Source document used: Attorney Case Memo
TO: File / Paralegal FROM: Sarah Jenkins, Esq. RE: Case #FAM-2026-9872, Smith v. Smith DATE: February 14, 2026 I met with our client, Marcus A. Smith, regarding his ongoing separation from his spouse, Elena T. Smith. Marcus is currently residing at 123 Maple Street, Apt 4B, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Elena remains in the family home at 456 Oak Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90012. We need to file a formal Request for Order immediately. Marcus needs the court to grant him exclusive temporary control of the property located at 789 Pine Lane, Los Angeles, as he has been paying the mortgage and property taxes for this rental unit. He is requesting that Elena be barred from interfering with this property. Furthermore, the existing child support order from last June is no longer feasible; Marcus was laid off from his position at Tech-Solutions on January 30th and his income has significantly decreased. We are asking the court to re-evaluate the monthly support amount of $1,200. I have already instructed him to fill out the Income and Expense Declaration (FL-150) so we can attach it to the motion. Please ensure we note that we are requesting this for the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Central District. Our office, Law Offices of Jenkins & Associates, is located at 100 Main St, Suite 500, Los Angeles, CA 90014, and our office phone is 213-555-0199.
