and with the house sale.

Jeff:
The Judge wrote the first email from today assuming we already agreed on the realtor. He was mistaken. After
an agent is selected, and once the house is listed, thereafter you have the opportunity to submit your offer. We
have the agent selected, but it's not acontract yet until you and Kathy sign alisting agreement with them. An
email is not enough to get a house listed and sold.
That is how the process works, not for you to submit your offer before hand.
You and Kathy first need to sign on with the Kavanaughs then get the house listed then sell your house (if you
and Kathy accept your offer then the real estate agent fees don't get paid, maybe alittle for their time, but the
agents should include that language in their agreement, ie, they should have language to cover this scenario).

We were sent an email by judge Mills

We used his language
Did you receive?
We did not "create" the 1.00 amount

It came from the Judge's email
Is this a bonafied email from him?
You say it is not an agreement
But it reads as a directive to me.
And it expires today
This did not come from Jeff

Though he did forward it to me
The advisory on the commission is from our manager Wendy McPherson
Our manager has advised that we could do this for 2%

Instead if 2.5
If Jeff buys it
But ourcommission as listing agents will have been earned by bringing in an acceptable offer
I will forward you the Judge's email
As an agent representing buyers inthis area I would want to know what the playing field was in order to best
advise any buyer
To not disclose that there is someone who could up the offer by any amount
Would not be something Joe and I would be comfortable with
We have great respect in thereal estate community which we pride ourselves on
Perhaps eachparty should have an appraisal done

Then determine value and come to an agreement
This would eliminate the frustration.
It seems as if listing the house and putting in multiple is anattempt to establish value
Happy to continue our discussion next week
We would like to list and sell the house

We did this years ago! PLAINTIFF’S EXHIBIT NO.

Dear All:
Ginny, you and I spoke earlier and I believe I clearly told you that there is nothing atypical about
this sale. It is a typical sale, and the ONLY possible atypical part of it is in the event Jeffs offer
is accepted by both Jeff and Kathy after the home is listed for sale.
No "$1 more than" term exists anywhere in any agreement, unless of courseyou are creating it
for some purpose. Jeffs offer, if he submits one, will be reviewed just the same as other offers
AFTER the home is listed publicly for sale on the market. At that point, I mentioned to you to
figure out what your costs are plus your hours, estimate it the best you can, and write that figure
intothe agreement as the amount you get paid if the sale is between spouses.
No note has to be made in the public mis listing that Jeff will make an offer. His offeris no
different than anyone else's offer. Recall there is no such agreement as to "$1 more." I have no
idea why that is being brought up becauseit's not real.
Jeffhas complicated and confused such a simple transaction that he is now hindering the sale of
the property. He is a very smart man so I believe he should know better.
Ginny: I hope you realize I know you are doing the best you can. But I also realize Jeffis
frustrating this simple transaction.
If you are able to help them today, great, butif not, I will get it on track next week.
Have a nice weekend.

I apologize for the delay in responding to you all. I have reviewed the various correspondence, and believe I understand
the various positions. I cannot order a sale between parties: such a transaction must be done by agreement. Nothing
indicates that there is such an agreement. Mr. Frazier, I will authorize you to match any offer that is presented for the
equivalent of one half of the offered price plus one dollar to acquire the other party's interest so long as there are no
financing contingencies. Please discuss this option with the listing agents. In the event that the listing agreement is not
signed by close of business tomorrow, the option will be no longer available to you.

Dear Judge Mills:
I want to make sure we are clear as to what is going on and what the 4/17/2013 Judgmentterms (pertinent
portions to the current circumstances read as follows):
1. Theparties shall list for salethe family residence located at 14 Arastradero Road; Portola
Valley, CA 94028.
3. Ed Mills shall be granted judiciary authority to oversee the sale of said residence. In the
event the parties cannot agree on a real estate agent to act as the selling agent by May
1, 2013, Judge Mills shall decide who the selling agent is. The parties agree to allow the
agent to control the method in which the house is sold, although considering both parties
interests in the method of sale. The house must be listed for sale byJune 1,2013.
My understanding is that Mr. Frazier can make an offer, but he can only do so to the agents. The agents have
yet to be determined, and we need you to make that decision as to who the listing agents will be.
In my email to you yesterday, I requested Ginny and Joe Kavanaugh. Both parties have already met with
Ginny and I understand from Ginny that she had a pleasant experience meeting Mr. Frazier.
Thus, please select who the listing agent is and then Mr. Frazier is welcome to submit an offer after the
residence has been listed for sale.
I ask that you immediately select the listing agent and have the parties sign the listing agreement by Friday
May 3, 2013 so that the home is ready for sale by June 1, 2013. We have a very tight calendar to work with.
Thank you for your time.

Case #6-ll-FL 0055500
Dear Judge Mills:
I, Jeffery Frazier, represent myself in theabove-entitled action and Ms. Frazier is represented by Nedda
Ledgerwood.
This is in reference to the accompanying Judgment ofApril 17,2013, related to selling ourhouse (see
Paragraphs 1and 3). Due to significant developments since thattime, Iam respectfully requesting that
we have a telephonic case management conference at your earliest convenience.
Ihave now acquired financing that will enable me to immediately buy out Petitioner's equity in the
house, exceeding by a couple thousand dollars the amount the realtor determined to be the net price.
Petitioner refusesthat offer with no substantive explanation.
While we have met with a realtor ofPetitioner's choosing, we have not formally engaged them. They
have emailed their proposal that includes:
$1,795,000 List price minus $96,714.50 Closing costs =$1,698,285.50 Net (Realtor verbally indicated
therewill be an additional $1,500-2,000 preliminary report fees, as well.)
My offer includes:

6-11-FL-005500
Edward Mills
Page Two
April 30,2013
$1,700,000 minus $0 expenses =$1,700,000 Net. Payment for herequity would be derived from
transferring my retirement assets to Petitionerand giving her the remainder in cash. Iwill cover
accountanfs fees for adjusting the settlement sheet, as well as fees related to the transfer. There would
be no other expenses for Petitioner.
My position:
• My offer is at least $1,700 over the net of selling through an agent

• This Portola Valley house isourchildren's birth home, rendering them emotional security and a
safe placein which to live. Selling would be a huge emotional loss for them so I have worked
hard to prevent this trauma.
• Selling would create a financial hardship on me while making no financial difference for
Petitioner. Idesire home ownership over renting and the costs for selling, buying and moving
would negatively affect my position.
• I am very attached to the house.
It has been only very recently that Iwas able to workout financing. In addition, I had to hearthe
realtor's list price and closing costs before Icould be confident Icould match them.
Thank you for your help In this matter. Iam available to do whatever Ican to expedite our conference.
Best regards,

I am the attorney for Petitioner/Mother in this matter. We have an Employment Efforts Order revieVI
hearing against Respondent/Father set for February 6, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.
I request the Court impute income to Respondent at $225,000 per year, or $18,750 per month. Thi~
was the income he was earning at his prior employment as VP at Kateeva. His job ended in Octobe1
2012.
I am making this request because multiple career opportunities are available to Respondent howeve1
he has chosen not to take them. He has the earning capacity of at least $225,000 per year, and in th<
past, he has earned up to $1 million in one year (base salary plus bonus plus stock sales, etc.).
attempted to personally help him find work, to which he was amenable. He kindly sent me his CV,
and that email and CV are attached. Respondent's impressive educational and employmen
background are attached (Exhibit A).

4. I researched positions available for someone of Respondent's caliber. There are multipl
2 opportunities available. I did an initial set of research in December 2012 (Exhibit B) and agai
3 recently (Exhibit C). I sent Respondent a courtesy email to notify him of the need to fin
4 employment (Exhibit D).
5 5. He insists on having his own business, but until then, he has two daughters to support. On top o
6 that, he desires to keep the family residence, but without higher income, I see of no fathomable wa
7 that he can keep the family residence. Right now I know he is borrowing money from his parents i
8 order to keep the mortgage afloat.
9 6. While he resides at the family residence, my client cannot afford rent (Exhibit E). The parties nee
IO to divide and sell their assets immediately. Until then, my client is taking the financial hit.
11 7. Please note that in addition to imputing income to him at a reasonable earning capacity of $225,000
12 per year, he also receives income for renting out rooms in the family residence and airplane income.
13 He would need to tell us the current values for those items.
14 8. I did research the law behind the request of imputing income to Respondent, proving that a
15 imputation is proper:
16
The Court may consider Father's earning capacity instead of actual income retroactive to January 3, 2013. In
17 determining child support, the Court has discretion to consider a parent's earning capacity instead of the
parent's actual income, consistent with the best interests of the supported children. Family Code §4058(b). The
18 strong public policy in favor of providing adequate child support has led to an expansive use of earning capacity
in setting the level of support when consistent with the needs of the child. Marriage of Destein (2001) 91 CA 4th
19 1385 at 1391. Courts have the discretion to impute income to both the payor and the payee parent based on
earning capacity. Marriage of Cheriton (2001) 92 CA 4th 269 at 301.
20
21 When the Court considers earning capacity instead of actual income, it is only the actual earned income that
is replaced by earning capacity. The Court may consider both earning capacity and actual unearned income and
22 add the two items together. Stewart v. Gomez (1996) 47 CA 4th 1748 at 1752 -1754.
23
A court is not limited to considering earning capacity only on a showing of bad faith or that the parent is
24 deliberately avoiding his or her financial responsibilities to the family by refusing to accept or seek gainful
employment. Marriage of Smith (2001) 90 CA 4th 74 at 81. Rather, as set out in Marriage of Regnery (1989) 214
25 CA 3'' 1367 at 1372-1373, the Court should consider the "earning capacity" of an unemployed or allegedly
underemployed parent when it is shown that the parent has:
26
27 The ability to work, considering factors such as the parent's age, occupation, skills, education, health,
background, work experience, and qualifications; and
28
Case #6-11-FL-005500 G-2 2
SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF ATTORNEY NEDDA LEDGERWOOD Case Number

6-11-FL-005500
An opportunity to work. Marriage of Regnery (1989) 214 CA 3'd 1367 at 1372 -1373. A parent has an
opportunity to work if there is a reasonable likelihood that the party could, with reasonable effort, apply
2 his or her education, skills and training to produce income. Marriage of Smith, Supra. "Opportunity" is
not limited to working for someone else; the Court may also consider the parent's "opportunity" for
3 self-employment. Marriage of Cohn (1998) 65 CA 4th 923 at 930.
4 If either the ability or opportunity to work is absent, a parent's earning capacity may not be considered. But
if a Parent is unwilling to work, despite having the ability and opportunity to do so, earning capacity may be
5
imputed. Marriage ofReqnerv, supra.
6
It is Mother's burden to prove Father's ability and opportunity to be employed. Once this burden is met, the
7 other party must prove that, despite reasonable efforts, he or she could not secure employment. Marriage of
LaBass and Munsee (1997) 56 CA 4th 1331at1338-1339 (help wanted ads from newspaper are admissible for
8
purpose of showing employment opportunities). Thus, it is on Father to prove that he has made reasonable
9 efforts to secure employment but has not been able to do so.
10
9. Because of the reasons above and on behalf of my client, I request the Court impute income t
11
Respondent at $18,750 gross per month retroactive to January 3, 2013. She has not been paid an
12
support by him since January 2013, and she is in desperate need of his help.
13
14
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed in Sunnyvale,
15

21 2. Yesterday, February 4, 2013, Petitioner blindsided me with her Supplemental Declaration

23 got laid off in October 2012. For the reasons below, I request that Petitioner's request be denied and
24 that she be sanctioned $2,500 for bringing it.
25 3. Two Days' Notice. Petitioner's request was sprung on me yesterday by email (TWO days
26 before the hearing on it), with no advance discussion about it and, to this moment, no meet and
27 confer request from Petitioner's attorney. It literally came out of nowhere and why it was done that

way remains a mystery to me. I request $2,500 in sanctions for Petitioner's unnecessary eleventh
2 hour approach to her request and her failure to comply with rules regarding meet and confer.
3 4. No Relevant Evidence. Petitioner's Supplemental Declaration does not include any relevant
4 evidence. Not a single attachment purporting to be job openings shows a generally current opening
5 for a person of my qualifications at a salary of $225,000 per year. Most do not show any salary
6 information at all, and the couple that do are significantly less than $225,000. The majority are for
7 far less qualified people. Many are for people with backgrounds different than mine, e.g., engineers,
8 which I am not. Others are so vague and fragmented they are useless. If the Court should entertain
9 Petitioner's request to impute income, then I request the opportunity to speak to each and every
10 position advertisement that Petitioner has attached to her Declaration. I simply don't have the time to
11 do it now, given the short notice. There being absolutely no relevant evidence to support her
12 position, Petitioner's request to impute income must fail. I request $2,500 in sanctions since
13 Petitioner's request is completely lacking in merit.
14 5. What's more, Petitioner observed my job-hunting efforts the last time I was laid off while
15 both consulting and looking for a job, about two years ago. She knows that it took me about ONE
16 YEAR to find a job in this area that was a match for me and that paid $225,000. How then can she
17 reasonably expect me to find a $225,000/year job in less than four months since I was laid off, and
18 only one month since the Employment Efforts Order issued? She cannot. Besides, she knows that I
19 have been focusing on my consulting business up until this point. I request $2,500 in sanctions
20 because Petitioner brought a request which she knows it is highly unlikely that I (or anyone in my
21 position) would have been able to have met the employment and income requirements she has put
22 forth. This alone makes her Supplement Declaration a waste of time and money.
23 6. Also, Petitioner knows that I found my last $225,000/year job because of the consulting work
24 I was doing. It's bizarre, then, that Petitioner's attorney is now trying to shut down my consulting
25 work, as my experience has shown it is one of the best ways to find a permanent job.
26 7. Guerilla Tactics. This is the exact same kind of guerilla tactic that Petitioner has employed
27 throughout this litigation. For example, she started this litigation with an ex part, no notice, TRO
28 request against me (note, she dismissed the resulting TRO with prejudice at the hearing after
Marriage of Frazier
Case No: 6-11-FL-005500
H-2 Page 2of4
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 maintaining it for over eight months!). From there tensions only steadily increased due to her
2 continuing heavy handed tactics. Now, she does the same thing again. No wonder the parties are
3 having difficulties with settlement - Petitioner keeps unnecessarily inflaming the situation with
4 papers such as her Supplemental Declaration. I request sanctions of $2,500 to deter Petitioner from
5 ever further continuing to employ these all too familiar tactics.
6 8. Wasted Resources. Petitioner recently requested the Court to grant her attorney's fees from
7 me which the Court did, in the amount of $10,000. Notwithstanding that I was nearly broke and
8 unemployed, and Petitioner was fully employed, I paid her the $10,000. So, what does she do with
9 it? She spends it on the meritless Supplement Declaration which she brings in the most
10 counterproductive way. As described herein, the Supplemental Declaration is so lacking, it must fail.
11 Yet, I am put to task spending my time to reply, instead of spending these hours working at $300 per
12 hour as I could be. Moreover, the Court's time and effort is wasted dealing with Petitioner's
13 meritless, eleventh hour request. I request sanctions of $2,500 as I would use the money in
14 productive ways. As long as Petitioner would refrain from making me respond to items such as her
15 Supplement Declaration and her attempt to reopen custody, I would focus on settlement. However,
16 Petitioner has a settlement team comprising a family law attorney and a forensic accountant, while I
17 have only me. I need at least the help of an accountant to understand the incredibly complex
18 spreadsheet that Petitioner has given me and is demanding that I edit. Particularly since giving
19 Petitioner the $10,000, I simply do not have the resources to afford it now.
20 9. No Diligence. The Employment Efforts Order in this litigation issued against me only a
21 month ago, on January 3, 2013. Petitioner's attorney has not even bothered to look at my summary
22 of efforts or to learn of my billings for January 2013. No, instead she just prepared and filed her
23 Supplemental Declaration without speaking to me even once about it. Had she bothered to learn
24 about these things, she would have found, for example, that I have an interview this Friday and
25 another on Monday at Intermolecular, Inc. Further, she would have learned, for example, that my
26 January 2013 billings were about three times greater than any of the three previous months since I
27 was laid off in October 2012. These things were readily available to Petitioner's attorney and should
28 have been gotten. I request $2,500 in sanctions for Petitioner's bringing of such an extreme request

while she purposefu lly ignored relevant information she knew she should and could have (i.e., my
2 EEO tracker information and my billing information). In fact, Peti tioner's attorney speaks to the
3 substance of both of these things in her Declaration, so these things are relevant, yet she chose to
4 ignore them!
5 10. Because of the reasons above, I request that the Court deny Petiti oner's request to impute
6 income to me at $18,750 gross per month retroactive to January 3, 20 13. I fi.1rther request that the
7 Court sanction Petitioner in the amount of $2,500.

and
13 JEFFERY FRAZIER
14 Respondent
15
I, Nedda Ledgerwood, declare:
16 I. I am the attorney for Petitioner/Mother/Kathy Kostas in this matter. We have an Employment Effort
17
Order review hearing against Respondent/Father/Jeffery Frazier set for June 17, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
18 Mr. Frazier has an Employment Efforts Order against him per Court order filed on January 3, 2013.
19
2. On Ms. Kostas' behalf, I request the Court impute income to Respondent at $225,000 per yea
20 minimum, which is $18,750 per month retroactive to January 3, 2013. I also request the Cour
21
modify child support and spousal support to include this imputation.
22 3. Please see Mr. Frazier's Curriculum Vitae attached as Exhibit 1. While working for LiD
23
Technologies, Mr. Frazier earned a base salary of approximately $395,006, plus bonus, stock, an
24 other incentives. While working as a VP of Intellectual Property at Kateeva, Mr. Frazier earne
25 $225,000 gross base income per year. His job with Kateeva ended in October 2012.
26 4. Since then, Mr. Frazier has decreasingly earned income through his consulting business. Attache
27 are the job efforts provided by him to me (Exhibit 2). I have not received employment efforts fro
28 Mr. Frazier since May 2013. I have had to solicit his efforts and earnings from him, rather than hi1

In re Matter of Frazier I
Case #6-l l-FL-005500
I-1
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
affirmatively providing me with the Court ordered information (Exhibit 2). His efforts show that h
2 has an unwillingness to give more effort for full time employment. It is because of this that the Cou
3 may impute income to Mr. Frazier.
4 5. Please review my brief Supplemental Declaration and Points and Authorities in Support o
s Imputation of Income to Respondent filed on February 4, 2013 for facts and legal argument i
6 support of my client's request.
7 6. On behalf of Ms. Kostas, we have recently retained Ms. Cheryl Foden of Cheryl Foden
8 Associates, a vocational evaluator, for the purpose of giving testimony as to Mr. Frazier's ability t
9 work, career opportunities available to him, his earning capacity, his work search efforts, and a basi
10 from which she is able to provide her opinions. Her CV is attached as Exhibit 3 and her report i
11 attached as Exhibit 4.
12 7. Ms. Foden's report shows that Ms. Kostas' request to impute income to Mr. Frazier at $225,000 i
13 actually low and should instead be in the range of $350,000 to $500,000 base income plus incentive
14 for a total of a one million in total compensation with variances based on the size of the company
1s industry sector, and his skills in negotiation in the interview. He is still under his earning capacit
16 even if we impute him with income at $225,000 annually.
11 8. Ms. Foden's report also shows that there are ample jobs readily available to Mr. Frazier at his skill
18 level, but he has not taken the action to truly obtain any of these positions. He has not mad
19 reasonable efforts to find employment but instead actually shows an unwillingness to work to his ful
20 potential. Because of this, the Court may impute income to him.
21 9. Both parents have a duty to their daughters, both elementary school aged, to work to the best ofthei
22 abilities to support them. Failure to do so must be considered by this Comi and orders ought to b
23 made to support the public policy of financially suppo1iing their minor children after a divorce.
24 10. Ms. Kostas was under an Employment Efforts Order at one time, during the midst of heavy divorc
2s litigation. Based on her vocational evaluation, she should have taken a year longer to fin
26 employment than she actually did. She has exceeded the expectations of her vocational evaluatio
21 and faced her duty to her children to earn to her best potential possible.

11. Lastly, pursuant to Family Code section 217, at the June 17, 2013 hearing, Ms. Kostas will need th
2 live testimony of Ms. Cheryl Foden to testify as to the earning capacity of Mr. Frazier. As
3 vocational expert, she will be able to educate the court as to Mr. Frazier's earning potential.
4 12. Ms. Kostas will also need the minimal live testimony of Mr. Frazier as to his employment efforts
s and issues related to his current business and gaining full time employment.

11 Petitioner: KATHLEEN KOSTAS (FRAZIER) Respondent's Reply to Petitioner's

Supplemental Declaration
12 and
Dept.: 82
14
15 This paper is responsive to Petitioner's Supplemental Declaration In Support of Imputation

16 of Income to Respondent ("Supplemental Declaration").
17 I, Jeffery Frazier, declare as follows:
18 1. I am the Respondent in the above-captioned matter. We have an Employment Efforts Order
19 review hearing against me set for June 17,2013 at 9:00 a.m.
20 2. Today, June 14, 2013, Petitioner served me with her Supplemental Declaration In Support of
21 Imputation of Income to Respondent requesting that $225,000 income be imputed to me, which was
22 my salary at my lastjob from which I got laid off in October2012. At least for the reasons below, I
23 request that Petitioner's request be denied.
24 3. The vocational report of Cheryl Foden, attached to Petitioner's Supplemental Declaration,
25 contains numerous errors and is not reliable. For example:
26 • I never earned a base salary of $395,006 (Petitioner's Supplemental Dec. at p. 2)
27 • I never held the position of General Counsel (p. 3)
28
Marriage of Frazier
CaseNo:6-ll-FL-005500
J-1 Page 1 of3
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 • I never reported to the General Counsel at Life Technologies (p. 3)
2 • The recitation of my compensation package at Kateeva is almost completely wrong (p. 3)

3 • The report fails to mention that the Dow-Corning opportunity was in Michigan, not the Bay
4 Area.
5 • The report states that I have been "continuously employed throughout the years." (p. 5) To
6 the contrary, e.g., I was laid off in January 2010 and unemployed until November 2010.
7 These examples show that the vocational "expert" did not use accurate information in conducting
8 or formulating her assessment. Whether the inaccurate information is in the report because of a lack
9 of due care, "puffery" to try and make a stronger case, or some other reason, the result is the same:
10 the conclusions in the report relying upon such inaccurate information cannot be trusted.
11 4. Petitioner's Supplemental Declaration lacks relevant evidence. Not one of the seven (7)
12 attachments purporting to be job openings shows a generally current opening for a person of my
13 qualifications at a salary of $225,000 per year or greater. Most all of the attachments are irrelevant.
14 For example, taking the attachments in order:
15 1) This is a high tech position (consumer electronics) - not my expertise.
16 2) This is for a transactional attorney.
17 3) This is for a licensing attorney.
18 4) This is for NetApp - I've already applied for this and reported it to Petitioner!
19 6) This is for a transactional attorney.
20 7) This is for a person knowledgeable in computer science, electrical engineering, or the like.
21 There being a lack of relevant evidence to support her position, Petitioner's request to impute
22 income must fail.
23 5. I am currently self-employed and working to build a clientele. Simultaneously, I am
24 exploring in-house positions for which I am qualified. It is critical to me, and my children, that I
25 work in this geographic area in that Ms. Kostas and I share 50/50 custody of the children.

16 Respondent Jeffery Frazier's request for order for modification of child support and
17 spousal support came on for hearing before the Honorable Theodore C. Zayner on June 17, 2013,
18 at 9:00 am in D epartment 82. An Employment Efforts Order review also came on for hearing.
19 Petitioner Kathleen Frazier aka Kathleen Kostas ("Kathleen") appeared with her attorney Nedda
20 A. Ledgerwood and Respondent Jeffery Frazier ("Jeffery") appeared as a self-represented
21 litigant. The matters having been submitted, the Court orders as fo llows:
22
23 I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
24 The parties married on April 8, 1995. They have two daughters. Kalista was born on
25 February 5, 2002, and Lauren was born on July 29, 2005. Kathleen filed a Petition for
ORDER RE: RESPOND ENT'S REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF CHILD SUPPORT, et al.

