Re: child born in Wi now in Ca, Father wants full custodey
If she moves back without the daughter he will have custody and an advantage. California may be the child's home state. Further the parent with custody has an advantage when it comes to a custody decision by the court. She should insist that her daughter go with her to WI. Otherwise she should remain in CA until there is a custody order. His statement while it may have some appeal appears to be a trap for her to insure that he gets custody. She needs to retain an attorney to assist her in obtaining custody and an order to move to WI.
