Legal Question in Family Law in California
Change of Custody
Currently my ex-husband has primary custody of my two children and I used to live in the San Bernardino county. Now, I have re-married and live in the Orange county and my ex lives in los Angeles co. Where do we need to file the change? How successful can we be in altering the previous court orders? Would my new husband have to be part of the custody?
Thanks if any help can be provided?

Re: Change of Custody
In a general sense, you have to go to the court that issued the order in order to modify it, or stipulate to or file a motion for change of venue.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Re: Change of Custody
You must file your motion in the court that issued the order. Proper venue, if changed, would now be in Los Angeles, which is where the children live. You will probably be able to change the child sharing order since circumstances have changed and the children are older. When you file your motion to modify in San Bernardino, you can file a motion for change of venue, if you want venue changed to Los Angeles. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
