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?
