Legal Question in Family Law in California
child custody
My custody orders and divorce judgement are in San Diego County. Both I and my ex husband have moved to Riverside County since the divorce/custody became final. In order to make a modification of custody orders or file a violation of custody order, do I file in the same county where the order was originally filed or in the county I reside in now? The county I filed in orginally is actually closer for both me and my ex being that we both work in the original county still.

Re: child custody
Venue remains in San Diego County until it is moved to Riverside. That would only be completed upon motion but since neither of you want it in Riverside, there is no reason to move it. If one of you wanted to move it to Riverside, it is a toss-up of what would occur. But, the short answer to your question is that a motion should be filed in the court where the original order was made. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