Dissolution on January 26, 2011. Jeffery filed a Response and Request for Dissolution on March
2 4, 2011.
3 Pursuant to Stipulation and Order filed on July 1, 2011, Jeffery was required to pay
4 temporary spousal support to Kathleen in the amount of $4,657 per month, and child support in
5 the amount of $3,837 per month. These amounts were calculated based, in part, upon Jeffery
6 having a 17% timeshare and $ 18,750 in monthly wages and salary. The parties agreed to modify
7 support without the need to file a motion based upon changes to the custodial timeshare. Any
8 such modification was to be retroactive to the date of the change to the timeshare.
9 On July 31, 20 12, Jeffery filed a request for modification of child support and temporary
10 spousal support. Jeffery claimed that circumstances had changed in that his timeshare had
11 increased four times since the existing support order was issued, and Kathleen had obtained a
12 well paying job.
13 On August 22, 2012, the parties appeared for a hearing and entered a stipulation on the
14 record. The stipulation was entered as an order on April 11 , 2013 . The stipulation and order
15 states that, commencing September 1, 2012, Jeffery shall pay child support to Kathleen in the
16 amount of$1,664 per month, and temporary spousal support in the amount of $2,868 per month.
17 The parties agreed to meet and confer and modify support without the need to file a motion as a
18 result of any changes to either party's emp loyment. Any modification in support shall be
19 retroactive to the date of the change to the timeshare or income. The stipulation and order
20 incorporates a Dissomaster report showing that the support amounts are based upon Jeffery's
21 income being $18,750 per month and Kathleen's income being $5,958 per month.
22 On September 24, 2012, Kathleen filed a responsive declaration acknowledging that she
23 had just started a new contracting position on September 4, 20 12, earning $65 per hour for a
24 maximum of 25 hours per week. However, Kathleen claimed she was not currently working 25
25 hours per week.

On November 13, 2012, Jeffery filed another request for modification of the child
2· · support and spousal support. Jeffery claimed that circumstances had again changed in that he·
3 was laid off on October 8, 2012, and was now doing consulting work on a contract basis.
4 Additionally, Jeffery claimed that Kathleen had accepted a full time job with an annual salary of
5 $103,000. According to Kathleen's offer letter, she would start on October 8, 2013. Jeffery's
6 Income and Expense Declaration incorporated a copy of his final pay stubs from Kateeva. These
7 pay stubs confirm that his yearly salary was $225,000, and his employment ended on October 8,
8 2012. The check dated October 5, 2012 included payment of $17,163.82 for 158.67 hours of
9 unused vacation. The check dated November I, 2012 was for severance pay in the gross amount
10 of $17,307.69, which is the equivalent of 160 hours at his hourly rate. Jeffery's year-to-date
11 earnings for 2012 were $208,335.15.
12 On December 19, 2012, Kathleen filed a responsive declaration indicating that she would
13 consent to guideline child support. Kathleen requested income to be imputed to Jeffery at a
14 minimum of $10,000 per month as self employment income. Alternatively, Kathleen requested
15 an employment efforts order to be issued against Jeffery.
16 On January 3, 2013, the parties appeared for a hearing on Jeffery's request for
17 modification of support. Pursuant to stipulation and order, a Seek Work Order was issued
18 against Jeffery and jurisdiction was reserved over child support and spousal support from
19 January 1, 2013 forward. The Seek Work Order requires Jeffery to make at least 10 applications
20 for jobs every week and immediately register with at least five temporary employment agencies.
21 A review hearing was set for February 6, 2013.
22 On February 4, 2013, Kathleen filed a supplemental declaration and points and
23 authorities requesting the Court to impute income to Jeffery at $225,000 per year, or $18,750 per
24
25 ("CV") and a list of job advertisements for someone of Jeffery's caliber. Kathleen also presented
ORDER RE: RESPONDENT'S REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF CHILD SUPPORT, et al. K-3
-3- Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
evidence that Jeffery is renting out rooms in the family residence and earning income from the
2- ~ use of the airplane.
3 On February 5, 2013, Jeffery filed a reply claiming to be blindsided by Kathleen's
4 request to impute income at $225,000 per year. Jeffery argued that the majority of the job
5 advertisements attached to Kathleen's declaration are for "far less qualified people." Jeffery
6 claimed to be focusing on his consulting business because that is how he found his prior job.
7 The parties appeared for a status conference and employment efforts review on February
8 6, 2013. The employment efforts review was subsequently continued to March 13, 2013, then
9 April 17, 2013, then May 20, 2013, and then June 17, 2013.
10 On May 20, 2013, Jeffery filed a trial brief (concerning a separate matter) in which he
11 claimed that the family home is set to be listed for sale by June 1, 2013, for a listing price of
12 $1.795 million, which would provide $830,482 in equity for the parties to split (i.e., $415,241 for
13 Kathleen). (Page 7, lines 3-5.)
14 On June 13, 2013, Kathleen's attorney ("Ledgerwood") filed a supplemental declaration
15 in support of imputation of income to Jeffery. Ledgerwood indicated that Cheryl Foden had
16 been retained to give expert testimony concerning Jeffery's ability to work, career opportunities
17 available to him, his earning capacity, and his work efforts. Ledgerwood attached a copy of
18 Foden' s report concerning Jeffery.
19 On June 14, 2013, Jeffery filed a reply to Ledgerwood's supplemental declaration.
20 Jeffery argued that Foden's report is not reliable because it is based, in part, upon mistakes of
21 fact. Further, Jeffery argued that not one of the job openings attached to Foden's report shows a
22 current opening for a person of Jeffery's qualifications at a salary of $225,000 per year or
23 greater. Jeffery argued that "[t]here being a lack of relevant evidence to support her position,
24

working to build a clientele and exploring in-house positions for which he is qualified.
2- -However, Jeffery did not introduce any evidence as to his current self-employment income.
3 On June 17, 2013, Jeffery's request for modification of support and the employment
4 efforts review came on for hearing. Although Foden testified as an expert witness for Kathleen,
5 her report was not admitted into evidence.
6 Kathleen introduced four exhibits into evidence. Trial exhibit 1 consists of documents
7 reflecting the earnings of the parties in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Jeffery's 2007 W-2
8 shows that he earned $478,745.36 in gross pay from Applera. Jeffery's 2008 W-2 shows that he
9 earned $1,093,235.83 in gross pay from Applied Biosystems. Jeffery's 2009 W-2 shows that he
IO earned $462,284.88 in gross pay from Applied Biosystems. Jeffery's 2010 federal income tax
11 return (1040) shows that his gross wages in 2010 were $932,125. Jeffery's 2011 federal income
12 tax return (1040) shows that his gross wages in 2011 were $215,670. Trial exhibit 2 is a copy of
13 Jeffery's sworn responses to form interrogatories, dated May 26, 2011. Trial exhibit 3 is a copy
14 of a Wells Fargo bank statement for the period from May 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013. This
15 statement shows that Jeffery deposited $240,000 from a checking account x7226 to his Business
16 Market Rate Savings account x2095 on May 12, 2013. Trial exhibit 3 also shows an in-branch
17 deposit of $125,000 on June 12, 2013 in checking account x7226. Trial exhibit 4 is a copy of
18 Jeffery's EEO Update for May 2013 and part of June 2013.
19 Evidence was introduced that the parties had received a third-party offer to buy the
20 family home for $1.97 million. Jeffery had submitted a counteroffer at one dollar more, and
21 claimed the ability to buy out part of Kathleen's interest in cash, and the remainder out of his
22 share of 401 K retirement funds. The parties submitted the issue as to whether or not to accept
23 the third-party offer or Jeffery's request to buy out Kathleen's interest. On June 19, 2013, the
24 Court ordered the parties to accept the third-party offer.

ORDER RE: RESPONDENT'S REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF CHILD SUPPORT, et al. K-5
-5- Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
II. DISCUSSION
Jeffery is requesting modification of child support and temporary spousal support on the
3 grounds that his income has decreased as a result of being laid off and Kathleen's income has
4 increased as a result of her obtaining full time employment.
5 A party seeking a modification of child support must present evidence that establishes a
6 change of circumstances. (Marriage ofBrinkman (2003) 111Cal.App.4th1281, 1292.) Each
7 case stands or falls on its own facts, but the overriding issue is whether a change has affected
8 either party's.financial status. (Marriage ofLaudeman (2001) 92 Cal.App.4th 1009, 1015.)
9 In this case, there is no question that there has been at least one material change of
1o circumstances. The existing support order is based upon Kathleen having a gross income of
11 $5,958 per month. Her gross income has increased to $8,583 per month. As a result of this
12 change in circumstances, the Court will issue a modified support order.
13 However, the fact that Jeffery was recently laid off does not necessarily mean that
14 support should be calculated based upon his current actual income. It has long been the rule in
15 California that a parent's earning capacity may be considered in determining spousal and child
16 support. (Marriage of Cheriton (2001) 92 Cal.App.4th 269, 301.) For purposes of determining
17 support, earning capacity represents the income the spouse is reasonably capable of earning
18 based upon the spouse's age, health, education, marketable skills, employment history, and the
19 availability of employment opportunities. (Id.)
20 A modification proceeding by definition presumes a change in an already established
21 status quo. (Marriage ofBardzik (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 1291, 1303.) The burden of proof as
22 to ability and opportunity to earn imputed income (or lack thereof) plays out differently
23 depending on the status quo going into the modification proceeding. (Id. at 1304.) For example,
24 in the situation where the payor loses his or her job and seeks a reduction in court-ordered
---- - - - - - - - - -
25

K-6
-6- Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
support based on the changed circumstance of lack of income, it will be the payor, as moving
2 party, who bears the burden of showing a lack of ability and opportunity to earn income~ (Id.)
3 Imputation of income is never automatic. This is so even where employment is lost due
4 to misconduct. (Marriage ofEggers (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 695, 697.) Regardless of who has
5 the burden of proof, the court must reach the issues of ability to find employment and reasonable
6 opportunities to find employment. (Id. at 701.)
7 In this case, Jeffery has been proceeding as though it is Kathleen's burden to prove that
8 his earning capacity is $225,000 per year. This is incorrect. The status quo going into this
9 modification proceeding is that Jeffery earns a baseline income of $225,000 per year. Jeffery is
10 the moving party seeking a reduction in court-ordered support based on the changed
11 circumstance of lack of income. As the moving party, it is Jeffery's burden to show lack of
12 ability and opportunity to earn.
13 Notably, when Jeffery filed this motion, he presented no evidence that he lacks the ability
14 and opportunity to earn income. Instead, he simply stated that he got laid off and has "no idea"
15 how many hours and for how long his company will be able to give him consulting work.
16 In the supplemental declaration he filed on February 5, 2013, Jeffery failed to introduce any
17 evidence to show what he is currently earning and what he is capable of earning. In the reply
18 declaration he filed on June 14, 2013, Jeffery again failed to introduce any evidence to show
19 what he is currently earning and what he is capable of earning. During the seven month period
20 in which this motion has been pending, Jeffery did not file an updated Income and Expense
21 Declaration. Although Jeffery eventually stipulated to the issuance of a Seek Work Order, his
22 efforts thus far have fallen far short of the requirement of making at least I 0 applications for jobs
23 every week and registering with at least five temporary employment agencies.
24 Instead of introducing evidence to support his motion, Jeffe~-~~p~_y_o~!~ct_~d~? _____ _ ______ _
25 Kathleen's evidence. With regard to Foden's report concerning his earning capacity, Jeffery

K-7
-7- Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 claimed that the report contained mistakes concerning one of his prior base salaries, one of his
·2 prior job titles, who he previously reported to, his most recent compensation package, the
3 location of a job opportunity he turned down, and failed to mention his unemployment from
4 January 2010 until November 2010. However, these mistakes do not detract from the evidence
5 that Jeffery earned $478,745.36 in gross pay in 2007, $1,093,235.83 in gross pay in 2008,
6 $462,284.88 in gross pay in 2009, $932,125 in gross wages in 2010, and $215,670 in gross
7 wages in 2011. This evidence shows that, despite being previously unemployed for a 10 month
8 period, Jeffery's annual earnings from 2007 through 2011 never fell below $215,670. Other
9 evidence shows that, although Jeffery was laid off in October 2012, as of November 1, 2012, his
10 year-to-date earnings were $208,335.15.
11 In ruling on a request for reduction in court-ordered support, the Court may consider
12 whether the support obligor has other assets that will enable him to meet his current support
13 obligation, either in whole or in part. (Marriage ofEggers, supra, 131 Cal.App.4th at 701; State
14 of Oregon v. Vargas (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 1123, 1128.) Notably, during the pendency of this
15 modification proceeding, Jeffery claimed to have sufficient financial resources (from savings and
16 his share of 401K retirement accounts) to buy out Kathleen's interest in the family home (which
17 he estimated to be over $415,000 based upon his assumption that the house would sell for $1.795
18 million). Ultimately, the Court ordered the parties to accept the third-party offer to buy the
19 family home for $1.97 million. As a result, Jeffery will not only retain the financial resources he
20 was willing to spend to buy out Kathleen's interest in the family home, he will also have his
21 share of the net equity (which should be one-half of approximately $1 million). Thus, Jeffery
22 clearly has more than sufficient financial resources to pay support at the status-quo $225,000 per
23 year baseline income during the time period he remains underemployed, if indeed he is and
24 continues to be so, which the court finds is of his own volition.
25

K-8
-8- Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
In conclusion, although Jeffery is seeking a reduction in court-ordered support based
2 upon the changed circumstance of lack of income, he completely failed to meet his burden of
3 showing a lack of ability and opportunity to earn income. In fact, Jeffery did not present any
4 evidence that his current income from all sources (including rental income and self-employment
5 income) is, in fact, less than the $225,000 per annum upon which the existing support order is
6 based. Further, other evidence presented at the hearing on this modification proceeding shows
7 that Jeffery has other assets that will enable him to meet his support obligation based upon an
8 earning capacity of $225,000 per annum.
9 As noted previously, Kathleen's gross income has increased from $5,958 per month to
IO $8,583 per month. The evidence also shows that Kathleen has a health insurance deduction of
11 $400 per month. In light of these changed circumstances, Jeffery shall pay guideline child
12 support to Kathleen in the amount of $1,455 per month, and temporary spousal support in the
13 amount of$2,371 per month, for a total support obligation of $3,826 per month. (See
14 Dissomaster report 1.) These amounts are retroactive October 8, 2012, which is the date on
15 which Kathleen began earning $8,583 per month.
16 Once escrow closes on the sale of the family home, Jeffery will lose his income tax
17 deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes. This will result in a change of
18 circumstances that will slightly decrease guideline support. At that time, Jeffery shall pay
19 guideline child support to Kathleen in the amount of $1,221 per month, and temporary spousal
20 support in the amount of $1,854 per month, for a total support obligation of $3,075 per month.

13 demonstrate disparity in access and ability to pay (attorney's fees), the court shall make an order
14 awarding attorney's fees and costs." (Emphasis and parentheses added.)
15 Petitioner's showing of disparity in access between the parties, and Respondent's ability
16 to pay, is more than adequate. The disparity in income between the parties, with Respondent
17 earning substantially more than Petitioner, has been significant and profound throughout this
18 litigation. Although Petitioner is now gainfully employed with a job that does pay well, the
19 disparity between her income and Respondent's income and earning capacity remains
20 significant, though somewhat narrowed.
21 Petitioner's request for need-based fees and costs is GRANTED. The Court finds that an
22 award of attorney's fees and costs is appropriate, that there is and has been a disparity in access
23 to funds to retain counsel, and that Respondent is able to pay for the legal representation of both

6-11-FL-005500
$75,000 as and for attorney's fees and costs which the court finds have been reasonably
2 necessary to sustain or defend this action.
3 Regarding Petitioner' s request for sanctions, the court finds ample evidence has been
4 presented of Respondent's conduct which has frustrated the policy of the law to promote
5 settlement of litigation and reduce the cost of litigation by encouraging cooperation between the
6 parties and attorneys. Respondent has received adequate notice of Petitioner's request and has
7 had the opportunity to be heard, both parties having presented extensive briefs on these issues
8 and having agreed to submit these issues to the court for decision. Petitioner is not required to
9 demonstrate any financial need for requesting such sanctions, and the court finds that the
10 imposition of sanctions will not impose an unreasonable financial burden on Respondent.
11 Petitioner's request for sanctions is GRANTED, and Respondent is ordered to pay $30,000 to
12 Petitioner, as and for sanctions pursuant to Family Code §271.
13 The amounts awarded to Petitioner, which total $ 105,000, shall be paid by Respondent as
14 follows: either out of escrow from Respondent's proceeds of the sale of the family residence, or
15 within 10 days of the release of funds to the respective parties from escrow, whichever occurs
16 fust. If escrow has already closed by the time the parties and counsel receive this Order, and
17 funds have been disbursed from escrow to the parties and the trust account to which they have
18 stipulated, then the entire amount of $ 150,000 held in trust shall be disbursed forthwith to
19 Petitioner. The remainder of the amounts ordered herein shall be paid to Petitioner directly by
20 Respondent within 10 days of this order. If escrow has not yet closed, Petitioner shall be paid the
21 entirety of$105,000 out of escrow from Respondent' s share of the sale as set forth above.
22 With this Order, the amount of $ 150,000 which the parties had agreed to hold in trust
__,
?" pending the court's decision may be disbursed directly to the parties from escrow in accordance
24 with the terms of this Order, rather than to counsel's trust account.

Respondent's Requ ests
2 The Court does not find a sufficient factual or legal basis to support any of Respondent's
3 requests for sanctions. Respondent has not met his burden of proof on any of the issues
4 presented. This includes Respondent's request that Petitioner bear the entire cost of the child
s custod.y evaluation - Respondent does not clearly set forth on what legal basis he relies for this
6 request, which is sufficient to deny it. Assuming Respondent meant to include this request for
7 reimbursement as a sanction under §271, the court does not find a sufficient factual or legal basis
8 for imposing such a sanction, just as the cowt has found with respect to the requested sanctions
9 that are more clearly described by Respondent as based upon §27 1. The court finds insufficient
lo evidence has been presented to support a claim of breach of fiduciary duty and sanctions as a
11 result of such alleged breach. The court does not find a sufficient, adequate factual or legal basis
12 to award prevailing party fees under §6344, nor to award sanctions under §3027 .1. All of
13 Respondent's requests for sanctions or payments are DENIED.
14 Regarding Respondent's request that certain portions of the court file be sealed, this
15 request is DENIED. Respondent has not brought the motion required by California Rule of Court
16 2.551. Moreover, Respondent has not presented a sufficient factual basis for the court to make
17 the findings required by Rule of Court 2.550(d).

Respondent's Declaration in Support of Request for Order M-9
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
1
3. The last child and spousal support order on file does not actually reflect the current support
2
amounts. Pursuant to the Stipulation and Order filed on July 1, 2011 , I owed Kathy
3
temporary spousal support of $4,657 per month and tempor~y child support of $3,837.
4
However, this Stipulation was based on Kathy having primary custody of our two daughters
5
(now we have 50/50) and was also based on Kathy having no income. This Stipulation
6
reserved the right to retroactively modify child and spousal support to account for periodic
7
increases in my custody timeshare of our daughters, and for any changes in Kathy's income.
8
From the date of the July 1, 2011 Stipulation and Order for child and spousal support, my
9
timeshare with our daughters increased four times, but support was never officially modified.
10
Additionally, Kathy obtained part-time employment and support was likewise not officially
11
modified to reflect this change.
12
4. At the hearing on August 22, 2012, Kathy and I agreed on the record to modify child and
13
spousal support according to guideline calculations. We agreed on the record that I would
14
pay Kathy guideline child and spousal support based on the fact that we now share 50/50
15
custody of our daughters, and Kathy was working part-time. We also stipulated on the
16
record to reserve the issue of my overpayments of support during the time that my custodial
17
time increased and Kathy obtained new employment. At the time of the August 22"d hearing,
18
Kathy was working part-time, but she had received an offer at a higher hourly rate with
19
Nook.
20
5. Subsequent to the August 22"d hearing, we have not finalized an Order After Hearing. My
21
attorney drafted a Stipulation and Order and provided it to Kathy and her attorney to review.
22
Due t o disagreement over its content, this Stipulation and Order has never been signed.
23
However, since the August 22, 2012 hearing, Kathy and I have adhered to the Orders made
24
that day regarding the modification of child and spousal support, and I have been paying
25
$1,664 per month in temporary child support, and $2,868 per month in spousal support. This
26
is the order I am seeking to modify.

I REQUEST A MODIFICATION OF CHILD AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT BECAUSE
1 KATHY AND I BOTH EXPERIENCED A RECENT CHANGE IN OUR
RESPECTIVE INCOME.
2
6. On October 8, 2012, I was informed in a letter from my employer, Kateeva, Inc. that my
3
position was being eliminated and that I was being laid off from the company effective
4
immediately. A copy of the letter that I received from my employer will be made available at
5
the time of the hearing and is not attached hereto due to its confidentiality. Thus, I am no
6
longer earning $18,750 per month in gross salary. Fortunately, I have an opportunity to
7
perform consulting work for my company and I have been given some work to perform on a
8
contract basis since I was laid off. However, I have no idea how many hours and for how
9
long my company will be able to give me work. I have not yet been paid and my hours, work
10
load, and work-related expenses remain unknown at this time. I will bring all consulting
11
documents to the next court hearing or file an updated Income and Expense Declaration in
12
advance of the hearing.
13
7. At the August 22, 2012 hearing, Kathy's attorney informed the court that she was offered
14
part-time contract work with Nook, and was considering the offer. Kathy never informed me
15
directly or through our attorneys whether she ended up accepting the job with Nook.
16
However, on October 9, 2012, my attorney received an email from Kathy' s attorney stating
17
that she accepted full-time salaried employment with Rocket Fuel, and would earn $103,000
18
annually plus benefits. Attached hereto is a true and correct copy of Kathy's Offer
19
Letter as Exhibit "A."
20
8. Based on the changes to our respective incomes, I am requesting that the Court calculate
21
guideline support that accurately reflects our earnings. Since the last Stipulation and Order
22
was entered, Kathy has gone from zero income to an income of $103,000, and our custody
23
arrangement for our two daughters is now an equal timeshare. I respectfully request that
24
child and spousal support be modified to reflect the positive changes in my life and in
25
Kathy's life going forward.

