Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child custody jurisdiction
My ex filed custody paper in the city of Orange however the children reside in Los Angeles County. I also reside in Los Angeles County. Does Orange County have jurisdiction? or should this case be heard in Los Angeles County Court?

Re: Child custody jurisdiction
The case probably should be heard in Los Angeles. You will have to retain an attorney to assist you in preparing the motion for a change of venue.
