Legal Question in Family Law in California

Your ex should have filed and served you notice of his request for a change of custody. If he failed to give you proper notice of a pending hearing, you must properly and timely notify the court according to the Family Code and local rules of your request to have any orders set aside and request a new hearing. If he has served you, then you should file your answer to the motion and follow the local rules on participating in family court mediation prior to the matter being heard by the court.