2 PROCEEDINGS
3 (Whereupon, Court convened and the following
4 proceedings were had:)
5 THE COURT: Line 5 is Kathleen Frazier and Jeffery
6 Frazier.
7 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Good morning. Nedda Ledgerwood
8 for the petitioner who is present.
9 MR. FRAZIER: Jeff Frazier. I'm representing
10 myself.
11 THE COURT: All right. I don't remember exactly
12 what we have left because you've actually gotten a few
13 things filed since the last time I saw you.
14 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Right, Your Honor. What I
15 understood based on my recollection as to what was supposed
16 to happen today is we agreed at the April 17th, 2013
17 Mandatory Settlement Conference that we would submit the
18 issue of attorneys fees, costs and sanctions by pleadings
19 today and exchange that today. So, that's one thing we were
20 supposed to do.
21 The other thing is to have an employment efforts review
22 of Mr. Frazier. And then I also wrote down that we're
23 supposed to have a support trial setting status conference.
24 So, for a time estimate, I would just spend 5 minutes
25 going through what I know of Mr. Frazier's employment effort
26 review and then we can set on the short cause calendar a
27 hearing for support.
28 THE COURT: Is --

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 MS. LEDGERWOOD: And, excuse me. And for
2 imputation of income.
3 THE COURT: Okay. Have the parties filed papers
4 on the attorneys fees issues?
5 MS. LEDGERWOOD: I have not. And I have
6 Mr. Frazier's copy as well as the Court's copy. Did you
7 want me to submit that to you or file it at --
8 THE COURT: Well, you should file it first and
9 then submit it to me. But that was my recollection as well,
10 we had a pending attorneys fees matter that was supposed to
11 be submitted, that we had the --
12 MS. LEDGERWOOD: This is Mr. Frazier's.
13 THE COURT: -- employment efforts review and our
14 calendar does show that this was continued, it doesn't say
15 status conference, but it was continued, the trial was
16 continued, but, of course, this is not the trial calendar,
17 so it would have been for setting --
18 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Right.
19 THE COURT: -- of the issues on support and
20 imputation.
21 And how much time do you think you need on the
22 employment efforts?
23 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Review?
24 THE COURT: Yeah.
25 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Five minutes. I don't need to do
26 any examination. I really just want to give you what I know
27 about his employment efforts.
28 THE COURT: All right. And, Mr. Frazier, do you

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 generally agree that's what we have left in front of us
2 right now?
3 MR. FRAZIER: That sounds right to me.
4 MS. LEDGERWOOD: All right. And, Your Honor --
5 Mr. Frazier, do you have your fees to be submitted today by
6 the pleadings?
7 MR. FRAZIER: I do.
8 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Okay. So, we can exchange that
9 right now and then you'll call our matter?
10 THE COURT: Yes.
11 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Thank you, Your Honor.
12 THE COURT: Thank you.
13 (Whereupon, the matter was passed.)
14 THE COURT: All right. We're back on the record.
15 If everybody could come forward now on the Frazier
16 matter, line 5.
18 THE COURT: All right. Thank you. And I
19 apologize for making you wait. In retrospect, your matter
20 would have been one of the briefer matters. And I apologize
21 it took us a while to get there.
22 MS. LEDGERWOOD: And, Your Honor, I have one quick
23 question with regard to the fee pleading that we submitted,
24 we exchanged. I did not include, and I can include it if
25 you want, the fee statements for the attorney that was on
26 the case before me. I didn't think you'd want that, but if
27 you want that, I can include it. I included all of mine. I
28 identified how much was spent on that attorney but if you

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 want to see the actual statements, I can submit that to the
2 Court.
3 THE COURT: I think that would be appropriate.
4 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Okay.
5 How, how soon do you want it? Do you want it today
6 or --
7 THE COURT: Well, how soon can you get them?
8 MS. LEDGERWOOD: How soon can you get them?
9 MS. KOSTAS: I think, I think I can get them by
10 the end of the day tomorrow would be safe.
11 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Oh. You have to get it by the
12 morning tomorrow, because I'll be on a plane Wednesday.
13 MS. KOSTAS: Okay.
14 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Okay.
15 THE COURT: Okay.
16 MS. LEDGERWOOD: I'll submit it tomorrow and send
17 a copy to Mr. Frazier.
18 THE COURT: That's fine.
19 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Is email okay?
20 MR. FRAZIER: Uh-hum.
21 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Thank you. Sorry about that.
22 THE COURT: Okay. And, again, we're here, you
23 wanted to report on employment efforts and then we're to set
24 the matter for a further hearing on support.
25 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Right, Your Honor. I, I've been
26 receiving on somewhat of a monthly basis Mr. Frazier's
27 employment efforts. And I just would like you to review
28 them as well as one other document.

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 And, basically, what I've seen is that Mr. Frazier's
2 efforts have significantly decreased since the order was
3 made on January 3rd, 2013. I will be requesting an
4 imputation of income. I do not think he is complying with
5 the current orders. I know what the rule is with regard to
6 imputing income. I see that he's been able to work and has
7 the opportunity to work, so an imputation will be
8 appropriate.
9 He was making $225,000 at the Cativa (phonetic) which
10 was his last job and that job ended October of 2012. I had
11 hoped and had been flexible with Mr. Frazier even though I
12 had not been getting reports on time, I had hoped that
13 something more permanent would have been secured or that his
14 consulting business would have improved and it has not and
15 you can see in the first two pages of the spread sheet that
16 the efforts have just dwindled.
17 And at the hearing that we will have on support, I plan
18 on asking an imputation retroactive to the date that his
19 motion was filed to modify support on November 13th, 2012 or
20 in the alternative perhaps the date that we enter into the
21 EEO which was January 3rd, 2013. And the second set of
22 documents that I've provided you is just a quick update that
23 I got yesterday for patent, patent attorney positions that
24 are available in Silicon Valley. And at this point, I
25 believe Mr. Frazier should have found permanent employment
26 or more income or contracting jobs for his consulting
27 company.
28 If you're to say that it's been tough lately, things

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 have been hard, he's had personal issues, that's no
2 different than what my client has gone through. She was
3 displaced from the family residence back in January of 2011.
4 And by 2012, after having been out of the work force for
5 years, she found contract work and she's built up and now
6 she's got a permanent position, and it's going well.
7 So, I want to see someone, who is Mr. Frazier, who has
8 been recently employed and gainfully employed, making more
9 during the marriage to only be on the upward scale.
10 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Frazier, these
11 documents with the exception of the web print-out of
12 apparent, an apparent job opportunity or job opportunities,
13 the other ones are documents that you prepared; is that
14 right?
15 MR. FRAZIER: The spread sheet?
16 THE COURT: Yes.
17 MR. FRAZIER: Yes, sir.
18 THE COURT: Okay. Thank you.
19 Do you wish to add anything at this point understanding
20 that we need to set a hearing on support and, of course,
21 I'll take evidence on the information that's relevant at
22 that time, your request to modify and counsel's request to
23 impute income?
24 MR. FRAZIER: I don't know how much there is to
25 really add at this point. It might wait best until we're
26 actually talking about imputing income.
27 I will mention that there are only so many jobs that
28 I've found that come open, you know, each week or each month

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 that are $225,000 a year jobs for people that are Bio Tech
2 patent attorneys within commuting range from where my
3 daughters live. And so there were more jobs open early on
4 when I was first looking than there have been recently. So,
5 I, I'm just not seeing the jobs so many much anymore to
6 apply to.
7 So, the opportunities that Ms. Ledgerwood just
8 provided, if they're anything like the evidence she attached
9 to, to her request to have income imputed to me in her last
10 request she filed, they didn't show, they didn't show the
11 technical background of the person. I'm Bio Tech. A lot of
12 them that did state the technical background of computer
13 science or engineering. That's not me. A lot of them were
14 for very junior people that weren't for me, you know, when I
15 looked through them. Most of them don't state the salary
16 range. And a lot of them were just too terse to tell really
17 what they were about.
18 I see one here, one to three years of post law school
19 experience. They were just off point. So I didn't see them
20 really showing opportunity.
21 THE COURT: All right.
22 Ms. Ledgerwood, how much time do you think we need for
23 the hearing on support, on spousal support and on
24 imputation?
25 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Fifteen minutes on my side,
26 Your Honor.
27 THE COURT: Okay. And let me just try and
28 pinpoint what order we had calendared or what motion we had

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 calendared, if you will.
2 This was Mr. Frazier's motion, wasn't it?
3 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Yes.
4 THE COURT: Okay. Do you remember the filing
5 date?
6 MS. LEDGERWOOD: I believe the filing date was
7 November 13th, 2012. Either the 13th or the 18th and
8 then --
9 THE COURT: No, I see -- well, I see an endorsed
10 file November 13th and here's the original which is the
11 request for order to modify child and spousal.
12 And is this, again, are we talking only about spousal
13 support or both?
14 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Child support, spousal support,
15 and thus, the imputation.
16 THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Frazier, do you agree with
17 that time estimate?
18 MR. FRAZIER: So, this was my motion we're saying?
19 THE COURT: Right.
20 MR. FRAZIER: And my understanding was that from
21 my motion that we agreed that there wasn't going to, I'm,
22 I'm a little confused I'm not pursuing that motion at this
23 time.
24 THE COURT: That's why I was asking, because it's
25 not nominally on --
26 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Your Honor.
27 THE COURT: -- calendar or, yes, it is.
28 This is, this is respondent's spousal support,

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 attorneys fees and costs, sanctions and that refers back to
2 the November 13th, 2012 request for order.
3 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Right. And when we filed a
4 stipulation and order including the employment efforts order
5 on January 3rd, 2013, the issue of child support and spousal
6 support was reserved pending Mr. Frazier's job status and
7 his income. So, support hasn't been exchanged since January
8 of 2013. I have a tally going. I had hoped that his
9 employment would have been improved by now or been on the
10 upward path. So, that's why the issue is reserved which is
11 why we need a hearing date, because the issues are open
12 right now.
13 THE COURT: Well, but the stipulation and order
14 set support for the time being, right?
15 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Right. But it's reserved and
16 subject to modification, because we knew things would be
17 changing going forward. He's contracting and has his own
18 business right now, so it fluctuates like mine and we don't
19 know what's going on with his income. That's why we needed
20 to come back and try to resolve it.
21 THE COURT: Okay. So, in a sense, with the
22 reservation, this is a request that you wish to proceed
23 with, because you don't want to, you don't think it's
24 appropriate to continue with the current support orders
25 because of the evidence you wish to present and the argument
26 for imputation of income.
27 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Correct. And it would be an
28 exercise I can do, but waste of time of the parties for me

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 to file a separate motion just to keep it going. I'm just
2 utilizing what's already there.
3 THE COURT: Okay. I understand.
4 And I do think we can do this on a regular law and
5 motion calendar.
6 How much time out would you like to set this?
7 MS. LEDGERWOOD: 30 days.
8 THE COURT: Okay. All right. What I'm going to
9 do is see if we have time on one of our Monday morning
10 calendars, because sometimes our Monday calendars, which are
11 attorney only, tend to be a little lighter set just in case
12 we need a little more time.
14 THE CLERK: June 17th at 9 o'clock. There's
15 nothing set yet.
16 MS. LEDGERWOOD: June 17th is fine.
17 THE COURT: Does that work for you, Mr. Frazier?
18 MR. FRAZIER: Sure.
19 THE COURT: Okay.
20 So, what I'll do is this. I guess for our calendar
21 purposes, we're continuing the support matters for event 1
22 on our calendar, which was request for order, to have
23 further hearing on June 17 at 9 o'clock and that's also
24 consistent with the parties' reservation of those issues in
25 the prior stipulations and order.
26 As it is certainly relevant to the argument regarding
27 imputation of income, I'll continue the employment efforts
28 review to that date and time.

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 With respect to the trial matter, which is event 2 on
2 our calendar, the matter of attorneys fees is being
3 submitted by the filing of the pleadings and the
4 supplemental statements from the prior attorneys today.
5 That will be submitted tomorrow, Ms. Ledgerwood?
6 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Yes, Your Honor, just need to
7 submit the initial attorneys fees statements and that's all
8 I will be submitting. Nothing more.
9 THE COURT: Okay. So, that's submitted on
10 attorneys fees only on the pleadings and attorney fee
11 statements.
12 And we'll see everybody June 17 at 9:00.
13 Rather than lodging these at this time, I'll hand these
14 back to you, Ms. Ledgerwood, so you can, both parties can
15 update me when we see you next month.
17 MR. FRAZIER: Your Honor?
18 THE COURT: Yes, sir.
19 MR. FRAZIER: Would there be any replies with
20 these papers that we just filed today or we're not doing
21 that?
22 THE COURT: I think they can be submitted just
23 based on your respective papers.
24 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Right.
25 THE COURT: I don't need, I don't think I need any
26 replies. Let me put it this way, if I feel in reviewing
27 them that there's, I would like some further filings, I will
28 advise --

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 MR. FRAZIER: Okay.
2 THE COURT: -- both sides. Okay?
5 THE COURT: Oh, I'm sorry. Let me pause you just
6 for a moment. Sorry for this, Ms. Frazier.
7 MS. KOSTAS: That's all right.
8 MS. LEDGERWOOD: That's all right.
9 THE COURT: There's something that just jumped out
10 to me on this calendar, which is a bit of a mystery that I
11 haven't seen before and I don't know if this was just some
12 sort of inadvertent error on the clerk's office. I
13 understand your prior given name was Kostas.
14 MS. KOSTAS: Right.
15 THE COURT: And you've been referred throughout as
16 Kathleen Kostas Frazier and somehow there's an aka Cecile
17 Kostas in here which doesn't seem to make any sense.
18 MS. LEDGERWOOD: It doesn't, because Cecile is her
19 middle name.
20 THE COURT: Okay. Then I will ask the clerk to
21 take that off of the computer. And I don't know how it got
22 there, but I had not noted it before in all the hearings I
23 had before and I just saw it here.
24 MS. LEDGERWOOD: I just saw it.
25 THE COURT: Kostas made sense. Cecile Kostas as
26 an aka didn't make sense.
27 MS. LEDGERWOOD: So for accuracy, her name is
28 Kathleen Cecile Kostas.

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 THE COURT: Okay. So, your full, current name is
2 Kathleen Cecile Kostas. We're not going to put you down as
3 an aka Cecile Kostas.
4 MS. KOSTAS: Okay. Good.
5 THE COURT: All right. Thank you.

AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO SET ASIDE THE ORDERS OF AUGUST 16, 2013 - ii
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 My name is Jeffery Frazier and I am the Respondent in this matter. I have personal first-
2 hand knowledge of the facts set forth in this Declaration, and if called to testify to those facts, I
3 could and would testify competently thereto. I make this Supplemental Declaration in support of my
4 second Motion to Set Aside the orders of August 16, 2013, and I declare as follows:
5 I. INTRODUCTION AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Judgment of dissolution was entered April 17, 2013. There are two minor children, Kalista
6
Frazier, born Feb. 5, 2002, and Lauren Frazier, born July 29, 2005.
7
On May 20, 2013, I filed my Trial Brief, in which I requested section 271 sanctions,
8
prevailing party attorney’s fees, reimbursement due to breach of fiduciary duty, recovery of custody
9
evaluation fees and costs, sanctions for accusations of child abuse in a custody proceeding, and
10
sealing of portions of the record. On the same date, Petitioner filed her Trial Brief, requesting
11
imputation of income, attorney fees, and section 271 sanctions.
12
The Court entered two orders on August 16, 2013: (1) The order “FINDINGS AND ORDER
13
RE ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS” denied all of my requests for sanctions and payments, and
14
to seal the record, and granted Petitioner's requests for attorney fees and sanctions; and, (2) The
15
order “ORDER RE: RESPONDENT'S REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF CHILD SUPPORT
16
AND TEMPORARY SPOUSAL SUPPORT” provided for child and spousal support payments by
17
me, increased from a prior stipulation and order wherein no support was paid. It also imputed
18
income to me for purposes of support.
19
On October 15, 2013, I filed a Notice of Appeal from the same orders.
20
On February 19, 2014, I filed a (second) motion to set aside the August 16, 2013 orders
21
under Code of Civil Procedure section 473, subdivision (b). This submission is in support of such
22
motion, and responsive to Petitioner’s paper filed April 2, 2014 in opposition thereto.
23
II. SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
24 The Court has the authority to rectify the miscarriage of justice that has occurred in this
25 matter by (1) treating my motion to set aside as a motion for a new trial, if there are any doubts as to
26 the Court’s jurisdiction; or, (2) acting on my motion to set aside as it is, because the Court does in
27 fact have jurisdiction as no briefs have been filed, and the status of my appeal stands as “Appeal
28 dismissed for failure to file opening brief.”


O-3
Case Number
AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO SET ASIDE THE ORDERS OF AUGUST 16, 2013 - 1
6-11-FL-005500
1 The August 16, 2013 orders should be set-aside, or there should be a new trial, so there can
2 be a fair trial, where I receive reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act
3 (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act (ADAA) to make it so, and thus a fair
4 result.
5 III. THE TRIAL COURT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUE

RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE AS A MOTION FOR A
6 NEW TRIAL
If there is any doubt as to the trial court’s jurisdiction to hear my set-aside motion, it is noted
7
that the trial court has authority to treat my motion to set aside as a motion for a new trial for which
8
it certainly has jurisdiction.
9
“[W]hen a party brings a timely posttrial motion, the trial court has broad discretion to
10
determine the relief being requested.” “In Finnie v. District No. 1 — Pacific Coast Dist. etc. Assn.
11
(1992) 9 Cal.App.4th 1311 [12 Cal.Rptr.2d 348] (Finnie), the plaintiff filed a motion under section
12
663 to vacate an order and judgment of dismissal, and the Court of Appeal held it was properly
13
treated as a motion for a new trial.” Shapiro v. Prudential Property & Casualty Co. (1997) 52
14
Cal.App.4th 722.
15
16 The superior court has jurisdiction to decide a motion for a new trial while an appeal is
17 pending, because the motion is considered to be "collateral to the judgment." Weisenburg v Molina
18 (1976) 58 CA3d 478, 485, 129 CR 813.
19 “The court's jurisdiction … does not depend on whether the remedies for the two motions
20 resemble each other, but whether the trial court had the authority to grant a new trial … based on the
21 error set forth in the filed motion. [T]he fact that such power exists, if properly called into play, is a
22 persuasive factor in justifying the granting of similar relief under the circumstances.... (Jacuzzi v.
23 Jacuzzi Bros., Inc. (1966) 243 Cal.App.2d 1, 23-24 [52 Cal.Rptr. 147] [upheld ruling on motion to
24 vacate when proper procedure would have been to grant motion for new trial].)” Shapiro v.
25 Prudential Property & Casualty Co. (1997) 52 Cal.App.4th 722.
26 Code of Civil Procedure Section 657 specifies when the court may grant a motion for a new
27 trial. Section 657 states, in part:
28

O-4
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 "The verdict may be vacated and any other decision may be modified or vacated, in whole or
2 in part, and a new or further trial granted on all or part of the issues, on the application of the
3 party aggrieved, for any of the following causes, materially affecting the substantial rights of
4 such party: [¶] ... [¶] 3. Accident or surprise, which ordinary prudence could not have
5 guarded against.” (Emphasis added).
6 Here, my motion was filed as a motion to set-aside based upon mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or
7 excusable neglect. As shown below, these two bases for relief substantially equate to one another.
8 o Synonyms for "accident": “… mistake…”
9 ("Synonyms for ‘accident’" Synonyms for Accident. Synonyms360.com, n.d. Web. 06
10 Apr. 2014. <http://www.synonyms360.com/accident>. (Emphasis added)).
11 o “When something happens by accident, it's inadvertent, or unintentional.”

12 ("Inadvertent." Vocabulary.com. Vocabulary.com, n.d. Web. 06 Apr. 2014.
13 <http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/inadvertent>. (Emphasis added)).
14 o An accident can be caused by neglect.

15 Thus, in theses contexts, the phrase “accident or surprise…” substantially equates to the phrase
16 “mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect.”
17 Should the Court doubt its jurisdiction to hear my set-aside motion as such, it is respectfully
18 requested that the Court exercise its authority to treat my motion to set aside as a motion for a new
19 trial based upon “accident or surprise,” and grant such motion.
20 IV. THE TRIAL COURT HAS JURISDICTION TO HEAR
RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE BECAUSE THE STATUS
21 OF THE APPEAL STANDS AS “DISMISSED…”
My Appellant’s Opening Brief was not filed by the deadline of March 17, 2014. In fact, I
22
have not filed an opening brief at all. As of April 4, 2014, the status of my appeal stands as:
23
“Appeal dismissed for failure to file opening brief.”
24
(See Exh. A – “Case Information” from the California Court of Appeals, Sixth Appellate District
25
website). Therefore, the trial court does have jurisdiction to hear my motion to set aside.
26
V. PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR SANCTIONS SHOULD BE DENIED
27 I am not able to cover my monthly expenses with my current income. I have paid at least
28 $260 in overdraft fees since the beginning of this year, of which $70 was paid within the past ten

O-5
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 days. The Court has ordered me to pay for half of a Brief Focused Review, with $2,500 being due. I
2 need to make an emergency withdrawal (with penalty) from a retirement account simply to survive
3 and to pay my several debts to third parties – something the Court’s order of April 7, 2014 now
4 prevents me from doing. While my overwhelming preference is to use those accounts for retirement,
5 per public policy (Marriage of Olsen (1993) 14 Cal. App. 4th 1, 11 [17 Cal. Rptr. 2d 480]), I am in
6 desperate need for at least a portion of them for this emergency caused by the orders at issue here.
7 Aside from the Court’s order of April 7, 2014, I cannot access money from equity in my home, as I
8 cannot get a loan. Also, I owe my parents over $200,000 on the house, which comes due and
9 payable in less than two years, so my “equity” is essentially meaningless. Obviously, this situation
10 thrust upon me is not in the best interest of the children.
11 When I was working productively, as I have most of my life, I earned more than enough to
12 take care of all of us for quite a while. We saved so none of us would ever find ourselves struggling
13 to survive. Now, because of the orders at issue here, Petitioner is set for life, and I can barely live –
14 and I am facing potential incarceration due to the disabilities that are impacting my ability to earn.
15 Moreover, Petitioner has not cited any authority in her request for sanctions. Further, it is
16 noted, “[t]here is no statutory provision for an award of attorney fees in family law proceedings,
17 from a needy spouse to a nonneedy spouse, as a sanction or damages for inconveniencing the
18 nonneedy party.” In re the Marriage of Kerry (1984) 158 Cal.App.3d 456, 464-465.
19 Besides the fact that the $30,000 in sanctions already against me in this matter were based on
20 Petitioner’s lies to the Court, had I been capable of timely filing an Income and Expense Declaration
21 at the time of trial, it would have been clear that I was a needy spouse and Petitioner a nonneedy
22 spouse. All the more reason my motion to set aside should be granted.
23 Petitioner’s request for an additional $900 in sanctions should be denied.
24 VI. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS PROHIBIT ONE FROM

OVEREXTENDING ONESELF WHEN CAPACITY IS REDUCED
25 Not only has my mental condition, described in my set-aside motion, affected my ability to
26 procure and carry-out work, it would be ethically irresponsible for me to overextend myself during
27 the period of reduced capacity. Rule 3-110 (Failing to Act Competently), of the CA Rules of
28 Professional Conduct provides, in part:


O-6
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 (A) A member shall not intentionally, recklessly, or repeatedly fail to perform legal
2 services with competence.
3 (B) For purposes of this rule, "competence" in any legal service shall mean to apply
4 the 1) diligence, 2) learning and skill, and 3) mental, emotional, and physical ability
5 reasonably necessary for the performance of such service.
6 Acute depression or other psychological problems will not excuse violation of this rule. The State
7 Bar court will consider misconduct “willful” when the lawyer knew, or should have known, that a
8 mental, emotional or physical disability would affect his or her competent representation: Silva-
9 Vidor v. State Bar (1989) 49 Cal.3d 1071, 1074-1075, 264 Cal.Rptr. 439, 782 P.2d 680 (severe
10 psychological, physical and financial difficulties); Bradpiece v. State Bar (1974) 10 Cal.3d 742, 111
11 Cal.Rptr. 905, 518 P.2d 337 (financial and domestic difficulties).
12 Daily, I fear that I might slip up somehow in my work. Compounding my worries, I cannot
13 afford and, so, do not carry professional liability insurance. If the present imputation of income to
14 me should stand, that would be tantamount to punishing me for abiding by Rule 3-110.
15 VII. PETITIONER’S EGREGIOUS FRAUD UPON ME AND THE COURT

SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED
16 Just some of Petitioner’s lies to the Court in her Trial Brief, which greatly prejudiced me, are
17 described in my SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF JEFFERY FRAZIER and

