What is your hearing on the 26th for? If it is regarding custody and visitation, then you can request the court to make the modifications you want. If not, you need to file an Order to Show Cause to modify visitation. Good Luck.

This answer should not replace the legal advice you should seek in an office consultation with an attorney skilled in California Family Law.

The CA courts consider the best interests of the child as including the ability for the child to have frequent ongoing contact with each parent.If your case is set for hearing on parenting issues, then the court can consiuder your request for a variance in the parenting plan. However as noted in the earlier answer, if the case is on calendar for other reasons and you have not properly brought the issue of parenting before the court, then you need to take the appropriate steps to set the matter for hearing.
