Opinion
KLINE, P, J.
Tiela Chalmers and Michael F.,1 the biological parents of Eliana F, entered into a contract to share custody of Eliana. At the time of Eliana’s birth, Tiela was in a relationship with Lisa Hirschkop. In 2008, after Tiela and Lisa had terminated their relationship, Lisa filed a request as a stepparent pursuant to Family Code section 3101 for visitation with Eliana.2 The court’s order on October 23, 2008, denied Lisa’s petition (the 2008 order), and found that she had failed to meet the burden of proof required to override the parents’ joint decision regarding visitation.