18 MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN OPPOSITION TO PETITIONER’S
19 TRIAL BRIEF FILED MAY 20, 2013 (aka, reply brief – Exh. B). Petitioner and her attorney do
20 not deny they lied to the Court; they merely assert their lies were intrinsic in nature. (See
21 PETITIONER’S SUR-REPLY IN OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO SET ASIDE OR
22 RECONSIDER AUGUST 16, 2013 ORDERS filed 10/01/2013, at p. 10).
23 “A trial court has inherent power to set aside a judgment obtained through fraud committed
24 upon the other party or the court, and its right to do so is not derived from section 473 of the Code of
25 Civil Procedure. (Aldrich v. Aldrich, 203 Cal. 433, 264 P. 754; Rhea v. Millsap, 68 Cal.App.2d 449,
26 156 P.2d 941.)” Necessary v. Necessary (1962) 207 Cal. App. 2d 780. Among the Court’s powers
27 are its “equitable power derived from the historic power of equity courts” and “supervisory or
28 administrative powers which all courts possess to enable them to carry out their duties.” Peat,

O-7
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Marwick, Mitchell & Co. v. Superior Court, 200 Cal. App. 3d 272, 287 (1988) (internal quotations
2 omitted). The latter powers, in particular, enable a court to “control litigation before it, to prevent
3 abuse of its process, and to create a remedy for a wrong even in the absence of specific statutory
4 authority.” Western Steel & Ship Repair, Inc. v. RMI, Inc., 176 Cal. App. 3d 1108, 1116-17 (1986).
5 Further, I request that Petitioner’s attorney, Ms. Nedda Ledgerwood, be referred to the
6 California State Bar for disciplinary action (particularly, for her lie in her Trial Brief that I told the
7 listing agents (Kavanaughs) to add certain terms to the listing agreement for the Portola Valley
8 property that were not proper or authorized (See items III.C.3 and III.C.4 of my accompanying
9 SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF JEFFERY FRAZIER and MEMORANDUM OF

10 POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN OPPOSITION TO PETITIONER’S TRIAL BRIEF FILED
11 MAY 20, 2013 (Exh. B)). Otherwise her lying will continue to my detriment (e.g., as it is now in the
12 Brief Focused Assessment, which will be detailed to the Court at a later date.) (See, Dr. Karin
13 Huffer. Unlocking Justice – The Americans With Disabilities Act And Its Amendments Act Protecting
14 Persons With Disabilities In Court: Domestic Violence, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders & Other
15 Functional Impairments. Las Vegas, NV: Fulkort Press, LLC, 2012. Print.)
16 VIII. FINAL THOUGHTS AND CONCLUSION
Petitioner is terrified of what might happen if there is a fair trial. She won a tremendous, but
17
unjustified, windfall from my inadvertence, as described in my set-aside motion, and my confusion
18
around the submission of a reply brief. Recall the Court’s statement that if it would like further
19
filings [to my Trial Brief], it would ask for them. [Hearing Tr., 12-13, May 20, 2013]. As the Court
20
did not ask for reply briefs, I did not file one as I did not want to upset the Court. Further, after the
21
hearing on June 17, 2013, I could barely think of this litigation without compounding my symptoms.
22
I forwent a hearing for the trial because I became very anxious and had a difficult time
23
thinking and concentrating in a hearing setting due to my conditions. I thought I would do better in
24
writing. However, the Court asked that I “summarize and condense” my arguments and positions
25
[Hearing Tr., 10-11, April 17, 2013], which I did and which caused me to lose much
26
substance/evidence compared to what I otherwise would have submitted. The Court then denied all
27
of my requests for insufficient evidence and factual/legal bases. It was a mistake not to ask for an
28

O-8
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 ADA/ADAA accommodation of leave to file a longer brief, especially since there would be no
2 burden of a hearing on the Court. At that time, I did not have the requisite knowledge or wherewithal
3 of my conditions to make such a request. While earning my certification in ADA advocacy in the
4 winter of 2013/2014 (Exh. C), for which I earned CLE credit, I was informed of my right to have
5 such barriers to access to justice removed. This motion soon followed.
6 I submit herewith my SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF JEFFERY FRAZIER

7 and MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN OPPOSITION TO
8 PETITIONER’S TRIAL BRIEF FILED MAY 20, 2013 (Exh. B), as it was a mistake not to have
9 requested an accommodation of a continuance and filed such prior to issuance of the orders of
10 August 16, 2013. This pleading is timely since it is submitted before the hearing on the application.
11 (See County of Stanislaus v Johnson (1996) 43 CA4th 832, 51 CR2d 73, and Job v Farrington
12 (1989) 209 CA3d 338, 257 CR 210 (The requirement that the motion be accompanied by a proposed
13 pleading is satisfied by substantial compliance.).
14 “The existence of some degree of mental confusion or illness of the party moving to set
15 aside an order supports granting the motion… [W]hen setting aside a judgment will compel a
16 hearing on the merits, the trial court's determination of a motion to set aside a judgment under
17 section 473 will not be disturbed on appeal absent a clear showing of abuse of discretion.” In re the
18 Marriage of Kerry (1984) 158 Cal.App.3d 456, 466.
19 Fortunately, the Court is empowered to rectify the miscarriage of justice that has occurred in
20 this matter by (1) treating my motion to set aside as a motion for a new trial, if there are any doubts
21 as to the Court’s jurisdiction; or, (2) acting on my motion to set aside as it is, because the Court does
22 in fact have jurisdiction as no briefs have been filed, and the status of my appeal stands as “Appeal
23 dismissed for failure to file opening brief.”
24 The August 16, 2013 orders should be set-aside, or there should be a new trial, so there can
25 be a fair trial, where I receive reasonable accommodations under the ADA/ADAA to make it so, and
26 thus a fair result.

1 My name is Jeffery Frazier and I am the Respondent in this matter. I have personal first-
2 hand knowledge of the facts set forth in this Declaration, and if called to testify to those facts, I
3 could and would testify competently thereto. I make this Supplemental Declaration in opposition to
4 Petitioner’s Trial Brief filed May 20, 2013, and I declare as follows:
5 I. INTRODUCTION AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Judgment of dissolution was entered April 17, 2013. There are two minor children, Kalista
6
Frazier, born Feb. 5, 2002, and Lauren Frazier, born July 29, 2005.
7
On May 20, 2013, I filed my Trial Brief, in which I requested section 271 sanctions,
8
prevailing party attorney’s fees, reimbursement due to breach of fiduciary duty, recovery of custody
9
evaluation fees and costs, sanctions for accusations of child abuse in a custody proceeding, and
10
sealing of portions of the record. On the same date, Petitioner filed her Trial Brief, requesting
11
12
II. ARGUMENT
13 A. This reply brief is appropriate since arguments and attachments
were presented for the first time in Petitioner’s trial brief.
14 Numerous arguments and attachments were presented for the first time in Petitioner’s Trial
15 Brief. Albeit the parties waived a hearing, I did not waive my right to reply. Speaking about filings
16 beyond the Trial Briefs, Judge Zayner stated: “[I]f ... I would like some further filings, I will advise
17 both sides.” [Hearing Tr., 12-13, May 20, 2013] However, if I am given no forum to present
18 opposition argument and evidence, I may be substantially prejudiced.
19 “Denying a party the right to testify or to offer evidence is reversible per se.” In re Marriage
20 of Carlsson (2008) 163 Cal.App.4th 281, 291. A trial judge should not determine any issue that is
21 presented for his consideration until he has heard all competent, material, and relevant evidence the
22 parties desire to introduce.'" (Elkins v. Superior Court (2007) 41 Cal.4th 1337, 1357-1358,
23 quoting Shippey v. Shippey (1943) 58 Cal.App.2d 174, 177.) In Elkins v. Superior Court, the Court
24 emphasized, ‘“One of the elements of a fair trial is the right to offer relevant and competent evidence
25 on a material issue... denial of this fundamental right is almost always considered reversible error”’
26 Elkins v. Superior Court (2007) 41 Cal.4th 1337, 163 P.3d 160.
27
28

1 1. Since all of Petitioner’s arguments for sanctions are
new, denial of the right to reply would constitute a
2 violation of due process
It would be error to prevent me from presenting evidence to challenge the basis for any
3
sanction award, the reasonableness of the fees and the hourly rates. (See, In re Marriage of Duris
4
and Urbany (2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 510, 515.) “[S]ummary imposition of attorney fees as sanctions
5
is not consistent with due process procedural protections.” Id; see also, In re Marriage of Flaherty
6
(1982) 31 Cal.3d 637, 652, 183 Cal.Rptr. 508, 646 P.2d 179.
7
“[I]t is basic that counsel must have the opportunity to be heard on the issue before sanctions
8
can be imposed” Brekhus & Williams v. Rhodes (1988) 198 Cal.App.3d 788, 793. “In a proceeding
9
to determine whether an attorney's conduct justifies sanctions, there must be a sufficient opportunity
10
to present opposing evidence.” In re Marriage of Duris and Urbany (2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 510,
11
514; See, In re Marriage of Quinlan (1989) 209 Cal.App.3d 1417, 1422. “Summary proceedings are
12
common in family law cases. Nevertheless, however certain a court may be that a party or an
13
attorney in a family law proceeding deserves sanctions, it must keep in mind an immutable principle
14
that cuts across all areas of the law: sanctions may not be summarily imposed. Due process demands
15
more.” In re Marriage of Duris and Urbany (2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 510, 511.
16
Moreover, quite apart from the issue of a separate hearing, notice that the court is considering
17
the imposition of sanctions must be given before findings on the sanctions issue are made and at a
18
time preceding the trial judge's decision whether to assess sanctions. [Bergman v. Rifkind & Sterling,
19
Inc. (1991) 227 CA3d 1380, 1387, 278 CR 583, 587). This has not been done.
20
B. Petitioner failed to provide a current income and expense
21 declaration.
Court rules require that current income and expense declarations be filed when the trial court
22
is awarding attorney fees. Cal. Rules of Ct, rule 5.128 (repealed effective January 1, 2013) requires
23
current income and expense declarations, including attorney fees information, when relevant to
24
issues. A party seeking attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, or costs must comply with Cal. Rules of Ct,
25
rule 5.427 (renumbered from Rule 5.93 effective January 1, 2013) which identifies the process that a
26
party must complete to request or respond to a request for attorney fees and costs, and the court
27
28
2
O-15
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 process for making an order with respect to attorney fees and costs. Among the requirements are the
2 submission of current income and expense declarations.
3 C. Petitioner failed to verify her trial brief; therefore, it should be

stricken.
4 Family Code (FC) §212 expressly requires all pleadings filed under the Family Code to be
5 verified. "A petition, response, application, opposition, or other pleading filed with the court under
6 this code shall be verified." A verification is an affidavit of the truth of the matter stated. (CCP
7 §446(a).) A verification’s object is to assure good faith in the averments or statements of a party to
8 litigation. Star Motor Imports, Inc. v. Superior Court (1979) 88 Cal.App.3d 201, 204 151 CR 721,
9 723. Petitioner’s Trial Brief was subscribed by her attorney, but not verified as required.
10 All Judicial Council Forms requiring verification contain a preprinted verification for
11 signature. Juridical Council Form FL-300 is adopted for mandatory use and as such contain the
12 preprinted required verification for signature. Contrary to these statutes, Petitioner failed to use a
13 Request for Order form. There was no verification. Lacking a properly verified pleading, the court is
14 without authority to consider it and assess fees and sanctions, nor can it award support.
15 D. Petitioner’s requests for fees and sanctions are not supported

by evidence sworn under penalty of perjury.
16 Petitioner provided attorney argument, submitted invoices from her attorney and accountant,
17 and submitted a spreadsheet in support of her request for attorney’s fees and sanctions. However,
18 nothing that she provided in or with her Trial Brief was itself sworn under penalty of perjury.
19 1. Fees – Monetary liability cannot be imposed based on
speculation or on opposing counsel's unsworn
20 statements.
The absence of sworn evidence “disclosing the nature and extent of counsel's services”
21
would hamper the trial court's ability to make fact findings. (In re Marriage of Cueva (1978) 86
22
Cal.App.3d 290, 303, 149 Cal. Rptr. 918.) It cannot impose monetary liability based on speculation
23
or on opposing counsel's unsworn statements. (In re Marriage of Reese & Guy (1999) 73 Cal. App.
24
4th 1214, 1222, fn. 5, 87 Cal. Rptr. 2d 339) “Without ascertaining whether or at what hourly rate the
25
work for which reimbursement was sought was actually done, much less that the work was
26
‘reasonably necessary’ ..., the trial court could not properly find that imposing” liability for the other
27
28
3
O-16
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 spouse's legal fees was appropriate. (In re Marriage of Keech (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th 860, 869, 89
2 Cal.Rptr.2d 525.)
3 E. Petitioner’s requests for fees, sanctions, and support lacks

substantial evidence.
4 Petitioner’s Trial Brief is almost entirely attorney argument. No declarations under penalty of
5 perjury were submitted with it. Petitioner failed to provide substantial evidence for any of her
6 requests.
7 Pleadings are allegations, not evidence, and do not suffice to satisfy a party's evidentiary
8 burden. (San Diego Police Officers Assn. v. City of San Diego (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 1736, 1744.)
9 The Court cannot rely on non-evidence, such as an attorney’s unsworn statements (County of
10 Alameda v. Moore (1995) 33 Cal. App. 4th 1422, 1427 [40 Cal. Rptr. 2d 18]).
11 “[S]ubstantial evidence is not just any evidence; it must be believable evidence. "’Substantial
12 evidence’ is evidence of ponderable legal significance, evidence that is reasonable, credible and of
13 solid value.” Roddenberry v. Roddenberry (1996) 44 Cal.App.4th 634, 651. The substantial evidence
14 test requires "more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might
15 accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Consol. Edison Co. v. NLRB, 305 U.S. 197, 229, 59
16 S.Ct. 206, 217, 83 L.Ed. 126 (1938).
17 F. Inadequate notice was provided regarding sanctions.

Petitioner did not provide sufficient notice of her claims for section 271 sanctions. While
18
general notice may have been provided that Petitioner would seek sanctions, the specific conduct or
19
amount for which she would seek sanctions was not provided until she actually served the Trial Brief
20
itself on May 20, 2013. No notice was provided to me prior to the request for the sanctions. Thus, as
21
a matter of law, it would be improper for the trial court to impose a sanction under Family Code
22
section 271 (In re Marriage of Davenport (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1507, 1529.)
23
Family Code section 271, subdivision (a), provides for the award of attorney's fees as a
24
sanction. "An award of attorney's fees and costs as a sanction pursuant to this section shall be
25
imposed only after notice to the party against whom the sanction is proposed to be imposed and
26
opportunity for that party to be heard." (Fam. Code, § 271, subd. (b).)

6-11-FL-005500
1 Further, Petitioner’s Trial Brief contains both specified and unspecified conduct, which
2 unspecified conduct includes: “... engage in frivolous litigation and arguments with additional costs.”
3 Notice "must also advise of the specific grounds and conduct for which the fees or sanctions
4 are sought, and must be directed to the specific person against whom they are sought. [Citation.]" (In
5 re Marriage of Davenport (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1507, 1529.)
6 G. There was a complete lack of evidence that Petitioner was in

need of an award of fees.
7 “There is no statutory provision for an award of attorney fees in family law proceedings,
8 from a needy spouse to a nonneedy spouse, as a sanction or damages for inconveniencing the
9 nonneedy party.” IRMO Kerry (1984) 158 Cal.App.3d 456, 464-465, 204 Cal. Rptr. 660.
10 H. Petitioner failed to follow local and state rules on her request

for fees.
11 In applying for attorney fees and costs, counsel must follow Cal Rules of Ct 5.427 and 5.92,
12 as well as the directions of Form FL-300. To request fees and costs, Item 5 of Form FL-300 must be
13 checked. In addition, counsel should submit a Request for Attorney’s Fees and Costs Attachment
14 (Judicial Council Form FL-319) (or a declaration that addresses the factors in that form) and a
15 Supporting Declaration for Attorney’s Fees and Costs Attachment (Judicial Council Form FL-158)
16 (or a declaration that addresses the factors in that form), along with a current Income and Expense
17 Declaration (Judicial Council Form FL-150). These declarations must provide the court with
18 sufficient information about the nature and difficulty of the case, the skill and experience required
19 and possessed by counsel, the time required, why the requested fees and costs are just, necessary,
20 and reasonable, and any other pertinent factors. See Cal Rules of Ct 5.427(b); Marriage of Cueva
21 (1978) 86 CA3d 290, 296. The requesting party must include an Income and Expense Declaration
22 (Judicial Council Form FL-150) as part of an application for fees (Cal Rules of Ct 5.92, 5.427), and
23 ensure that it lists the information required in that form regarding attorney fees and costs. Cal Rules
24 of Ct 5.427(b).
25 Local Family Rule 4 (Attorney’s Fees and Costs), Part A (Fee Requests) provides, “When a
26 party has requested attorney’s fees (either pendente lite or after judgment), both parties shall file a
27 current Income and Expense Declaration with attached paystubs, which shall be served along with

6-11-FL-005500
1 the Application, Request for Order, or Responsive Declaration requesting fees.” Part B provides that
2 a written fee declaration shall be provided for requests over $1,000, and sets out the details thereof.
3 I. Should the Court award Petitioner fees, it must consider my

ability to pay in the manner awarded.
4 In the absence of current financial information, the Court would not be able to determine
5 whether I could actually pay any fee award in the manner awarded.
6 In Marriage of Schulze, a pendente lite fee award to wife was reversed as an abuse of
7 discretion because, among other things, the court failed to consider husband's ability to pay at the
8 rate ordered; Marriage of Schulze (1997) 60 Cal. App. 4th 519, 531-532, 70 CR2d 488, 496-497.
9 J. The Court must base any spousal support decision on the

standard of living that was established during the marriage.
10 The Court must make findings as to the standard of living that was established during the
11 marriage, as that is a critical component in a permanent spousal support order.
12 The Court must base any spousal support decision on the standard of living that was
13 established during the marriage. [FC §4330(a).] The Court must make specific factual findings about
14 the standard of living during the marriage. [FC §4332.] (See In re Marriage of Smith (1990) 225
15 Cal.App.3d 469, 491-493, 274 Cal. Rptr. 911; In re Marriage of Rosen (2002) 105 Cal.App.4th 808,
16 130 Cal.Rptr.2d 1). In ordering spousal support, the trial court must consider "[t]he needs of each
17 party based on the standard of living established during the marriage." (Fam. Code § 4320(d).)
18 K. The DissoMaster program cannot be used in calculating long-
term spousal support.
19 While the court may use a computer program or guideline to calculate a temporary spousal
20 support amount pending trial in the matter, the DissoMaster cannot be used in calculating permanent
21 support. (In re Marriage of Olson (1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 1, Permanent spousal support order based
22 on DissoMaster reversed for failure to consider all 4320 factors.) The spousal support component of
23 a permanent family support order must be based on the statutory factors enumerated in section 4320
24 of the Family Code, not pegged to a number generated by a computer program intended for use in
25 calculating temporary support. In re Marriage of Schulze (1997) 60 Cal. App. 4th 519, 70 Cal. Rptr.
26 2d 488.
27 In that this case is now post-judgment, it would not be proper to employ the DissoMaster
28 program in calculating long-term spousal support.

O-19
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 L. An impermissible retroactive spousal support order must be
avoided.
2 In modifying a spousal support order because either spouse is unemployed, the Court must
3 make the order retroactive to the later of (1) the date the moving papers were served or (2) the date
4 of unemployment, unless it finds and states on the record good cause for not making the order
5 retroactive. [FC §3653(b).]
6 Here, the date of unemployment is October 8, 2012. The moving papers were served
7 November 13, 2012.
8 M. Any imputation of income to me would require findings that it

is in the children's best interest.
9 Should the trial court impute income to me, it must find that imputing earning capacity to me
10 would be in the children's best interest. (In re Marriage of Ficke (2013) 217 Cal.App.4th 10 [held it
11 was an abuse of discretion for the judge to impute income to a custodial parent without a finding, supported
12 by substantial evidence, that such an imputation was in the best interest of the children.]). Certainly, the use
13 of outdated financial information, would foil that effort.
14 No authority permits a court to impute earning capacity to a parent unless doing so is in the
15 best interest of the children. By explicit statutory direction, the court's determination of earning
16 capacity must be "consistent with the best interest of the children." Fam. Code § 4058, subd. (b); In
17 re the Marriage of David R. & Iris M. Fraser Cheriton, (2001) 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 755.
18 Moreover, “it is counterintuitive – often counterproductive – to impute income to a custodial parent,
19 because the objective effect of such an imputation will be to reduce the money otherwise available for the
20 support of any minor children.” In re Marriage of Ficke (2013) 217 Cal.App.4th 10.
21 N. The burden of proof regarding my opportunity to work is upon

Petitioner
22 I explicitly stated on the record that I was not pursuing my motion for a modification of
23 support. Further, the Court and Petitioner acknowledged that Petitioner assumed my motion:
26 MR. FRAZIER: ... I'm a little confused I'm not pursuing that motion at this time.
27 ....
28
7
O-20
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 THE COURT: ... this is a request that [to Petitioner] you wish to proceed with,
2 because [to Respondent] you don’t want to, [to Petitioner] you don’t think it’s appropriate to
3 continue with the current support orders because of the evidence you wish to present and the
4 argument for imputation of income.
5 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Correct. And it would be an exercise I can do, but waste of
6 time of the parties for me to file a separate motion just to keep it going. I’m just utilizing
7 what’s already there.
9 Thus, Petitioner is the party seeking a change to the status quo. "If one parent seeks to
10 modify an existing order so as to have income imputed to the other parent, the parent seeking
11 imputation - that is, in that context, the parent seeking to overturn the status quo - bears the burden
12 of proof of showing that the other parent has the ability and opportunity to earn that imputed income.
13 [Citations.]" (In re Marriage of Bardzik (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 1291, 1294.) As can be seen,
14 Petitioner is the moving party, not me. Accordingly, the burden should be on Petitioner to prove an
15 opportunity to work. Petitioner has failed to carry such burden, so there should be no imputation to
16 me. In re Marriage of Wittgrove (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 1317, 16 Cal.Rptr.3d 489 [no imputation
17 at OSC where parent seeking order imputing income based on earning capacity failed to present any
18 competent evidence other parent had ability or opportunity to earn imputed income].)
19 O. I submitted evidence relevant to my opportunity to work
Regarding a lack opportunity to work, I testified under oath, in part:
20
MR. FRAZIER: ... there are only so many jobs that I've found that come open, you
21
know, each week or each month that are $225,000 a year jobs for people that are Bio Tech
22
patent attorneys within commuting range from where my daughters live. And so there were
23
more jobs open early on when I was first looking than there have been recently. So, I, I'm just
24
not seeing the jobs so [ ] much anymore to apply to.
25
So, the opportunities that Ms. Ledgerwood just provided, if they're anything like the
26
evidence she attached to, to her request to have income imputed to me in her last request she
27
filed, they didn't show, they didn't show the technical background of the person. I'm Bio
28
8 O-21
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Tech. A lot of them that did state the technical background of computer science or
2 engineering. That's not me. A lot of them were for very junior people that weren't for me, you
3 know, when I looked through them. Most of them don't state the salary range. And a lot of
4 them were just too terse to tell really what they were about.
5 ... They were just off point. So I didn't see them really showing opportunity.
6 As well, further proving a lack of opportunity to work, Petitioner’s counsel and her
7 vocational expert were unable to provide relevant job advertisements despite their combined efforts.
8 III. KATHLEEN FRAZIER AND MS. LEDGERWOOD LIED TO THE

COURT AND THERE IS EVIDENCE PROVING FALSENESS
9 Included among Ms Ledgerwood’s lies1 are:
10 A. Kathleen knowingly and purposefully understated her income

