Legal Question in Family Law in California

Children

My question is what the law is and what I should do. I have two kids that the mother just up and left out of state with them. one child is mine by blood and she has a daughter that calls me daddy since she was 6 months old. She did tell me she was leaving but I didnt think it would be out of state.

Re: Children

The general rule is that the home state for the children is the state in which they have lived the past 6 months. With few exceptions that state has jurisdiction over the children. Acting quickly is imperative in your case.

You should consult with an attorney as these cases are decided on the facts and circumstances of each case. This makes them much to complex to review over the internet.
