California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from C.M. v. M.C., B270525 (Cal. App. 2017):
5. In her opening brief, M.C. states that she contended below that she "did not receive independent legal advice concerning the contract." It is unclear whether she intended to raise this claim on appeal. If so, she has forfeited the claim, as she has not provided any argument or citations to authority or to the record in support. (People v. Stanley (1995) 10 Cal.4th 764, 793.) We therefore need not consider whether her argument about the adequacy of the legal counsel she received was relevant to the requirements of section 7962 and, if so, whether the trial court erred in rejecting her argument below.