1. Lie
11 Kathleen’s “Income from airplane rental” was “$0” for 2011-2013 (Pet’r Tr. Brief, p. 3). It is
12 noted, as well, that Kathleen’s income and expense declarations, albeit outdated, have not shown any
13 income from the airplane since she started this litigation.
14 2. The Truth
Kathleen consistently received one half of the income from the airplane rental. This is
15
evidenced by the operating agreement of Looking Up LLC (Kathleen being a 50% member),
16
Exhibit A, and Kathleen’s 2011 income tax return which shows her reporting 50% of the income
17
(Exhibit B). The income from the airplane rental was $17,939 in 2011, and $41,220 in 2012 (Pet’r
18
Tr. Brief, p. 3).
19
3. Lie
20 “When Kathy first filed for divorce in January 2011, she had absolutely no income...” (Pet’r
21 Tr. Brief, p. 7).
22 4. The Truth
Kathleen’s 2011 income tax return (Exhibit B) shows her reporting 50% of the income from
23
the airplane rental business, Looking Up LLC.
24
25
26
1
Penal Code 118 makes it a crime to commit perjury and Penal Code 127 makes it a crime to suborn perjury.
27
28
O-22
9
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 5. Lie
“A comparison of Jeff and Kathy's respective incomes from 2009 to present clearly reveals
2
Kathy has had no income both prior to the parties' separation and during the majority of this
3
dissolution proceeding.” (Pet’r Tr. Brief, p. 8).
4
6. The Truth
5 By agreement (Exhibit A), Kathy has shared equally, every year, in the income from
6 Looking Up LLC (airplane rental) since the business began in 2004.
7 7. Lie
“He [Jeff] currently earns substantial additional income from ... renting his airplane.” (Pet’r
8
Tr. Brief, p. 8) (emphasis added).
9
8. The Truth
10 It was not only Jeff’s airplane. The airplane was owned by Looking Up LLC. Kathleen was a
11 50% member of the LLC, along with Jeff. So, via the LLC, Kathleen owned 50% of the airplane.
12 B. Kathleen falsely inflated my use of her accounting expert
1. Lie
13 “Jeff agreed to pay Mr. Peth for time Jeff used to further understand Mr. Peth’s accounting”
14 (Pet’r Tr. Brief, p. 5).
15 2. The Truth
There was no such agreement. I was invoiced by Mr. Peth for an amount corresponding to
16
the agreed-upon time together, and I paid the amount of the invoice. If I had agreed to more, why
17
didn’t Mr. Peth invoice me for it?
18
C. Having no grounds, Kathleen invented reasons why the Court
19 should sanction me
1. Lie
20 “Kathy did not know why they would continue litigating [reimbursement claims] if he was
21 already in agreement, but still he forced the issue to hearing, which was a complete waste of the
22 Court's and the parties' respective time and resources.” (Pet’r Tr. Brief, p. 12)
23 2. The Truth
At least twice, I emailed Kathy (as Kathy said she wanted to work directly with me [Exhibit
24
C]) asking her to cancel or continue the August 1, 2012 hearing because the parties were in
25
agreement. See Exhibit D for my emails to Kathy, of July 16, 2012 and July 30, 2012. Kathy never
26
responded about the agreed-upon reimbursements.
27
3. Lie
28 From Petitioner’s Trial Brief, pp. 12-13:
10
O-23
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 “3b... Jeff proceeded to confuse Judge Mills as to the current status of the sale,
2 causing Judge Mills to believe that the parties had already selected a listing agent. Ms.
3 Ledgerwood was therefore required to send additional e-mails to Judge Mills in an effort to
4 rectify this problem...
5 c. Following Judge Mills' order, Jeff proceeded to make matters even worse by telling
6 the Kavanaughs to include additional terms into the proposed listing agreement that were not
7 part of any court orders and claiming that they were in accordance with Judge Mills' previous
8 e-mails to the parties. The Kavanaughs became very confused and contacted Ms.
10 d. Between May 2nd and May 3rd alone, Ms. Ledgerwood had to send numerous
11 separate e-mails to Judge Mills, Jeff, and the Kavanaughs simply to clarify the explicit orders
12 from the court orders and to advise that no additional terms were to be added to the listing
13 agreement. It was only after Ms. Ledgerwood requested an additional Settlement Officer
14 Conference with Judge Mills that Jeff finally agreed to sign the listing agreement in the
15 judge's presence. Over 16 emails, telephone calls to coordinate the SOC, telephone calls
16 with the agent, preparation for the SOC, and the SOC appearance all occurred because Jeff
17 created an issue for his own benefit, one that did not exist, and resulted in wasting the Court's
18 and Kathy's respective time and resources (Exhibit E).”
19 4. The Truth
I never told the Kavanaughs to put any additional language into any listing agreement.
20
See the attached email from Ginny Kavanaugh to Nedda Ledgerwood stating that the “+$1”
21
term did not come from me and that she, Ginny, would not be comfortable not disclosing such a
22
term. (Exhibit E). See also the attached email from Ginny Kavanaugh to me wherein Ms.
23
Kavanaugh states that I did not tell her to insert any terms into the listing agreement (Exhibit F). In
24
fact, before Petitioner filed her Trial Brief, I told Ms. Ledgerwood, directly and in person, that I did
25
not say these things she was attributing to me. Continuing with her lie, or at least exhibiting a
26
reckless disregard for the truth, she sought sanctions anyway.
27
28
11
O-24
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 5. Lie
“Jeff told Kathy he was going to remove her from his health insurance because she had called
2
the police to protect her against Jeff during an event where she feared for her safety.” (Pet’r Tr.
3
Brief, p. 11).
4
6. The Truth
5 I never told Kathy I was going to drop her from my insurance.
6 7. Lie
“Kathy later found out that Jeff accessed, without Kathy's agreement, her email account ...
7
without her knowledge or consent.” (Pet’r Tr. Brief, p. 14).
8
8. The Truth
9 As stated in my declaration in this matter dated February 11, 2011 (Exhibit G):
10 “17. ... In truth, she invited me to read her email at any time (after I happened upon a flirtatious
11 email with a male friend relating sexual information about me) as she claimed she had nothing to
12 hide. Further, we willingly provided access to one another's email and calendars this past spring and
13 summer, when Petitioner assisted me with consulting work.”
14 It is also true that Kathleen and her attorney accessed my iPad without my agreement, and
15 without my knowledge or consent.

16 D. Contrary to Kathleen’s false assertion, my past support
payments have been a model of timeliness and regularity
17 1. Lie
“Jeff’s payments towards Kathy's spousal support were very irregular and varied greatly
18
from month to month.” (Pet’r Tr. Brief, p. 7) (Emphasis added).
19
2. The Truth
20 The attached print-out shows support payments sent automatically from my Wells Fargo
21 checking account to Kathleen from 9/1/11 to 12/3/12 (Exhibit H). As can readily be seen, for the
22 amounts and the time period complained of by counsel for Petitioner, the payments are extremely
23 regular and change in dollar amount only once by stipulation.

24 IV. CONCLUSION
There are numerous substantive and procedural errors with Petitioner’s Trial Brief that are
25
fatal to her requests.
26
27
28
12
O-25
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Further, Petitioner and her counsel committed fraud upon the Court by making numerous
2 false statements in their Trial Brief. A trial court has inherent power to set aside a judgment
3 obtained through fraud committed upon the other party or the court, and its right to do so is not
4 derived from section 473 of the Code of Civil Procedure. (Aldrich v. Aldrich, 203 Cal. 433, 264 P.
5 754; Rhea v. Millsap, 68 Cal.App.2d 449, 156 P.2d 941.) Further, the Court should strike
6 Petitioner's Trial Brief with prejudice as a sanction. (Per the courts' "equitable power derived from
7 the historic power of equity courts" and "supervisory or administrative powers which all courts
8 possess to enable them to carry out their duties." Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. v. Superior Court,
9 200 Cal. App. 3d 272, 287 (1988) (internal quotations omitted). The latter powers, in particular,
10 enable a court to "control litigation before it, to prevent abuse of its process, and to create a remedy
11 for a wrong even in the absence of specific statutory authority." Western Steel & Ship Repair, Inc. v.
12 RMI, Inc., 176 Cal. App. 3d 1108, 1116-17 (1986).

ATTACHMENT TO REQUEST FOR ORDER
I, JEFFREY FRAZIER, declare as follows:

I am the Respondent in the above-referenced case. I have personal knowledge of the facts contained
herein. If called to testify, I could and would testify competently to these facts, and hereby submit this
Declaration in support of my Request for Order for Reconsideration or in the alternative set aside of the
(1) Findings and Order Re Attorneys Fees and Costs filed August 16, 2013; and (2) Order re:
Respondent's Request for Modification of Child Support and Temporary Spousal Support.
THERE ARE NEW FACTS AND EVIDENCE NOT CONSIDERED BY THE COURT
WHICH WOULD MAKE A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE AND LEAD TO DIFFERENT
ORDERS. FURTHER, I AM NOT A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY AND I MADE MISTAKES
AND IF THE COURT DOESN'T RECONSIDER THE ORDERS THEN I REQUEST THEY
BE SET ASIDE BASED ON MY MISTAKES.
1. At the time of trial, the following facts and evidence now available were not considered, but will
make a material difference and result in different orders:
a) The court did not have my current income. I mistakenly did not file an updated Income and
Expense Declaration.
b) The court did not have any documents that accurately reflected my actual consulting income
earned. I now have my Profit and Loss Statements to show actual earnings.
c) My 2012 tax returns show the sharp decrease in income that I experienced when I lost my job and
began consulting full time, which was not available at the time .ofthe June 17, 2013 hearing.
d) At the end of the hearing the court ordered me to provide all documentation regarding my income
to opposing counsel and I did so, but it was not provided to the court and thus the court could not
make orders based on this new evidence.
e) I believe that the court based its order for Family Code 271 Sanctions largely on my alleged non-
compliance with the EEO even thought the Order did not state a reason, but I did not know at the
time that I had to include all of the efforts made to grow my consulting business. Moreover, the

court did not have the proper evidence of the long-standing nature of Petitioner' s sanctionable
conduct.
f) The court stated the orders were in part based on the assumption I would get 50% of $1 ,000.000
from the sale of the family residence. I got $287,789.
g) The court indicated it relied on rental income I have from the family residence, but it has been
sold and I no longer have it.
h) The court indicated it relied on rental income I had for the use of my Cessna airplane, but it was
sold to pay my own living expenses due to the decline in my income.
RELEVANT FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
2. Petitioner and I married on April 8, 1995 and separated after more than 15 years of marriage. We
have two daughters together, Kalista (DOB 02/05/2002) and Lauren (DOB 7/29/2005). We had a
contentious custody case wherein I spent over $150,000 to prove myself a fit father and to disprove
the malicious lies and misrepresentations that Petitioner made against me through a series of
attorneys that she retained. I ultimately prevailed, but only after limited time with my daughters and
the excruciating and financially draining litigated custody processes which resulted in a 50/50
schedule, as I had proposed at the beginning of litigation.
3. On August 22, 2012, I filed a request to modify child and spousal support, since I discovered that
Petitioner had obtained a well paying job at 25 hours per week and because my timeshare with the
children had increased after the extended evaluation process finally concluded. We entered into a
Stipulation and Order that decreased the amount of support I paid to Petitioner.
4. I was laid off from my job at Kateeva in October 2012 and when I was unable to find other work I
began to work on a consulting basis making less money than my previous salary, and spent equal
efforts building the consulting practice but also looking for another W-2 job. I thereafter discovered
that Petitioner had obtained full time employment earning approximately $103,000 annually. I filed
another motion for modification of child and spousal support on November 13, 2012. This Motion
was eventually set for hearing along side the issue of attorney's fees and costs for June 17, 2013.

6-11-FL-005500
5. On August 16, 2013, the court issued orders for support and attorney's fees that came as a shock to
me, because they are based on assumptions that do not account for new facts and evidence that
materially affect the financial orders issued. Orders for child and spousal support were based on an
imputation of income to me at my old salary of $225,000 as evidenced by the last Income and
Expense Declaration that was filed on November 13, 2012. I have profit and loss statements and
spreadsheets from my consulting income that show that I am earning far less than I was during the
last four years of our marriage. Moreover, the court relied on only the last four years of income to
determine whether I should be imputed at my former salary and never considered whether these years
were characteristic of my overall earnings. I was ordered on June 17, 2013 to provide these financial
documents to Petitioner's attorney, and I provided everything I had available at the time. The court,
however, never had the ability to consider these highly relevant documents before issuing orders.
These financial documents will reveal the many inaccuracies in the expert testimony provided by
Cheryl Faden. Last, the judge relied on the anticipated amount of profit that I was to receive from the
sale of the family residence, but this amount ended up being far less than expected; instead of
receiving 50% of $1 million, I only received $287,879, which I have used for the purchase of a new
home. It was assumed that I would have approximately half a million dollars available liquidity with
which to pay attorney's fees and costs, but this is not the case. Lastly, the court ordered imputation
of income and attorney's fees to be paid in part by relying on the assumption that I would continue to
have extra income from the rental unit attached to the family residence and from rents received for
use of my Cessna private airplane. Since the time of trial, both assets have been sold. Since the time
of the trial, facts have come to light that seriously call into question the accuracy of my financial
situation as presented by Petitioner and her counsel.

ADDITIONAL FACTS AND EVIDENCE THAT WAS NOT CONSIDERED OR AVAILABLE AT
THE TIME OF TRIAL WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IMPUTED
WITH $225,000 ANNUAL INCOME FOR SUPPORT PURPOSES AND THAT I CANNOT AFFORD
TO PAY $105,000 IN ATTORNEY'S FEES.
6. I am seeking reconsideration of the Court' s ruling that I be imputed with $225,000 annual income
and reconsideration of the $105,000 in fees that I have been ordered to pay to Petitioner. The
following new facts and evidence are directly relevant to the orders issued:
a) The Court relied on an Income and Expense Declaration filed on November 13, 2012, but I
now have my current Profit and Loss Statements and a new Income and Expense
Declaration: At the time of trial on June 17, 2013, the only Income and Expense Declaration
that was on file for me was from November 13, 2012, right after I was laid off from Kateeva.
Petitioner relied on my former salary to argue that I should be imputed with the same, but the
court never received evidence to the contrary because I mistakenly failed to file a current Income
and Expense Declaration. Thus, the court was never able to properly consider my actual earnings
from my consulting business. My current Income and Expense Declaration along with a current
Profit and Loss Statement, is filed herewith, and shows that my consulting income from
September 2012 through August 2013 is $31,954. Likewise, my 2012 draft tax return, which was
also unavailable at the time of trial, demonstrates the decrease in my actual earnings. In the three
months that worked as a consultant, I only made a profit of$10,239 in 2012. Attached hereto is a
copy of my 2012 draft tax return as Exhibit A. The court stated in its ruling that it relied only on
evidence presented by Petitioner, as no rebuttal evidence was presented, despite ordering that I
provide current income documentation to Petitioner's attorney, which I did. However, in order to
ensure a fair and just ruling under the law, the court needs to consider this new evidence and
weight it in light of all the facts and circumstances.
b) My Social Security Statement of Earnings demonstrates that my earnings for the last five
years of our marriage were uncharacteristically high: Petitioner presented evidence by and

Respondent's Declaration in Support of Request for Order for Reconsideration of 08/ 16/2013 Court Orders
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
through Cheryl Foden regarding my ability and opportunity to earn based on my employment
history, but the court did not have the opportunity to consider my actual historical earnings. First
of all, Ms. Foden's report was filled with inaccuracies, as I summarized in my Trial Brief. For
example, I never earned a base salary of $345,000, and I was not continuously employed
throughout our marriage. What's more, Petitioner's attorney failed to move Ms. Foden's report
into evidence, so it cannot be properly considered. At the time of trial, my actual historical
earnings were not presented as rebuttal evidence against Ms. Foden's testimony. However, I now
have a copy of my historical earnings, which show that over the course of 30 years, I never
earned over $200,000 for 20 of them. Attached hereto is a copy of my Social Security Earnings
Statement as Exhibit B. My actual historical earnings should have been considered, as the court
relies heavily on Ms. Foden's testimony regarding the last five years of my gross earnings.
c) The court did not have an opportunity to consider the efforts I made to expand my
consulting business when I was operating under the Employment Efforts Order: When I
submitted to the Employment Efforts Order, Petitioner's attorney told me that she "didn't care if I
searched for three jobs per week." Thus, while I was under the EEO and compiling my seek
work logs to comport with what Petitioner's attorney had told me to do, I did not know at the time
that I was supposed to report the efforts I was making to expand my consulting business. During
the time that I was subject to the EEO, I made the following efforts with respect to my consulting
business: I initiated a Yodel internet campaign and followed numerous leads, as shown by the
leads attached as Exhibit C; submitted several proposals for more consulting work, and example
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D; I engaged in numerous networking events, telephone
conferences, client meetings, for which detailed EEO tracking spreadsheets are attached as
Exhibit E. These efforts were never presented to the court as evidence of my compliance with
the EEO, which directly impacted the court's decision to impute me with my former base salary
for support purposes. I mistakenly did not include this information at the time because I did not
know I was supposed to do so.
d) I am in the process of purchasing a house for which I may have to liquidate my retirement

Respondent's Declaration in Support of Request for Order for Reconsideration of08/ 16/2013 Court OrdersP-9

account, and I used the $287,879 I received from the sale of our family residence, so I do not
have access to the liquidity the court assumed I would have when it ordered imputation of
income and attorney's fees paid: The court relied on the assumption that I was to receive 50%
of $1,000.000 from the sale of the family residence when the court ordered me imputed with
income and ordered that I pay attorney's fees out of the sale proceeds of the family residence. I
only received $287,879. Attached hereto are copies of the closing documents for the family
residence demonstrating the amount I received as Exhibit F. Additionally, I am in the process of
purchasing a home, and I have used $250,000 of the proceeds from the family residence as a
down payment on a modest home with a purchase price of $875,000. I am borrowing the
difference. Thus, I do not have access to nearly $1 million in liquidity as the court assumed when
it ordered me to pay fees out of the sale proceeds of the family residence when I was ordered to
be imputed with $225,000 annual income for support.
e) The court relied on evidence of my other assets in determining whether to impute me with
income and order fees that I no longer own: The court mentions other assets that were
considered when deciding to impute me with $225,000 in income for support and need based
fees; namely, the court referenced evidence of income I received in the past from the rental unit at
the family residence and the Cessna private plane. The home is sold and I will have no more
rental income. My new home is simple and does not have a rental unit. Furthermore, I had also
sold the aircraft as my income has been down for almost a year and I needed the sales proceeds,
as I went through almost all of my liquid money fighting for custody of my two children. The
court assumed that I would continue to have access to assets that have since been sold when
determining whether to impute me with income and when my need and ability to pay fees was
analyzed. This new evidence, however, demonstrates that the assumption I could rely on these
sources was incorrect.
7. Due to the new facts and evidence presented herein, I request that this court stay orders for child
and spousal support and attorney's fees pending reconsideration of the orders made on August 16,
2013, and issue new orders consistent with this new evidence.

8. I have timely filed this motion for the court to reconsider its orders and make appropriate orders
given my earnings are $31 ,954 and guideline child and spousal support should be $1 ,646 payable
to me! However, in the event the court declines my request for a reconsideration of the two
orders then I seek to have them set aside on the basis of my mistake, excusable neglect, surprise,
or inadvertence under Cal. Code Civ. Pro. §473(b).

4 On August 16, 2013, the court issued orders for support and attorney's fees pursuant to
5 which Respondent was imputed with his former base salary of $225,000 annually for purposes of
6 support and was ordered to pay a total of $105,000 in attorney's fees to Petitioner. The orders were
7 served by mail on August 19, 2013 and received by Petitioner approximately August 23, 2013 and
8 despite not having the financial resources, he immediately borrowed the money to re-hire Ms.

9
admits to making many mistakes that led to the court not having the information necessary to make
10
accurate orders. There is new evidence, as set forth in the declaration filed herewith, and there are

II. LEGAL ARGUMENT
15
16 A. Respondent's Motion for Reconsideration is Timely and Appropriate under Code of

Civil Procedure§ 1008(a)
17 Respondent's Motion for Reconsideration is timely pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure§
18 1008(a) as it has been filed within ten days of service of the written notice of entry of the court
19 order. The California Code of Civil Procedure § 1008(a) states:
20 (a) When an application for an order has been made to a judge, or to a court, and
refused in whole or in part, or granted, or granted conditionally, or on terms, any
21 party affected by the order may, within 10 days after service upon the party of
written notice of entry of the order and based upon new or different facts,
22 circumstances, or law, make application to the same judge or court that made the
order, to reconsider the matter and modify, amend, or revoke the prior order. The
23
party making the application shall state by affidavit what application was made
24 before, when and to what judge, what order or decisions were made, and what
new or different facts, circumstances, or law are claimed to be shown.

1 Here, the court order was filed and served on August 19, 2013 and the notice of entry of
2 order was also provided on August 19, 2013. Since Respondent is submitting his Motion for
3 Reconsideration prior to the August 29, 2013 deadline, his motion is timely.
4
5
B. The Court should Reconsider the Order for Modification of Child and Spousal
6 Support and Attorney Fees Pursuant to Family Code §§2030, 2032, and 271 Due
to New Facts that Have Come to Light.
7 As argued more fully in Respondent's Motion for Reconsideration, Orders for child and
8 spousal support were based on income to Respondent at his former salary of $225,000. This was
9 based on the Income and Expense Declaration that was filed on November 13, 2012. The court
10 never had the opportunity to consider Respondent's current profit and loss statements and
11 spreadsheets from his consulting income that show that he is earning far less than he was during the
12 last four years of the marriage. His 2012 draft tax return, unavailable at the time of trial,
demonstrates the decline in actual earnings. At the end of the hearing it was apparent this
13
information was needed and the court ordered him to provide it to Petitioner's counsel, but it was not
14
provided to the Court.
15
Moreover, the court relied in part on the last four years of income but never considered
16
whether these years were characteristic of Respondent's overall earnings. The facts are that
17
Respondent had one good job that provided stock due to the company buyout and three of those
18
years were reflective of the stock sales that did not occur prior and have not occurred since. These
19
amounts were anomalies The court was provided with only a skewed sense of his income and not a
20 true average. Since that time Respondent has gathered his Social Security summary information and
21 can now show the new evidence that his income history was not as Cheryl Foden and Petitioner's
22 counsel represented to the court.
23 Further, the Court relied on the anticipated amount of profit that the parties were to receive
24 from the sale of the family residence. The court indicated it was somewhere close to 50% of
25 $1,000,000 but instead Respondent only received $287,879, which Respondent has since used for
the purchase of a new home.

