Legal Question in Family Law in California
child support
I am the non-custodial parent paying child support to my daughters mother. About a year ago, she moved from CA to TN. However, I am still paying my support to VA. VA is still forwarding this money to CA. I know this because they routinely send me payment warnings, even though I pay my support every month w/o fail. I have less than a year before my child turns 18yo, I really do not want to ''stir the pot,'' what should I do? Notify VA, CA of this or ...

Dear Inquirer:
Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.
If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).
NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --
Notifying Virginia should be sufficient, and should be a fairly routine administrative matter if you can provide your ex wife's new address. Otherwise, you might want to contact an experienced Family Law attorney in the California county where your ex-wife formerly lived for specific advice and possible representation on your behalf.
Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry, and good luck with your case.
Re: child support
Notify all three jurisdictions(VA., CA.,TN.)Keep
careful payment records of your own. Make
all support payments with cancelled checks which
will be returned to you by your bank.
