Legal Question in Family Law in California

Judicial Notice

What is judicial notice? Why would it be used in a family child visitation & custody case? Can I object to the other party requesting judicial notice? If so, does there have to be specific grounds as to why I am objecting? Thanks

Re: Judicial Notice

See Evidence Code Sections 451 and 452. Judicial notice is a request that the court consider some existing evidence, most commonly records from a public entity or other lawsuit. You can object if the request is not proper, i.e., the requirements for judicial notice haven't been followed.