Aside 6-11-FL-005500
Lastly, the court ordered imputation of income and attorney's fees to be paid in part by
2
relying on the assumption that Respondent would continue to have extra income from the rental unit
3 attached to the family residence and from rents received for use of his Cessna private airplane. Since
4 the time of trial, both assets have been sold.
5 These new facts and evidence seriously call into question the accuracy of Respondent's
6 financial situation as presented by Petitioner and her counsel, on which the court relied almost
7 entirely in issuing its orders.
8
c. The Court's Order regarding Payment of Child and Spousal Support and
9 Attorney Fees under Family Code §§ 2030, 2032 and 271 Should be Stayed Until
There is a Final Determination of Respondent's Motion for Reconsideration.
10
Respondent should not be required to pay child and spousal support or attorney's fees
11
consistent with the August 16, 2013 court orders until his Motion for Reconsideration has been
12 decided and in the event it is not granted, then upon hearing for his motion to set aside the orders
13 based on mistake, as clearly mistakes were made. Respondent needs an opportunity to show the
14 court his profit and loss (which did not exist at the time of the hearing), his 2012 tax return (which
15 did not exist at the time of the hearing), and the social security summary of earnings that he has since
16 obtained to show the court was misrepresented as to his historical earnings.
17 The court considered Respondent's ability to pay attorney's fees to Petitioner and his alleged
failure. to comply with the EEO in issuing attorney's fees and costs and sanctions, and made several
18
assumptions about his earning capacity and his income from other assets. However, Respondent has
19
new evidence to demonstrate that he did not receive the amount anticipated from the sale of the
20
family residence, and that he does not have access to the level of liquidity that the court anticipated,
21
and that he does not have rental income from either the family residence or the plane. When the
22
court made determinations about need-based fees, it relied on circumstances that have since changed
23
and assumed income from assets that are no longer available.
24
Additionally, the court considered Respondent's alleged lack of compliance with the EEO
25 when determining Sanctions pursuant to Family Code Section 271, but Respondent can present new
26 evidence that he only tracked the efforts to look for outside positions and did not know that he was

to have tracked the extensive efforts he made to build his consulting business. The court did not
2 have the evidence. It is possible Respondent erred in not knowing what to put down on his sheet -
3 but the bottom line is that the court made a finding based on incomplete and not factual evidence and
4 that the new evidence would lead to a different conclusion.
5 D. In the Alternative, The Orders Issued by the Court on August 16, 2013, should
6 be Set Aside due to Mistake, Inadvertence, Surprise, or Excusable Neglect under
7 Cal. Code Civ. Pro. §473(b).
8 The California Code of Civil Procedure §473(b) states "The court may, upon any terms as
may be just, relieve a party or his or her legal representative from a judgment, dismissal, order, or
9
other proceeding taken against him or her through his or her mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or
10
excusable neglect.... " There is a strong public policy in favor of granting relief under CCP §473.
11
Marriage ofStevenot (1984) 154 Cal.App.3d 1051 (emphasis added).
12
In the present case, Respondent failed to file a new Income and Expense Declaration causing
13
the court to inadvertently rely on outdated information supplied 7 months before the time of trial.
14
That Income and Expense Declaration did not present an accurate picture of Respondent's current
15 income, and should not have been relied upon. While Respondent did provide evidence of each
16 consulting check and expense to Petitioner, he mistakenly assumed that was sufficient. However, the
17 court did not have this information. He made a mistake in not presenting it.
18 Respondent made a mistake in not providing evidence to refute the inaccurate income history
19 presented by Petitioner. Respondent has been unemployed for almost one year and did not realize
20 the court would rely on limited period of years where he made stock in one company. He has never
had earning years like those in the past and they have not occurred since. Respondent can now show
21
his social security income summary and the court can see his true earning capacity. This is new
22
evidence or it was a mistake not to provide it, but either way the court must ~nsider the true
23
evidence.
24
Additionally, Respondent made a mistake in relying on Petitioner's attorneys' word that she
25
didn't care how many jobs he applied to each month; she stated that as long as he was making an

effort, it could be three per week. Respondent did not understand that he should have also kept
2 detailed logs of his efforts to build his consulting business and that these efforts would serve to
3 satisfy the EEO. Respondent is now going back in time and studying his email and calendar and will
4 be able to establish he was working very hard to build his consulting practice and increase his
5 income. His failure to do so prior to the hearing was a mistake (but one which happens to many
6 people at EEO hearings).
7 The Respondent received approximately 50% less than the court anticipated from the sale of
8 the house and a 100% less than the court anticipated from the rental income from the family
residence and the rents from the aircraft. Had Respondent known that the court would rely on

residence and his assets that he had at the time, Respondent would have presented evidence to
11
demonstrate that the court was misguided in its assumptions. These facts clearly call for a motion
12
for reconsideration but in the alternative clearly a mistake was made that needs to be rectified.
13
The new facts and evidence presented in Respondent's Motion for reconsideration strikes at
14
the very heart of the considerations made by this court when determining to impute respondent with
15 his former salary and when assessing need and ability to pay and Sanctions for attorney's fees.
16 Since these matters are now directly back in controversy in front of this court, it is proper to stay the
17 August 16, 2013 court orders until a determination regarding Respondent's Motion for
18 Reconsideration is made. In the alternative, the Order Re Respondent's Request for Modification of
19 Child Support and Temporary Spousal Support filed August 16, 2013 and the Findings and Order Re
20 Attorney's Fees and Costs filed August 16, 2013 shall be set aside pursuant to Cal. Code Civ. Pro.

Whether it is reconsidered or set aside, the two August 16, 2013 Orders should be stayed so
2 that the Court can hear the true facts and evidence. Staying the orders simply preserves the status
3 quo until the matter can be heard. There is no prejudice to Petitioner, as she is flush with the
4 substantial monies from the sale of the family residence and, unlike Respondent, is gainfully
5 employed full time. Respondent simply seeks justice under the law.

Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Motion for Set Aside
2 I. BACKGROUND
3 Petitioner and Respondent married on April 8, 1995 and separated after more than 15 years of
4 marriage. The parties have two daughters together, Kalista (age 12) and Lauren (age 8).
5 On August 22, 2012, Respondent filed a request to modify child and spousal support, since he
6 discovered that Petitioner had obtained a well-paying job at 25 hours per week and because his
7 timeshare with the children had increased. The parties entered into a Stipulation and Order that
8 decreased the amount of support paid to Petitioner.
9 On October 8, 2012, the day Respondent was laid off from his job at Kateeva, Inc., Petitioner
10 obtained full time employment earning well over $100,000 a year. While looking for a new full-time
11 job, Respondent attempted to do consulting work, but was only able to make a small fraction of his
12 prior income. In light of Petitioner's full-time job, Respondent filed another motion for modification
13 of child and spousal support on November 13, 2012. This motion was eventually set for hearing
14 alongside the issue of attorney's fees and costs for June 17, 2013.
15 On August 16, 2013, the court issued orders for support and attorney's fees. For purposes of
16 support, Respondent's former base salary of $225,000 annually was imputed to continue regardless o
17 the fact that he had been laid off. Respondent was ordered to pay $105,000 in attorney's fees to
18 Petitioner. The orders were served by mail on August 19, 2013.
19 On August 29, 2013, Respondent filed a motion for reconsideration of and, in the alternative,
20 to set aside the August 16 orders. This motion was denied at the hearing on October 3, 2013.
21 Following the August 16 orders, on October 31, 2013, Petitioner filed a motion demanding
22 Respondent cash out a substantial portion of his retirement funds and, in addition, several weeks
23 later, on January 8, 2014, she filed a contempt motion against him in attempt to force payment and
24 have Respondent incarcerated. Respondent, however, is unable to pay, being nearly broke,
25
considering bankruptcy, and struggling to provide for himself and his two girls.
26
Exacerbating all of the above, is the fact that Respondent has been suffering from chronic and
acute effects of mental illnesses, detailed in Section II, below.

1
Respondent reminds the Court, that it is in this context that he has acted as his own attorney
2
throughout the proceedings pertinent to this motion.
3 II. LEGAL ARGUMENT
4
The Court Should Set Aside These Adverse Orders Based on Mistake, Inadvertence,
Surprise, and/or Excusable Neglect under Code Civ. Proc.§ 473(b)
5
A. Respondent's Motion to Set Aside is Timely and Appropriate Under Code Civ. Proc.
§473(b).
6
Respondent's Motion to Set Aside is timely pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure§ 473(b) as it
7
has been filed within six months of service of the written notice of entry of the court orders.
8
California Code of Civil Procedure§ 473(b) states:
9
Application for this relief shall ... be made within a reasonable time, in no case exceeding six
10 months, after the judgment, dismissal, order, or proceeding was taken.
11 Here, the court orders were filed on August 16 and served on August 19, 2013 and the notice of
12 entry of order was also provided on August 19, 2013. Since Respondent is submitting his Motion to
13 Set Aside by the February 19, 2014 deadline, the motion is timely.
14 B. Grounds for Relief is Provided in Code Civ. Proc. § 473, Favoring a Hearing on the
15
Merits.
Code Civ. Proc. § 473, subdivision (b), provides that the trial court may relieve a party from a
16
judgment "taken against him or her through his or her mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable
17
neglect." This provision "applies to any 'judgment, dismissal, order, or other proceedings."' (Zamora
18
v. Clayborn Contracting Group, Inc. (2002) 28 Cal.4th 249, 254.) This is a remedial measure to be
19
liberally construed, and any doubts existing as to the propriety of setting aside a default thereunder
20
will be resolved in favor of a hearing on the merits (Berman v. Klassman ( 1971) 17 Cal. App. 3d 900,
21
910, 95 Cal. Rptr. 417).
22
C. The Court Will Set Aside a Default upon a Very Slight Showing.
23
In Kesselman v. Kesselman (1963) 212 Cal.App.2d 196, the appellate court noted: "'The rules of
24
practice applicable to divorce actions differ in many respects from those which govern other actions.
25
In an action for divorce, upon very slight showing the court will set aside a default, if application for
26
relief be made in due time."' (Id at p. 207.)

D. "Excusable neglect" May Be the Result of a Disability.
2 "Excusable neglect" may be the result of a disability. The court may infer the existence of mental
3 confusion or illness from the whole record before it. (In re Marriage of Kerry (1984) 158 Cal.App.3d
4 456, 465-466; Kesselman v. Kesselman (1963) 212 Cal.App.2d 196, 207-208; see also, Judge L.

6 Inadvertence, and Excusable Neglect)." Sacramento Lawyer Nov./Dec. 2009: 8-9. Web. 17 Feb.
7 2014.)
8 E. Depression Meets the Definition of Disability under Antidiscrimination Laws.
9 "Numerous cases under state and federal law have held that depression and its related
10 manifestations can meet the definition of disability under antidiscrimination laws. (citations)" Auburn
11 Woods I Homeowners Association v. Fair Employment and Housing Commission (2004) 18
12 Cal.Rptr.3d 669, 679, 121 Cal. App. 4th 1578.
13 F. The Law Protects Manifestations of an Invisible Disability as Part and Parcel of the
Disability.
14
The law provides protection for those with invisible disabilities. In Gambini v. Total Renal Care
15
Inc., 486 F.3d 1087 (9th Cir. 2007), for example, an employee with bi-polar disorder was discharged
16
after she cursed, shouted, and threw papers at her supervisors during a meeting about her
17
performance. Reversing a verdict in favor of the employer, the court held the jury should have been
18
instructed: "Conduct resulting from the disability.. .is part of the disability and not a separate basis for
19
termination." The Court wrote that it was "reasonable [to] infer that [Gambini's] 'violent
20
outburst' ... was a consequence of her bipolar disorder, which the law protects as part and parcel of
21
her disability ... if the law fails to protect the manifestations of her disability, there is no real
22
protection in the law because it would protect the disabled in name only."
23
G. Medical Testimony Is Not Required For Granting Relief Under Code Civ. Proc. § 473.
24
When defaults are caused by illness, the courts have not required medical testimony to establish
25
the nature or gravity of the illness before granting relief under§ 473. (See Contreras v. Blue Cross o
26
California (1988) 199 Cal.App.3d 945, 951 [excusable neglect shown when counsel declared that a
27
fractured arm impaired "her mobility and writing ability"]; Robinson v. Varela (1977) 67 Cal.App.3d

4 answer a complaint when counsel declared that he "'has been ill and under the care of a
5 physician"'].)
6 H. The Current Orders Fail to Account for Respondent's Disabilities.
7 Respondent has suffered from chronic depression and attention deficit disorder from well before
8 this litigation to this day. Petitioner has been aware of Respondent's disabilities since early in their
9 relationship and, in fact, has earlier notified the Court that he does have conditions ("his social
10 anxiety" - Petitioner's Declaration of 2/4/11; "Respondent has his own Adderol prescription ... " -
11 Petitioner's Declaration of 1/20/2011). Petitioner's statements were again brought to the Court's
12 attention in Respondent's Motion to Seal of May 20, 2013.
13 Respondent was especially symptomatic during 2013, such that major life activities were
14 substantially limited (especially working). The orders, on the other hand, state that Respondent was
15 underemployed "of his own volition." To the contrary, disabilities were the reason for Respondent's
16 underemployment.
17 Work on the litigation suffered due to Respondent's disabilities. For example, the Court states in
18 its August 16 orders that Respondent failed to provide evidence of lack of opportunity to work. This
19 failure, as well, was caused by Respondent's disabilities, as a lack of sufficient time, coupled with
20 difficulty thinking and concentrating, hampered his ability to gain a correct understanding of where
21 the burden of proof properly lied with regard to opportunity to work. In other words, his disabilities
22 caused a mistake of law. Similarly, Respondent's disabilities caused his failure to submit an updated
23 Income and Expense Declaration.
24 Respondent is now in financial ruins and facing incarceration because his disabilities were not
25 considered by the Court. Disturbingly, and in other words, he is facing incarceration because his
26 disabilities severely impaired his ability to work productively. A cascade of failures followed from
27 his inability to work productively, including: (i) inability to secure a substantial amount of paying
28 work; (ii) inability to efficiently complete the small amount of paying work he actually acquired; (iii)

failure to obtain evidence he could have gotten to show he complied with the work efforts order to
2
the extent possible; (iv) the combination of (i), (ii), and (iii), above, leading the Court to the
3 conclusion that Respondent was purposefully underemployed; and, (v) work on the divorce-related
4 litigation itself, including: (a) failing to file an updated income and expense declaration; and, (b)
5 mistakenly believing the burden was on Petitioner to prove opportunity to work vs. on Respondent to
6 prove lack of opportunity.
7 It is against the interest of society that a person would certainly be financially ruined and perhaps
8 incarcerated due to their disabilities. The trial judge has a "duty to see that a miscarriage of justice
9 does not occur through inadvertence." Lombardi v. Citizens Nat. Trust & Sav. Bank ( 1951) 13 7 Cal
10 App.2d 206, 209, [289 P .2d 8231].
11 I. Upon Appreciating That Disabling Depression and ADD Caused His Failure to Act,
Respondent Diligently Undertook This Motion.
12
Depression and ADD can disable and, here, did so during a critical period relevant to the orders at
13
issue (during 2013, e.g., throughout the MSC activities and Trial Brief activities in the spring of
14
2013, on through the June 17, 2013 hearing, and on throughout the summer of2013). During these
15
times, Respondent's productivity was abnormally low due to exacerbated chronic depression and
16
ADD. Thus, despite realizing that he should update and file his income and expense declaration by
17
May 20, 2013, the date the Trial Briefs were due -he was not able to get it done. Despite believing
18
that he had gained an accurate understanding of the law regarding the burden of proof re imputation
19
of income, he was apparently mistaken. As described in section H above, a plethora of mistakes wer
20
made.
21
Respondent did not have the wherewithal during the relevant period to appreciate his subpar
22
performance. Despite working diligently, he crune up substantially short on time. In the fog of
23
depression, he just did not put two and two together that depression and ADD were causing him to
24
work so uncharacteristically slow. (See, e.g., "Half ofMDD Patients Are Unaware of Their Own
25
Depression." Kantar Health News. Kantar Health, 18 Oct. 2012. Web. 18 Feb. 2014.) Respondent's
26
awareness was raised much later, e.g., in the winter of2013/2014, once he learned of and becrune
27
affiliated with the organization Equal Access Advocates (EAA)
28
(http://www.equalaccessadvocates.com/). At that time, he earned a certification in ADA advocacy
DECLARATION - 6
R-6
Case Number
1
(for which he received CLE credit) from EAA. Upon appreciating the root cause of his mistakes, he
2
diligently began work on and filed the present motion.
3 J. By Setting Aside the Orders, the Severe Prejudice Suffered By Respondent Could Be
4
Rectified.
The orders at issue in this motion have been negatively influenced by Respondent's disabilities.
5
However, the orders fail to account for them. Accordingly, Respondent has been prejudiced. For
6
example, had Respondent's functional limitations in working been considered (2-4 hours/day), it is
7
probable that he would not have been imputed with his full former salary ($225,000/year) from the
8
day after he was laid off. That, in turn, would likely have had an impact on other aspects of the
9
orders (e.g., back support, on-going support, fees, and sanctions). Respondent seeks a fair
10
opportunity to have the full picture considered - something which has not happened to date due to
11
Respondent's mistake, inadvertence, surprise, and/or excusable neglect.
12
Accordingly, for the aforementioned reasons, Respondent requests set aside of the (1) Findings
13
and Order Re Attorney's Fees and Costs; and (2) Order re: Respondent's Request for Modification of
14
Child Support and Temporary Spousal Support, each filed on August 16, 2013 in this action.
15
An updated Income and Expense Declaration accompanies this motion. Additionally, a
16
Declaration (of Jeffery Frazier) providing evidence of lack of opportunity to work accompanies this
17
motion.
18
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is

I Have Hidden Disabilities - Chronic Depression and Adult Attention Deficit Disorder
15
5. I have hidden disabilities, particularly mental disabilities which impair my ability to function
16
in the above-referenced litigation, in working, and in looking for work.
17
6. Since well before this litigation began in January 2011, I have been diagnosed by my regular
18
psychiatrist, David L. Smith, M.D., with chronic depression (dysthymic disorder) and
19 attention deficit disorder (ADD).

25 Symptoms usually last for at least two years, and often for much longer than that.
Dysthymia interferes with your ability to function and enjoy life.
26
With dysthymia, you may lose interest in normal daily activities, feel hopeless, lack
27
productivity, and have low self-esteem and an overall feeling of inadequacy. People

6 Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition

13 to function, thereby reducing their work productivity; e.g.

21 functioning, performance, and productivity.

My Hidden Disabilities Have Been Diagnosed and Treated By Specialists
23
24 11. I was first diagnosed by a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia with anxiety and panic
25 disorder in 1983. I have been in treatment most of my life since then, mostly for depression
26 and anxiety disorders.

1 12. More recently, in addition to regularly seeing Dr. Smith, my psychotherapy includes session
2 with Lisa Post, Ph.D., from Dec. 2011 until March 2012, and currently with Alice Locke
3 Chezar, M.A., MFT, ATR beginning February 28, 2012.
4 13. I have been taking, on a daily basis from well before this litigation, three prescription
5 medications for depression and two prescription medications for attention deficit disorder.
6 As well, every day, I have been taking two prescription medications to counter side effects of
7 one of the depression medications. I have been using various other prescription medications
8 as needed, including medications for anxiety with depression, panic disorder, major
9 depressive disorder, and sleep.

10 14. While I have long been, and continue to be, in treatment, it appears I will have to stop, as I
11 do not have the financial resources to continue.
12
Various Situations Have Worsened My Depression
13
14 15. The children's time with their father has been and is being seriously compromised due to thi
15
litigation. In October 2012, I was laid off from my job for the second time in less than three
years. In February 2013, my good friend and housemate was diagnosed with terminal brain
16
cancer, which has progressively worsened to this day. In May 2013, I was lied about in
17
Petitioner's Trial Brief, and in August 2013, I was sanctioned $30,000 based on those lies. In
18
June 2013, I was forced, against my wishes, to sell my home of almost 12 years, and then to
19
move. In August 2013, a plethora of adversities flowed from the Court's decision to impute
20
my full, previous salary ($225,000/yr.) to me from the day after I was laid off. More
21
recently, I learned that my ex-wife's longtime boyfriend is the very man with whom she was
22
intimate during our marriage, leading me to believe her relationship with him is the reason
23
she broke up our family and separated from me.
24
16. On top of that, I am suffering an extreme financial hardship. Nearly all of my non-liquid
25
savings have been depleted. I owe many people substantial money. For example, my former
26
attorneys, accountant, older daughter's private school (which is threatening to kick her if not
27
paid up soon), and younger daughter's former therapist, to name some. It is not fair that

these entities should have to act as banks, when I would have paid each of them fully once I
2 received my $75,000 from escrow (from sale of the Portola Valley home)- something which
3 never happened since that money was ordered given to an already cash-rich Petitioner.
4 17. I do not have enough savings to pay my 2013 income taxes which I owe.

Warning Signs That Indicate Worsening Depression
6
7 18. During this litigation, among the signs indicative of worsening depression, my weight has
8 gone from the low 160's (Aug. 2010) to the upper l 90's (now) (Exh. G- Weight chart from
9 my primary care physician, Dr. John Madej (Portola Valley)). I rarely leave the house, except
10 when I must. I have essentially quit participating in activities I used to greatly enjoy, for
11 example:
12 I have gone from flying every 2 -4 weeks prior to separation, to barely once a year now.
13 I have gone from cycling every couple of days in the year prior to separation, to not even
14 once a month now. The following chart shows data from my cycling GPS:

23 Functional Limitations Caused By My Hidden Disabilities

24
19. My depression, distraction, and anxiousness have worsened substantially and progressively
25
during this litigation. I told both my psychiatrist and psychotherapist numerous times during
26
2013 that I was feeling depressed, having trouble concentrating and thinking, and I was
27
having a difficult time working and looking for work. In 2013, due to my disabilities, my
28
DECLARATION -11 R-11 I
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1
ability to do patent-attorney work fell within a range of from about two to about four hours
2 per day. I have had great difficulties getting out and soliciting business.
3 20. Exhibits H and I are true and correct copies of letters that were provided to me by my
4 psychiatrist, David L. Smith, M.D., on January 13 and 24, 2014, respectively. Among other
5 things, these letters set out my illnesses and functional limitations. Exh. J is a true and
6 correct copy of the "About Me" page of Dr. Smith's website I printed at 9:17 p.m. on
7 February 2, 2014.
8 21. Exh. K is a true and correct copy of a letter that was provided to me by my psychotherapist,
9 Alice Locke Chezar, M.A., MFT, ATR, on January IO, 2014. Among other things, this letter
10 sets out my conditions. Notably, she concurs with Dr. Smith.
11
The Current Orders Fail To Account For My Disabilities
12
13 22. I have suffered from chronic depression (dysthymia) and attention deficit disorder (ADD)
14 from well before this litigation to this day. Petitioner has been aware that I have disabilities
15 since early in our relationship and, in fact, has earlier notified the Court that I do have
16 conditions ("his social anxiety" - Petitioner's Declaration of 2/4/11; "Respondent has his
17 own Adderol prescription ... " - Petitioner's Declaration of 1/20/2011 ). Petitioner's
18 statements were again brought to the Court's attention in my Motion to Seal of May 20,
2013.
19
20
23. I was especially symptomatic during 2013, such that major life activities were substantially
21
limited (especially working). The orders, on the other hand, state that I was underemployed
22
of my own volition. To the contrary, disabilities were the reason for my underemployment.
23
24. Work on this litigation suffered due to my disabilities. For example, the Court states in its
24
August 16 orders that I failed to provide evidence of lack of opportunity to work. This
25
failure was caused by my disabilities, as a lack of sufficient time, coupled with difficulty
thinking and concentrating, hampered my ability to gain a correct understanding of where the
26
burden of proof properly lied with regard to opportunity to work. In other words, my
27
disabilities caused a mistake oflaw. Similarly, a lack of sufficient time, coupled with
28
Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1
difficulty thinking and concentrating, caused my failure to submit an updated Income and
2
Expense Declaration.
3 25. I am now in financial ruins and facing incarceration because my disabilities were not
4 considered by the Court. Disturbingly, and in other words, I am facing incarceration because
5 my disabilities severely impaired my ability to work productively. A cascade of failures
6 followed from my inability to work productively, including: (i) inability to secure a
7 substantial amount of paying work; (ii) inability to efficiently complete the small amount of
8 paying work I actually acquired; (iii) failure to obtain evidence I could have gotten to show I
9 complied with the work efforts order to the extent possible; (iv) the combination of (i), (ii),
10 and (iii), above, leading the Court to the conclusion that I was purposefully underemployed;
11 and, (v) work on the divorce-related litigation itself, including: (a) failing to file an updated
12 income and expense declaration; and, (b) mistakenly believing the burden was on Petitioner
13 to prove opportunity to work vs. on me to prove lack of opportunity.
14
Upon Appreciating That Disabling Depression and ADD Caused My Failure to Act, I
15 Diligently Undertook This Motion
16
26. Depression and ADD can disable and, here, did so during a critical period relevant to the
17
orders at issue (during 2013, e.g., throughout the MSC activities and Trial Brief activities in
18
the spring of 2013, on through the June 17, 2013 hearing, and on throughout the summer of
19
2013). During these times, my productivity was abnormally low due to exacerbated chronic
20
depression and ADD. Thus, despite realizing that I should update and file my income and
21
expense declaration by May 20, 2013, the date the Trial Briefs were due - I was not able to
22
get it done. Despite believing that I had gained an accurate understanding of the law
23
regarding the burden of proof re imputation of income, I was apparently mistaken.
24
27. I did not have the wherewithal during the relevant period to appreciate my subpar
25
performance. Despite working diligently, I came up substantially short on time. In the fog o
26
depression, I just did not put two and two together that depression and ADD were causing me
27
to work so uncharacteristically slow. (See, e.g., Exh. L: "Half of MDD Patients Are Unawar
28
of Their Own Depression." Kantar Health News. Kantar Health, 18 Oct. 2012. Web. 18 Feb.
DECLARATION - 13
R-13

1
2014.) My awareness was raised much later, e.g., in the winter of 2013/2014, once I learned
2
of and became affiliated with the organization Equal Access Advocates (EAA)
3 (http://www.equalaccessadvocates.com/). At that time, I earned a certification in ADA
4 advocacy (for which I received CLE credit) from EAA. Upon appreciating the root cause of
5 my mistakes, I diligently began work on and filed the present motion.
6 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is
7 true and correct.

