A: It sounds like the judge denied your DV100 and DV110 (TRO) request and noted that the facts given in the request may not have been sufficient to grant the TRO. Additionally, the judge recommended that if you want to request a custody order, you should do so separately by filing an RFO (Request for Order).

An RFO is a separate legal form used in California family court to request an order from the judge for various issues such as custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, or property division. It is possible that the judge is suggesting that you file a separate RFO form if you want to request a custody order, rather than including it in the same request with the DV100 and DV110 forms.

It's important to note that without more information, it's difficult to say for certain what the judge meant by the note on your DV-108. If you are unsure about what steps to take next, it may be helpful to consult with an attorney who can provide guidance based on the specifics of your case.
