Legal Question in Family Law in California

My brother is in a awful divorce situation which is being heard in CCCounty. On the 14th the Judge presiding granted temp. custody of his youngest daughter (9) to him but also ordered visitation with her mother which started that weekend & ordered for 1 2 week visitation with her mother to begin in the next couple weeks. The visit went terrible from the start & ended early when my neice called the local police from the locked bathroom & would not lcome out until police & or her dad showed up. After police report was done and my brother & neice left together my neice contacted her mother stating she no longer wanted to be with her for the 2 week visitation. Her mother said this was fine. My brothers concern is the court order. He has court tommarrow for child/sposual support & we are wondering what if anything can either be "prepared" to be filed on that day that the Judge can also rule on with regards to the "visitation" due to the recent events.

You should get something filed today if possible, with a courtesy copy delivered to the courtroom where the matter is pending. Without knowing what is currently on file and what exactly is pending before the court to be heard tomorrow, I can't begin to advise you on what you can/should file. It would be good for you to talk to an attorney immediately. If you read my past posts, I say that as rarely as possible, but with the short timeline and immediacy of the events, I really think this is not a self-help situation.