1 My name is Jeffrey Frazier and I am the Respondent in this matter. I have personal
2 first hand knowledge of the facts set forth in this Declaration, and if called to testify to those
3
facts, I could and would testify competently thereto. I make this Supplemental Declaration in
4
support of my Motion for Reconsideration of the orders entered on August 17, 2013 and
5
alternative set-aside relief I declare as follows:
6
7
I. INTRODUCTION AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND
8 Judgment of dissolution was entered April 17, 2013. There are two minor children, Kalista
9 Frazier, born Feb. 5, 2002, and Lauren Frazier, born July 29, 2005.
10 On May 20, 2013, I filed my Trial Brief, in which I requested section 271 sanctions,
11 prevailing party attorney's fees, reimbursement due to breach of fiduciary duty, recovery of custody
12 evaluation fees and costs, sanctions for accusations of child abuse in a custody proceeding, and
13 sealing of portions of the record. On the same date, Petitioner filed her Trial Brief, requesting
14
15
The Court entered two orders on August 16, 2013: (1) The order "FINDINGS AND ORDER
16 RE ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS" denied all of my requests for sanctions and payments, and
17 to seal the record, and granted Petitioner's requests for attorney fees and sanctions; and, (2) The
18 order "ORDER RE: RESPONDENT'S REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF CHILD SUPPORT
19 AND TEMPORARY SPOUSAL SUPPORT" provided for child and spousal support payments by
20 me, increased from a prior stipulation and order wherein no support was paid. It also imputed
21 income to me for purposes of support.
22 On September 6, 2013, I filed a motion to reconsider the August 16, 2013 orders under Code
23 of Civil Procedure section 1008, subdivision (a), or alternatively, to grant relief from the orders
24 under Code of Civil Procedure section 473, subdivision (b). This submission is in support of such
25 motion, and responsive to Petitioner's paper in opposition thereto.
26 PROPERPROCEDURESWERENOTFOLLOWED

27
In its orders of August 16, 2013, the Court did not follow proper procedures.

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 A. Petitioner failed to verify her trial brief; therefore, it should
have been stricken.
2 Family Code (FC) §212 expressly requires all pleadings filed under the Family Code to be
3 verified. "A petition, response, application, opposition, or other pleading filed with the court under
4 this code shall be verified." A verification is an affidavit of the truth of the matter stated. (CCP
5 §446(a).) A verification's object is to assure good faith in the averments or statements of a party to
6 litigation. Star Motor Imports, Inc. v. Superior Court (1979) 88 Cal.App.3d 201, 204 151 CR 721,
7 723. Petitioner's Trial Brief was subscribed by her attorney, but not verified as required.
8 All Judicial Council Forms requiring verification contain a preprinted verification for
9 signature. Juridical Council Form FL-300 is adopted for mandatory use and as such contain the
10 preprinted required verification for signature. Contrary to these statutes, Petitioner failed to use a
11 Request for Order form. There was no verification. Lacking a properly verified pleading, the court
12 was without authority to consider it and assess fees and sanctions, nor could it award support.
13 B. The Court erroneously employed the DissoMaster program

in calculating long-term spousal support.
14
15 In its ORDER RE: RESPONDENT'S REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF CHILD
16 SUPPORT AND TEMPORARY SPOUSAL SUPPORT, the Court erroneously employed the
17 DissoMaster program in calculating long-term spousal support, as a post-judgment support order by
18 definition cannot be temporary.
19 While ·the court may use a computer program or guideline to calculate a temporary spousal
20 support amount pending trial in the matter, the parties are not allowed to use the D~ssoMaster in
21 calculating permanent support post-judgment. (In re Marriage ofOlson (1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 1,
22 Permanent spousal support order based on DissoMaster reversed for failure to consider all 4320
23 factors.) The spousal support component of a permanent family support order must be based on the
24 statutory factors enumerated in section 4320 of the Family Code, not pegged to a number generated
25 by a computer program intended for use in calculating temporary support. In re Marriage of
26 Schulze (1997) 60 Cal. App. 4th 519, 70 Cal. Rptr. 2d 488.

S-5
Sm Jose, CA 95125
1 c. Petitioner's reguests for fees and sanctions were not
supported by evidence sworn uilder penalty of perjury.
2
3 Petitioner provided attorney argument, submitted invoices from her attorney and accountant,
4 and submitted a spreadsheet in support of her request for attorney's fees and sanctions. However,
5 nothing that she provided in or with her Trial Brief was itself sworn under penalty of perjury.
6 1. Fees - The trial court could not impose monetary

liability based on speculation or on opposing counsel's
7 unswom statements.
The absence of sworn evidence "disclosing the nature and extent of counsel's services"
8
hampered the trial court's ability to make fact findings. (In re Marriage of Cueva (1978) 86
9
Cal.App.3d 290, 303, 149 Cal. Rptr. 918.) It could not impose monetary liability based on
lO
speculation or on opposing counsel's unsworn statements. (Jn re Marriage ofReese & Guy (1999) 73
11
Cal. App. 4th 1214, 1222, fn. 5, 87 Cal. Rptr. 2d 339) "Without ascertaining whether or at what
12
hourly rate the work for which reimbursement was sought was actually done, much less that the
13
work was 'reasonably necessary' ... , the trial court could not properly find that imposing" liability
14
for the other spouse's legal fees was appropriate. (In re Marriage ofKeech (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th
15
860, 869, 89 Cal.Rptr.2d 525.)
16
D. The Court made an impermissible retroactive spousal
17 support order.
18
The Court impennissibly made spousal support retroactive to the date of unemployment
19
(October 8, 2012), rather than to the date the moving papers were served (November 13, 2012).
20
In modifying a spousal support order because either spouse is unemployed, the Court must
21
make the order retroactive to the later of (1) the date the moving papers were served or (2) the date
22
of unemployment, unless it finds and states on the record good cause for not making the order
23
retroactive. [FC §3653(b). ] Here, the Court did not make any such finding or statement.
24
E. The Court erred in failing to base its spousal support
25 decision on the standard of living that was established
during the marriage.
26
27 The Court made no findings as to the standard of living that was established during the
28 marriage, and that is a critical component in a permanent spousal support order.

(408)918-0920 Case No. 6- l l-FL-005500 Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 The Court must base its spousal support decision on the standard of living that was
2 . established during the marriage. [FC §4330(a).] The Court must make specific factu~I findings about
3 the standard of living during the marriage. [FC §4332.] (See In re Marriage ofSmith (1990) 225
4 Cal.App.3d 469, 491-493, 274 Cal. Rptr. 911; Jn re Marriage ofRosen (2002) 105 Cal.App.4th SOS,
5 130 Cal.Rptr.2d 1). In ordering spousal support, the trial court must consider "[t]he needs of each
6 party based on the standard of living established during the marriage." (Fam. Code§ 4320(d).) In
7 the present matter, the court did not make any such findings as they related to support whatsoever,
8 instead erroneously relying on a guideline calculation.
9 F. The Court failed to enforce the Rules of Court requiring

current income and expense declarations from the parties.
10
11 The Court did not require the parties to file current income and expense declarations. The
12 Court's failing in this regard prejudiced me. Lacking "complete, accurate and current financial
13 information," in imputing income to me, the Court instead applied largely stale and non-predictive
14 information, resulting in incorrect factual findings and the imposition of substantial fees, sanctions,
15 and support obligations upon me that I do not have the ability to pay and which place an
16 unreasonable financial burden upon me. Had up-to-date information been used, per proper
17 procedure, such hardship upon me would have been clear, and so the imposition of such substantial
18 fees, sanctions, and support obligations could have been avoided.
19 Court rules require that current income and expense declarations be filed when the trial court
20 is awarding ~ttorney fees. Cal. Rules of Ct, rule 5.128 (repealed effective January 1, 2013) requires
21 current income and expense declarations, including attorney fees information, when relevant to
22 issues. A party seeking attorneys' fees, experts' fees, or costs must cc;>mply with Cal. Rules of Ct,
23 rule 5.427 (renumbered from Rule 5.93 effective January 1, 2013) which identifies the process that a
24 party must complete to request or respond to a request for attorney fees and costs, and the court
25 process for making an order with respect to attorney fees and costs. Among the requirements are the
26 submission of current income and expense declarations.
27 Although the language of a Rule of Court phrased in mandatory language is generally
28 binding on the courts, departure from the rule is not reversible error unless prejudice is shown. In re

1 Marriage ofBurkle (2006) 144 Cal.App.4th 387; See, In re Marriage ofTydlaska (2003) 114
2 Cal.App.4th 572 - failure to produce current income and expense declaration meant that he "failed to
3 present an 'evidentiary yardstick' with which the court could determine the appropriateness of a
4 modification order.")
5 G. The Court failed to consider my ability to pay the fee

award as ordered.
6
7 In the absence of current financial information, the Court could not determine whether I
8 could actually pay the fee award in the fashion set out in the Orders.
9 In Marriage ofSchulze, a pendente lite fee award to wife was reversed as an abuse of
1O discretion because, among other things, the court failed to consider husband's ability to pay at the
11 rate ordered; Ma"iage ofSchulze (1997) 60 Cal. App. 4th 519, 531-532, 70 CR2d 488, 496-497.
12 H. Arguments and attachments were presented for the first

time in Petitioner's Trial Brief, to which I was given no
13 opportunity to reply.
14
Numerous arguments and attachments were presented for the first time in Petitioner's Trial
15
Brief. Albeit the parties waived a hearing, I did not waive my right to reply. Speaking about filings
16
beyond the Trial Briefs, Judge Zayner stated: "[I]f ... I would like some further filings, I will advise
17
both sides." [Hearing Tr., 12-13, May 20, 2013] No request for reply briefs came. Thus, I had no
18
forum to present opposition argument and evidence. I was substantially prejudiced. For example, ·the
19
Court adopted Petitioner's stated reasons in her request for sanctions (presented for the first time in
20
her Trial Brief) and sanctioned me ·$30,000, without ever giving me an opportunity to present
21
argument or evidence.
22
The Court's decision not to solicit reply briefs effectively tenninated the receipt of evidence
23
subsequent to the submission of the parties' Trial Briefs and Petitioner's Supplemental Trial Brief,
24
which she had received prior approval to file. So, no further proofs were offered. When the trial
25
court states or the court has clearly intimated that it will not receive evidence, a specific offer of
26
proof is not necessary and would be idle under the circumstances, and it therefore may be claimed

1 that it was error to exclude such evidence. (Caminetti v. Pacific Mut. L. Ins. Co. (1943) 23 Cal.2d 94,
2. 100, 142 P.2d 741.)
3 "Denying a party the right to testify or to offer evidence is reversible per se." In re Marriage
4 of Carlsson (2008) 163 Cal.App.4th 281, 291. A trial judge should not determine any issue that is
5 presented for his consideration until he has heard all competent, material, and relevant evidence the
6 parties desire to introduce."' (Elkins v. Superior Court (2007) 41 Cal.4th 1337, 1357-1358,
7 quoting Shippey v. Shippey (1943) 58 Cal.App.2d 174, 177.) In Elkins v. Superior Court, the Court
8 emphasized, "'One of the elements of a fair trial is the right to offer relevant and competent evidence
9 on a material issue ... denial of this fundamental right is almost a~ways considered reversible error"'
10 Elkins v. Superior Court (2007) 41 Cal.4th 1337, 163 P.3d 160.
11 1. The manner in which the court imposed the sanction

was a violation of due process
. 12
13 I was prevented from presenting evidence to challenge the basis for the sanction award, the
14 reasonableness of the fees and the hourly rates. (See, In re Marriage ofDuris and Urbany (2011)
15 193 Cal.App.4th 510, 515.) "This summary imposition of attorney fees as sanctions is not consistent
16 with due process procedural protections." Id; see also, In re Marriage ofFlaherty (1982) 31 Cal.3d
17 63 7, 652, 183 Cal.Rptr. 508, 646 P.2d 179.

19 can be imposed" Brekhus & Williams v. Rhodes (1988) 198 Cal.App.3d 788, 793. "In a proceeding
20 to determine whether an attorney's conduct justifies sanctions, there must be a sufficient opportunity

1 I. The Court failed to follow local and state rules on
Petitioner's reguest for fees.
2
3 The Court did not enforce Cal Rules of Ct 5.427 or 5.92, or Local Family Rule 4.
4 In applying for attorney fees and costs, counsel must follow Cal Rules of Ct 5.427 and 5.92,
5 as well as the directions of Form FL-300. To request fees and costs, Item 5 of Form FL-300 must be
6 checked. In addition, counsel should submit a Request for Attorney's Fees and Costs Attachment
7 (Judicial Council Form FL-319) (or a declaration that addresses the factors in that form) and a
8 Supporting Declaration for Attorney's Fees and Costs Attachment (Judicial Council Form FL-158)
9 (or a declaration that addresses the factors in that form), along with a current Income and Expense
10 Declaration (Judicial Council Form FL-150). These declarations must provide the court with
11 sufficient information about the nature and difficulty of the case, the skill and experience required
12 and possessed by counsel, the time required, why the requested fees and costs are just, necessary,
13 and reasonable, and any other pertinent factors. See Cal Rules of Ct 5.427(b); Marriage of Cueva
14 (1978) 86 CA3d 290, 296. The requesting party must include an Income and Expense Declaration
15 (Judicial Council Form FL-150) as part of an application for fees (Cal Rules of Ct 5.92, 5.427), and
16 ensure that it lists the information required in that form regarding attorney fees and costs. Cal Rules
17 of Ct 5.427(b).
18 Local Family Rule 4 (Attorney's Fees and Costs), Part A (Fee Requests) provides, "When a
19 party has requested attorney's fees (either pendente lite or after judgment), both parties shall file a
20 current Income and Expense Declaration with attached paystubs, which shall be served along with
21 the Application, Request for Order, or Responsive Declaration requesting fees." Part B provides that
22 a written fee declaration shall be provided for requests over $1,000, and sets out the details thereof.
23 J. The Court erroneously awarded fees, sanctions, and

support in the absence of substantial evidence.
24
25 Petitioner's Trial Brief is almost entirely attorney argument. No declarations under penalty of
26 perjury were submitted with it. Petitioner failed to provide substantial evidence for any of her
27 requests.

(408) 918-0920 Case No. 6-11-FL-005500
1 Pleadings are allegations, not evidence, and do not suffice to satisfy a party's evidentiary
2 burden. (San Diego Police Officers Assn. v. City ofSan Diego (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 1736, 1744.)
3 The Court cannot rely on non-evidence, such as an attorney's unsworn statements (County of
4 Alameda v. Moore (1995) 33 Cal. App. 4th 1422, 1427 [40 Cal. Rptr. 2d 18]).
5 "[S]ubstantial evidence is not just any evidence; it must be believable evidence. "'Substantial
6 evidence' is evidence of ponderable legal significance, evidence that is reasonable, credible and of
7 solid value." Roddenberry v. Roddenberry (1996) 44 Cal.App.4th 634, 651. The substantial evidence
8 test requires "more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might
9 accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Consol. Edison Co. v. NLRB, 305 U.S. 197, 229, 59
10 S.Ct. 206, 217, 83 L.Ed. 126 (1938).
11 K. Inadequate notice was provided regarding sanctions.

12
Petitioner did not provide sufficient notice of her claims for section 271 sanctions. While
13
general notice may have been provided that Petitioner would seek sanctions, the specific conduct or
14
amount for which she would seek sancticms was not provided until she actually served the Trial Bri·ef
15
itself. No notice was provided to me prior to the request for the sanctions. Thus, as a matter oflaw,
16
it was improper for the trial court to impose a sanction under Family Code section 271 (In re
17
Marriage ofDavenport (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1507, 1529.)
18
Family Code section 271, subdivision (a), provides for the award of attorney's fees as a
19
sanction. "An award of attorney's fees and costs as a sanction pursuant to this section shall be
20
imposed only after notice to the party against whom the sanction is proposed to be imposed and
21
opportunity for that party to be heard." (Fam. Code,§ 271, subd. (b).)
22
Further, Petitioner's Trial Brief contains both specified and unspecified conduct, which the
23
Court adopted as its reasons for granting sanctions, which unspecified conduct includes: " ... engage
24
in frivolous litigation and arguments with additional costs."
25
Notice "must also advise of the specific grounds and conduct for which the fees or sanctions
26
are sought, and must be directed to the specific person against whom they are sought. [Citation.]" (In
27
re Marriage ofDavenport (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1507, 1529.)

1 L. The trial court made no findings that imputing income to
· me would be in the children's best interest.
2
3 The trial court made no express or implied finding that imputing earning capacity to me
4 would be in the children's best interest. Certainly, the use of outdated financial information, as the
5 Court used, would have foiled the effort had the Court tried.
6 No authority permits a court to impute earning capacity to a parent unless doing. so is in the
7 best interest of the children. By explicit statutory direction, the court's determination of earning
8 capacity must be "consistent with the best interest of the children." Fam. Code§ 4058, subd. (b); In
9 re the Marriage ofDavid R. & Iris M. Fraser Cheriton, (2001) 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 755.
10 M. In the absence of evidence, the Court impliedly found I lost

my job due to misconduct.
11
12 At p. 7 of its ORDER RE: RESPONDENT'S REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF CHILD
13 SUPPORT AND TEMPORARY SPOUSAL SUPPORT, the Court cites Marriage ofEggers for its
14 holding, "Imputation of income is not automatic upon loss of employment due to misconduct."
15 Marriage ofEggers (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 695, 697 [employment of father was terminated by his
16 employer for misconduct].
17 Here, there is not even a scintilla of evidence anywhere in the record to support a finding that
18 I lost my job due to misconduct. (It was a multi-person layoff.) It is well recognized that the
19 substantial evidence test requires "more than a mere scintilla." Consol. Edison Co. v. NLRB, 305
20 U.S. 197, 229, 59 S.Ct. 206, 217, 83 L.Ed. 126 (1938).
21 N. The Court incorrectly assigned the burden of proof

regarding my opportunity to work
22
23 The Cou~ states that I, as the party moving for a modification of support, bear the burden of
24 proving lack of opportunity to work. This ignores the record where I explicitly state I am not
25 pursuing such motion, and where the Court and Petitioner acknowledge that Petitioner asslimed my
26 motion:

1 MR. FRAZIER: ... I'm a little confused I'm not pursuing that motion at this time.
2
3 THE COURT: ... this is a request that [to Petitioner] you wish to proceed with,
4 because [to Respondent] you don't want to, [to Petitioner] you don't think it's appropriate to
5 continue with the current support orders because of the evidence you wish to present and the
6 argument for imputation of income.
7 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Correct. And it would be an exercise I can do, but waste of
8 time of the parties for me to file a separate motion just to keep it going. I'm just utilizing
9 what's already there.
11 Thus, Petitioner was the party seeking a change to the status quo. "If one parent seeks to
12 modify an existing order so as to have income imputed to the other parent, the parent seeking
13 imputation - that is, in that context, the parent seeking to overturn the status quo - bears the burden
14 of proof of showing that the other parent has the ability and opportunity to earn that imputed income.
15 [Citations.]" (In re Marriage ofBardzik (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 1291, 1294.) As can ~e seen,
16 Petitioner was the moving party, not me. Accordingly, the burden should have been on Petitioner to
17 prove an opportunity to work~ Petitioner failed to carry such burden, so there should be no
18 imputation to me. In re Marriage ofWittgrove (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 1317, 16 Cal.Rptr.3d 489
19 [no imputation at OSC where parent seeking order imputing income based on earning capacity failed
20 to present any competent evidence other parent had ability or opportunity to earn imputed income].)
21 o. The Court erroneously disregarded evidence relevant to my

opportunity to work
22
23 The Court states that I provided no evidence regarding a lack opportunity to work. To the
24 contrary, I testified under oath, in part:
25 MR. FRAZIER: ... there are only so many jobs that I've found that come open, you
26 know, each week or each month that are $225,000 a year jobs for people that are Bio Tech
27 patent attorneys within commuting range from where my daughters live. And so there were

l more jobs open early on when I was first looking than there have been recently. So, I, I'm just
2 not seeing the jobs so [ ] much anymore to apply to.
3 So, the opportunities that Ms. Ledgerwood just provided, if they're anything like the
4 evidence she attached to, to her request to have income imputed to me in her last request she
5 filed, they didn't show, they didn't show the technical background of the person. I'm Bio
6 Tech. A lot of them that did state the technical background of computer science or
7 engineering. That's not me. A lot of them were for very junior people that weren't for me, you
8 know, when I looked through them. Most of them don't state the salary range. And a lot of
9 them were just too terse to tell really what they were about.
lO ... They were just off point. So I didn't see them really showing opportunity.
11 The Court ignores my testimony regarding lack of opportunity to work, as well as the
12 inability of Petitioner's counsel and her vocational expert to provide relevant job advertisements
13 despite their efforts. The Court does not just dismiss such evidence proving lack of opportunity to
14 work; it arbitrarily and completely ignores it (stating such evidence is non-existent!), severely
15 prejudicing me.
16 III. KATHLEEN FRAZIER AND MS. LEDGERWOOD LIED TO THE

COURT AND THERE IS EVIDENCE PROVING FALSENESS
17
18 Included among Ms Ledgerwood' s lies 1 are:
19 A. Kathleen knowingly and pumosefully understated her

income
20
21 1. Lie
Kathleen's "Income from airplane rental" was "$0" for 2011-2013 (Pet'r Tr. Brief, p. 3). It is
22
noted, as well, that Kathleen's income and expense declarations, albeit outdated, have not shown any
23
income from the airplane since she started this litigation.

