Legal Question in Family Law in California

divorce

My wife and I separated about two years ago, and never got a divorce. I have my daughter every other weekend and every Wednesday. Last year she keep giving me excuses why I could not see my child. Then she told me that she moved to Tampa for a temp job, and that she would only be down there for three months. Now she wants the divorce, and I do too. But now she says the job is not a temp job and she is staying in Tampa, and if that is the case then I want my child back in California, and do I do this in California, or Tampa? And to top it off we were married in Reno.

You need to do an ex parte Order to Show Cause asking for custody here in CA immediately.

Re: divorce

California still has jurisdiction. Your wife basically hoodwinked you with child custody. Courts will likely go with the status quo, which is child lives in Tampa.
