Legal Question in Family Law in California

Modification of Custody of Child

Divorce decree was in SC. Ex moved to CA with daughter and had decree moved to CA. While in CA, ex had a hearing (while I was in the brig bc of ex #2) that I was unable to attend and got a ridiculous amount of child support and full sole physical custody, not giving me any visitation. She has alienated me from my daughter, only allowing me to talk to her when she sees fit. She now lives in CO (has been there over the 6 month mark), I live in NE - over 6 months. I want to file modificaiton to custody and child support. Do I file that in CA or CO? What are my chances to accomplish this? Her standard of living has increased a lot since she was with me.

Re: Modification of Custody of Child

That depends upon many different things, such as were you ever a resident of California? Was there ever an order from SC that would transfer the case to CA? Probably your best bet is to contact your attorney in SC to determine if there was ever grounds to move the case to CA. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
