In times of domestic disputes, especially those involving the welfare and safety of children, the DV-108 form serves as a crucial tool for concerned parents. Anchored to a parent’s distress over the possibility of the other parent taking their children without consent, whether within the confines of California, to another state, or abroad, this form is a segment of a broader legal pursuit to ensure children's safety. Specifically, it is an annexure to the DV-105 form, which deals with requests for child custody and visitation orders. The DV-108 form allows a parent to outline their fears honestly, pointing to potential risks such as the other parent’s history of violating custody agreements, lack of strong ties to California, past behaviors indicating a preparation to leave, or even a history of domestic violence, child abuse, and abduction. Furthermore, it empowers the concerned parent to ask for specific court orders. These include restrictions on the other parent's ability to travel with the children without express permission or a court order, demands for notification and documentation related to any proposed travel, and even the extraordinary measure of requesting the other parent to post a bond as insurance for the children's return. By capturing a wide array of protective measures, the DV-108 form epitomizes the legal system’s adaptability to safeguard children’s best interests amidst family conflicts.
