California Court of Appeal, Second District, Division Three, 1995. 39 Cal.App.4th 1596, pp. 1605–1608.

Reviewed by Andrew (Andy) R. Gillin; publisher reported approval 2026-11-04. The original review date was not supplied.

## Case background

A guardian proposed a settlement for two children after their mother died. She later sought to withdraw it before approval. The other side asked the court to enforce it.

## Question before the court

Could the proposed deal be enforced after the guardian withdrew it, before court approval?

## What the court decided

The court reversed the approval. It explained that the court has its own role in protecting the child. Its ruling also addressed the limits on enforcing a withdrawn proposal.

## Limits

The case involved a dispute before approval. It does not set every step or fund choice for a child’s case.