1 2. The Truth
Kathleen consistently received one half of the income from the airplane rental. This is
2
evidenced by the operating agreement of Looking Up LLC (Kathleen being a 50% member),
3
Exhibit A, and Kathleen's 2011 income tax return which shows her reporting 50% of the income
4
(Exhibit B). The income from the airplane rental was $17,939 in 2011, and $41,220 in 2012 (Pet'r
5
Tr. Brief, p. 3).
6
3. Lie
7 "When Kathy first filed for divorce in January 2011, she had absolutely no income ..." (Pet'r
8 Tr. Brief, p. 7).
9 4. The Truth
Kathleen's 2011 income tax return (Exhibit B) shows her reporting 50% of the income from
10
the airplane rental business, Looking Up LLC.
11
5. Lie
12 "A comparison of Jeff and Kathy's respective incomes from 2009 to present clearly reveals
13 Kathy has had no income both prior to the parties' separation and during the majority of this
14 dissolution proceeding." (Pet'r Tr. Brief, p. 8).
15 6. The Truth
By agreement (Exhibit A), Kathy has shared equally, every year, in the income from
16
Looking Up LLC (airplane rental) since the business began in 2004.
17
7. Lie
18 "He [Jeff] currently earns substantial additional income from ... renting his airplane." (Pet'r
19 Tr. Brief, p. 8) (emphasis added).
20 8. The Truth
It was not only Jeffs airplane. The airplane was owned by Looking Up LLC. Kathleen was a
21
50% member of the LLC, along with Jeff. So, via the LLC, Kathleen owned 50% of the airplane.
22
B. Kathleen falsely inflated my use of her accounting expert

"Jeff agreed to pay Mr. Peth for time Jeff used to further understand Mr. Peth's accounting"

1 2. The Truth
There was no such agreement. I was invoiced by Mr. Peth for an amount corresponding to
2
the agreed-upon time together, and I paid the amount of the invoice. If I had agreed to more, why
3
didn't Mr. Peth invoice me for it?
4
c. Having no grounds, .Kathleen invented reasons why the
5 Court should sanction me
6
1. Lie
7 "Kathy did not know why they would continue litigating [reimbursement claims] ifhe was
8 already in agreement, but still he forced the issue to hearing, which was a complete waste of the
9 Court's and the parties' respective time and resources." (Pet'r Tr. Brief, p. 12)
10 2. The Truth
At least twice, I emailed Kathy (as Kathy said she wanted to work directly with me) asking
11
her to cancel or continue the August 1, 2012 hearing because the parties were in agreement. See
12
Exhibit C for my emails to Kathy, of July 16, 2012 and July 30, 2012. Kathy never responded
13
about the agreed-upon reimbursements.
14
3. Lie
15 From Petitioner's Trial Brief, pp. 12-13:
16 "3b ... Jeff proceeded to confuse Judge Mills as to the current status of the sale,
17 causing Judge Mills to believe that the parties had already selected a listing agent. Ms.
18 Ledgerwood was therefore required to send additional e-mails to Judge Mills in an effort to
19 rectify this problem ...
20 c. Following Judge Mills' order, Jeff proceeded to make matters even worse by telling
21 the Kavanaughs to include additional terms into the.proposed listing agreement that were not
22 part of any court orders and claiming that they were in accordance with Judge Mills' previous
23 e-mails to the parties. The Kavanaughs became very confused and contacted Ms.
25 d. Between May 2nd and May 3rd alone, Ms. Ledgerwood had to send numerous
26 separate e-mails to Judge Mills, Jeff, and the Kavanaughs simply to clarify the explicit orders
27 from the court orders and to advise that no additional terms were to be added to the listing
28 agreement. It was only after Ms. Ledgerwood requested an additional S_ettlement Officer

1 Conference with Judge Mills that Jeff finally agreed to sign the listing agreement in the
2 judge's presence. Over 16 emails, telephone calls to coordinate the SOC, telephone calls
3 with the agent, preparation for the SOC, and the SOC appearance all occurred because Jeff
4 created an issue for his own benefit, one that did not exist, and resulted in wasting the Court's
5 and Kathy's respective time and resources (Exhibit E)."
6 4. The Truth
I never told the Kavanaughs to put any additional language into any listing agreement.
7
See the attached email from Ginny Kavanaugh to Nedda Ledgerwood stating that the "+$1"
8
term did not come froni me and that she, Ginny, would not be comfortable not disclosing such a
9
tenn. (Exhibit D). See also the attached email from Ginny Kavanaugh to me wherein Ms.
10
Kavanaugh states that I did not tell her to insert any terms into the listing agreement (Exhibit E). In
11
fact, before Petitioner filed her Trial Brief, I told Ms. Ledgerwood, directly and in person, that I did
12
not say these things she was attributing to me. Continuing with her lie, or at least exhibiting a
13
reckless disregard for the truth, she sought sanctions anyway.
14
5. Lie
15 "Jeff told Kathy he was going to remove her from his health insurance beca"Qse she had called
16 the police to protect her against Jeff during an event where she feared for her safety." (Pet'r Tr.
17 Brief, p. 11).
18 6. The Truth
I never told Kathy I was going to drop her from my insurance.
19
7. Lie
20 "Kathy later found out that Jeff accessed, without Kathy's agreement, her email account ...
21 without her knowledge or consent." (Pet'r Tr. Brief, p. 14).
22 8. The Truth
As stated in my declaration in this matter dated February 11, 2011 (Exhibit F):
23
"17. ... In truth, she invited me to read her email at any time (after I happened upon a flirtatious
24
email with a male friend relating sexual information about me) as she claimed she had no~ng to
25
hide. Further, we willingly provided access to one another's email and calendars this past spring and
26
summer, when Petitioner assisted me with consulting work."

l It is also true that Kathleen and her attorney accessed m.y !Pad without my agreement, and

3 D. Contrary to Kathleen's false assertion, my past support

payments have been a model of timeliness and regularity
4
5 1. Lie
"Jeffs payments towards Kathy's spousal support were very irregular and varied greatly
6
from month to month." (Pet'r Tr. Brief, p. 7) (emphasis added).
7
2. The Truth
8 The attached print-out shows support payments sent automatically from my Wells Fargo
9 checking account to Kathleen from 9/1111 to 12/3/12 (Exhibit G). As can readily be seen, for the
10 amounts and the time period complained of by counsel for Petitioner, the payments are extremely
11 regular and change in dollar amount only once by stipulation.
12 IV. THE INFIRMITIES IN PETITIONER'S DECLARATION AND

POINTS & ATHORITIES SERVE TO HIGHLIGHT MY STRONG
13 CASE IN FAVOR OF GRANTING MY MOTION FOR
RECONSIDERATION, OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, MOTION TO
14 SET ASIDE
15
Petitioner filed a declaration and points & authorities on September 18, 2013_ opposing my
16
motion for reconsideration and, in the alternative, the motion to set aside. To the extent not
17
discussed above, this section addresses that declaration and points & authorities.
18
Petitioner continues to play up the fact that I am an attorney. I am, however, a patent
19
prosecution attorney. I have never been a litigator. Nor have I ever appeared in an inter partes matter
20
until these proceedings.
21
A. I have made the requisite showings providing the Court
22 with jurisdiction to grant my motion for reconsideration.
23
Petitioner asserts that I have admitted previously knowing of and possessing the evidence I
24
.now seek to present. Notably, Petitioner neither quotes me nor cites to any portion of my motion for
25
reconsideration and set aside. This is because no such admissions exist and Petitioner has simply
26
invented the alleged admissions.

(401) 918-0920 Case No. 6- l l-FL-005500 Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Petitioner asserts that my only explanation for failing to offer the evidence earlier is that I did
2 not understand that I needed to so. This is not true either. I have testified about the previous
3 unavailability of the new evidence, as well as about changed circumstances involving loss of the
4 rental apartment in the former family home, sale of the parties' airplane, and purchase of a new
5 home.
6 Petitioner maintains that the Court may not correct judicial error. To the contrary, it has been
7 shown herein that Petitioner and her attorney committed fraud by lying to the Court. "A trial court
8 has inherent power to set aside a judgment obtained through fraud committed upon the other party or
9 the court, and its right to do so is not derived from section 4 73 of the Code of Civil Procedure."
10 Necessary v. Necessary (1962) 207 Cal.App.2d 780, 24 Cal. Rptr. 713 (citing Aldrich v. Aldrich, 203
11 Cal. 433, 264 P. 754; Rhea v. Millsap, 68 Cal.App.2d 449, 156 P.2d 941.)
12 B. Code of Civil Procedure Section 473(b) is a remedial

measure to be liberally construed, which favors a hearing
13 on the merits.
14
Petitioner accuses me of choosing not to consult the rules that pertain to income and expense
15
declarations, and choosing not to find out what evidence was required to produce in support of my
16
motion. It was not a matter of choice. I provided evidence with my Trial Brief, but providing
17
further evidence subsequent to that with a reply brief was not possible, since the Court would receive
18
the latter only by invitation - and an invitation never came.
19
The fact that confusion surrounded the question of just who was the moving party (see sec.
20
11.N., above) with the motion to modify support, was driven home by Petitioner herself telling the
21
Court that "It is Mother's burden to prove Father's ability and opportunity to be employed."
22
(Petitioner's SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION and POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN
23
SUPPORT OF IMPUTATION OF INCOME TO RESPONDENT dated February4, 2013; p. 3, I. 7.)
24
I, as well, was confused and mistakes were made.
25
The irony is inescapable that Petitioner makes statements as she does at p. 7, 11. 20-24 of her
26
OPP. TO MOTION TO SET ASIDE OR RECONSIDER, ranting about California Rules of Court,
27
rule 5.620 [repealed] and what she describes as the inexcusability of not filing an income and

expense declaration, while knowing full well that she failed to comply with the rules of Court
2 pertaining to the filing of a current one [because, as she says at p. 2, II. 21-22 of her Trial Brief:
3 "The Court did not require the parties to file current Income and Expense Declarations, ... "].
4 Petitioner talks out of both sides of her mouth.
5 With regard to the set-aside motion, Petitioner characterizes my mistake as willful ignorance.
6 There was nothing willful about it. Mistakes were made, among other ways, in the course of
7 navigating the mixed signals I was receiving from the judiciary - on the one hand, the rules said I
8 must file an income and expense declaration, and on the other, I understood the Court to tell the
9 parties not to file an income and expense declaration in connection with the then-pending issues.
10 (See Pet'r Trial Br. at p. 2, 11. 21-22) I was planning to file an income and expense declaration; I told
11 pepple I wanted to, but did not because of the uncertainty. What behavior could ever be excusable,
12 if such a response due to getting polar opposite messages from the judiciary about what to do with a
13 particular [critically important] form is not?
l4 The outcome in this matter would have been different had I had a current income and
15 expense declaration on file. There can be no question that I was prejudiced by the mixed messages.
16 Would the Court tell me that an income and expense declaration is not required, and then hold out an
17 expectation that I must submit one, or otherwise be penalized with an overwhelming amount of
18 sanctions, fees, and support?
19 Code of Civil Procedure Section 473(b) is a remedial measure to be liberally construed, and
20 any doubt existing as to the propriety of setting aside a default thereunder will be resolved in favor
21 of a hearing on the merits (Berman v. Klassman (1971) 17 Cal. App. 3d 900, 910, 95 Cal. Rptr. 417).
22 See In re Marriage o/Stevenot (1984) 154 Cal. App. 3d 1051, 1070-1071, 202 Cal. Rptr. 116. ["The
23 Legislature has determined that during the time frame provided by Code of Civil Procedure section
24 4 73 there is a strong public policy in favor of allowing litigants their day in court."].
25 c. By way of simultaneous job hunting and consulting, my

employment efforts have been reasonable.
26
27 Petitioner makes the same error as the Court when she states that I made no effort to produce
28 evidence on [the] issue [of burden of proof as to my ability and opportunity to earn]. I have shown

I above, in sec. 11.N ., that I did in fact provide sworn testimony on the issue. Here, Petitioner merely
2 highlights the fact that there were errors in providing evidence - such as errors relating to the
3 confusion surrounding whether or not to file an income and expense declaration. Similarly, if it
4 turns out the Court would have accepted a reply brief, then there was confusion and mistake around
5 that issue, as well, because that is not what I understood.
6 It is Petitioner's position that instead of seeking new employment, I elected to start my own
7 consulting business. The truth is, I chose to build a consulting business while looking for a job, and
8 that is what I have been doing. In any event, ''Opportunity" is not limited to working for someone
9 else; the Court may also consider the parent's "opportunity" for self-employment. Marriage of Cohn
10 (1998) 65 CA 4th 866 at 871 [" ... a licensed attorney with marketable skills who cannot find outside
11 employment may still 'hang up the shingle' and try to sustain a living ... "].
12 D. I made good faith efforts in purchasing a home after being

ordered to sell the family home
13
14 After the Court ordered me to sell the family residence to a third party, I had to find a home
15 for my daughters and myself. I quickly made good f~th efforts in finding and purchasing a home. I
16 bought a modest home in Redwood City for $875,000. I now live in that home with my daughters.
17 V. CONCLUSION
In its orders of August 16, 2013, the Court did not follow proper procedure and failed to
18
consider highly relevant evidence regarding my true income and employment efforts before it issued
19
a decision. In addition, the court erroneously assigned the burden of proof of ability and opportunity
20
to earn to me, when the trial took place regarding Petitioner's ·Motion. While the court issued orders
21
that have a significant financial impact on me, the court did not properly take the required evidence
22
to support its findings as is required by statutory and case law. Last, Petitioner and her attorney
23
misstated the facts in their Trial Brief to make it appear· as though Petitioner had access to far less
24
financial resources than she actually does and to make it appear as though I ran delinquent on my
25
support payments.

2 PROCEEDINGS
3 (Whereupon, Court convened and the following
4 proceedings were had:)
5 THE COURT: So, okay. We have everyone here on
6 the Frazier matter?
8 THE COURT: Let's get everyone's appearances
9 because this is actually the first time we've been on the
10 record today on this case.
11 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Nedda Ledgerwood for the
12 petitioner who is personally present.
13 MR. FRAZIER: Jeff Frazier, respondent.
14 MR. STEINER: And I'm Jack Steiner who is
15 pro-teming today.
16 THE COURT: Okay. You've handed me a judgment and
17 the promised spread sheet including a, titled stipulated
18 judgment regarding some disbursements and divisions.
19 MR. STEINER: And, Your Honor, I did not sign
20 that, because I'm not sure if I should sign it or you should
21 sign it. I think I may not be, I think we talked about this
22 last time I was pro-teming, I think, I'm not officially on
23 the approved pro-tem list at the moment.
24 THE COURT: And that doesn't -- for the parties'
25 benefit, it doesn't mean that Mr. Steiner isn't an
26 experienced and approved settlement officer. It may mean
27 that, like many of the lawyers that assist us as settlement
28 officers, they just haven't done all the technical,


Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 procedural requirements which allow the Court to officially
2 appoint them as a judge pro-tem where they can sign orders
3 and take things on the record. So, that's one last
4 procedural step. It doesn't mean, hope you all appreciate,
5 it doesn't mean that he's not experienced and capable and
6 qualified enough to do what he's been doing to try to get
7 this case resolved.
8 That being the case, Ms. Ledgerwood, is there
9 anything -- first of all, does this address everything
10 pending?
11 MS. LEDGERWOOD: In my opinion, yes. And I think
12 Mr. Frazier agrees with me that it addresses all the
13 property division issues.
14 THE COURT: Yes.
15 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Date of separation, how we're
16 going to handle attorneys fees, costs and sanctions. And I
17 believe that's it. You also have on calendar an EEO review,
18 but we just assume continue that another month. And it does
19 take care of the trial for the 30th. I saw the Court's
20 calendar that the --
21 THE COURT: Okay.
22 MS. LEDGERWOOD: -- that father's motion for
23 modified child support and spousal support is on calendar
24 for the 30th, but we're fine to put that over until next
25 month.
26 THE COURT: All right. Is that agreeable with
27 you, Mr. Frazier?
28 MR. FRAZIER: Yes.

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 THE COURT: Okay.
2 MS. LEDGERWOOD: And I put it in the form of a
3 stipulated judgment just for cleanness, hopefully for
4 cleanness.
5 THE COURT: Okay.
6 MR. STEINER: And you're going to divorce them
7 today or are there --
8 THE COURT: We're ready to do that?
10 THE COURT: There's nothing else out there that
11 would hold that up?
12 MS. LEDGERWOOD: No, meaning medical insurance or
13 health insurance or, no.
14 THE COURT: Yes.
15 MS. LEDGERWOOD: No.
16 THE COURT: All the usual things we need to think
17 about.
18 MS. LEDGERWOOD: No. No, I hope I thought of them
19 all, but, no, I don't think there's those issues.
20 THE COURT: All right. I'll ask our clerk to
21 swear both of you in and, Ms. Frazier, you're --
22 Ms. Ledgerwood will ask you a series of questions confirming
23 your understanding and agreement with the stipulated
24 judgment as well as the necessary jurisdictional facts to
25 accomplish your judgment of dissolution.
26 And, Mr. Frazier, I'll ask you similar questions about
27 your understanding and agreement with this stipulated
28 judgment, okay?

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
2 THE CLERK: Please raise your right hands.
3 (Whereupon, petitioner and respondent were sworn
4 under penalty of perjury.)
5 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
6 MR. FRAZIER: I do.
7 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Ledgerwood.
8 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Ms. Kostas, did you read the
9 agreement that we signed today?
10 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
11 MS. LEDGERWOOD: And do you understand it?
12 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
13 MS. LEDGERWOOD: And did you voluntarily agree to
14 sign it?
15 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
16 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Okay. And do you want me to ask
17 her the jurisdictional facts that I hope I remember, 1
18 through 6?
19 THE COURT: Yes. Please.
20 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Were you a resident at the time
21 you filed your petition?
22 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
23 MS. LEDGERWOOD: And.
24 MR. STEINER: Six months, State of California.
25 MS. LEDGERWOOD: And you've been in the State of
26 California --
27 THE COURT: We can give Mr. Steiner more to do.
28 MR. STEINER: Yeah.

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 Were you a resident of the State of California for more
2 than six months and the County of Santa Clara for more than
3 three months at the time of signing the petition?
4 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
5 MR. STEINER: And all the facts stated therein are
6 true and correct?
7 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
8 MR. STEINER: And have irreconcilable differences
9 arisen in your marriage such that you would like it to be
10 terminated?
11 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
12 MR. STEINER: And is there anything that this
13 Court or anyone else could do to help save your marriage?
14 MS. KOSTAS: No.
15 MR. STEINER: Okay. I think that's it.
16 THE COURT: I think that covers those.
17 Thank you, Mr. Steiner.
18 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Thank you, Mr. Steiner.
19 THE COURT: Mr. Frazier, you're here
20 unrepresented, but you've been represented in the past,
21 although I know you are a lawyer. Do you understand and
22 agree to be bound by all of the terms of this stipulated --
23 excuse me, I'm stumbling over my own words now -- stipulated
24 judgment?
26 THE COURT: Do you have any questions about it?
27 MR. FRAZIER: No.
28 THE COURT: Do you feel comfortable that you've

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 had sufficient time to read, understand, and digest with the
2 assistance of Mr. Steiner, Ms. Ledgerwood and Ms. Kostas and
3 in cooperation with them?
4 MR. FRAZIER: Yes.
5 THE COURT: Okay.
6 MR. STEINER: So, I think that's it.
7 Just so the Court knows --
8 THE COURT: I wanted to ask a few more questions.
9 MR. STEINER: I'm sorry. You turned to me like I
10 was -- so that's the only reason I responded like I did.
11 THE COURT: It's okay.
12 MR. STEINER: Go ahead.
13 THE COURT: And you've signed the stipulated
14 judgment on the third page, Mr. Frazier?
16 THE COURT: You're asking that I enter it as a
17 judgment here today?
18 MR. FRAZIER: Yes, I am.
19 THE COURT: And declare the two of you now as
20 single persons?
22 THE COURT: And, Ms. Kostas, I apologize. I
23 neglected to note that you wish to restore your name which
24 after the entry of this judgment will be Kathleen Celile
25 Kostas; is that correct?
26 MS. KOSTAS: Yes. Yes.
27 THE COURT: Did I pronounce everything correctly?
28 Well, more or less?

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 MS. KOSTAS: Yes.
2 THE COURT: Okay. Thank you.
3 Now, Mr. Steiner, was there something else?
4 MR. STEINER: Just so you know, the work that will
5 need to be done is they will be submitting declarations with
6 regard to fees. I don't think -- Nedda, did you set a time
7 frame?
8 MS. LEDGERWOOD: I did not.
9 MR. STEINER: So, they didn't set a time frame.
10 If you want to set a time frame, we can do that.
11 And, in addition, they've agreed to Ed Mills to be
12 appointed to oversee the sale of the home and airplane
13 should they run into any problems. I assume, presumably he
14 can do that, but if not I assume they can agree on someone
15 else or the Court can appoint someone.
16 THE COURT: Okay. Is that correct? Is everybody
17 agreeable to and do they wish me to appoint Mr. Mills as a
18 special master for those purposes?
19 MR. LEDGERWOOD: Yes.
20 THE COURT: The home and the airplane?
22 THE COURT: Okay. This resolved the issues
23 currently on calendar for trial on April 30th. So, let's do
24 a couple of things here. I'll set another date as requested
25 for the employment efforts review and then we'll talk a
26 little bit about briefing and submission of papers regarding
27 attorney fees.
28 Ms. Ledgerwood, how far out would you suggest for the

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 employment efforts review?
2 MS. LEDGERWOOD: A month.
3 THE COURT: Okay.
4 MS. LEDGERWOOD: So, perhaps May 20th or the week
5 of May 20th?
6 THE COURT: Monday, May 20th looks okay if that
7 works for everybody.
8 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Let me see. At what time,
9 Your Honor?
10 THE COURT: 9 o'clock.
11 And, I'm sorry, let me just clarify this again. With
12 respect to the request for order to modify support, are we
13 going to continue that or that's addressed here?
14 MS. LEDGERWOOD: So, what happened is in January
15 we came up with a stipulation --
17 MS. LEDGERWOOD: -- to reserve the issue of
18 support.
19 THE COURT: Exactly.
20 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Because it's washed out on some
21 level. It's gone up and down and there's moneys owed by
22 each side, but, no, we have to have, what we believe is
23 respondent to come up to his level of earnings or have a
24 trial on his income. But right now no money is being
25 exchanged for support.
26 But we do need a hearing on modifying support at one
27 point. So what might end up happening is the EEO review
28 will be more into a hearing on modified support.


Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 THE COURT: Okay. Well, if we already have it
2 pending on calendar, we might be better served by just
3 continuing it to the date for the EEO review for, as a
4 status conference for setting.
5 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Fine.
6 THE COURT: Keep tracking it on the calendar that
7 way.
8 MS. LEDGERWOOD: I'll consider it an EEO and a
9 status conference.
10 THE COURT: Yeah.
11 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Okay? So, May 20th at 9:00 AM.
12 THE COURT: Yes.
13 Now, let's just talk about briefing for the submission
14 of request for attorneys fees.
15 How much time does everybody think they need to do
16 that?
17 MR. FRAZIER: I have most of what I, you know,
18 I've already turned it in. I'm not sure what briefing there
19 is to do really. I mean, there's your response to what, to
20 what I filed already and my reply to what you did.
21 MS. LEDGERWOOD: I would probably consolidate it
22 for him and put it in one, nice, little trial brief.
23 However you want to call it.
24 THE COURT: It doesn't need to be called a trial
25 brief.
26 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Just consolidate it.
27 THE COURT: You can call it whatever you want.
28 Submission on attorneys fees, but it would be helpful if it

Case Number
6-11-FL-005500
1 were, if the arguments and positions, helpful for my
2 purposes and for yours, if you summarized and condense them
3 at least so I can digest them in one place.
5 MS. LEDGERWOOD: Why don't we submit them by May
6 20th or do you want them the week before?
7 THE COURT: No, that's fine. If that's sufficient
8 time for you to do that.
9 MS. LEDGERWOOD: That's fine.
10 THE COURT: Okay.
11 MS. LEDGERWOOD: So, do you want it filed by,
12 served by, what would you like?
13 THE COURT: How about just filed by May 20th.

streamline the procedure.
The Court shall be promptly notified of any complete or partial settlement, revised
time estimates, scheduling issues, or any other matters which may affect the conduct
and timing of the hearing.
(1) PRE-TRIAL REQUIREMENTS

a. Meet and Confer Requirement: All parties and counsel are expected to make a
good faith effort to resolve all issues, as required by California Rule of Court 5.98. The

Court may take the matter off calendar, proceed in the absence of the party, or impose
other sanctions.
d. Trial Time Estimates: The Family Law Division sets trials and long cause
hearings based on the parties’ reasonable time estimates. The time estimates will be
strictly enforced, and failure to complete in time may result in a mistrial whenever the
Court’s calendar will be adversely affected by allowing excess time.
