Legal Question in Family Law in California
i missed a court case relating to the custody of my child. i missed my court date due to fact that i was incarcerated. Custody has now been handed over to my ex. what are my legal options to change who has custody?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You should file a motion to modify the custody order due to the fact that you were incarcerated. However the reality of the situation is that you may not be able to have custody since you are in jail, and the other parent may have to have temporary custody of the child.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
