Marriage of Nair
This case involves consolidated appeals filed by Jayraj Nair (father) from four orders in which the family law court, inter alia, limited him to supervised visitation with his youngest son, substituted therapists for both sons, and awarded to respondent Bindu Nair (mother) attorney fees pursuant to Family Code section 271. Father contends the trial court erred by (1) ordering supervised visitation, (2) modifying a final custody order absent a showing of changed circumstances, (3) prohibiting his sons from having contact with each other, (4) ordering him to pay to mother $75,000 as a sanction for increasing the cost of litigation, and (5) making various provisions for therapy in the ruling after the custody trial.
Mother argues that fathers appeal from the three orders concerning visitation and therapy must be dismissed because they are nonappealable interim custody orders.
Court shall conclude that father has properly appealed from the four orders. However, we reject his arguments and shall affirm the trial courts orders.
