Legal Question in Family Law in California
Divorce Injunctions requiring parent that has already moved from state to return
If my husband files for divorce in California, will I be forced to move back to California even though I moved to Oklahoma when we separated 2 months ago? We have a son. My husband is military. I am establishing residency in Oklahoma, where I am from. But am a legal resident of California, because I resided there for longer than 6 mo and paid taxes there. I understand California has juristiction until I have resided in Oklahoma for 6 mo. If he files before then, do I have to return. I am employed here and would lose my job and means of supporting myself. I do not recieve any assistance from my husband here.

You would not have to move back to CA but you may be required to litigate the case here which would mean hiring a lawyer here to represent you and coming back to attand the trial.
