Legal Question in Family Law in California

child support/ custody

I am in a crazy situation.. My 8 year old is in texas with her grandma, my ex husband is in oklahoma and i am in california. I have 3,000 plus in child support debt i owe to my ex husband who does not have our little girl and no one can help. I am also seeking custody of her but where do i file all these papers I have no job and a 3 month old. I live with My Fiancee and they will go after him for the child support once we are married. I'm so confused as to where i need to start. DHS Took/ restricted my passport and my driver license.

Re: child support/ custody

Where was the initial case filed? You might to file it with that court (or, if not in California or file a motion to change venue). If it's in California, you might consider filing an order to show cause regarding modification of custody, visitation and child support. Your support will continue to accrue until the current order is changed. So take action right away.
