Legal Question in Family Law in California
Modification of custody from out of state
I've just recently moved to Utah, my 2 boys,9&10, are in Calif. with their father. I lost them by default in 1995. At this time he remarried an ex-felon which I didn't know this until a year ago when I moved back with him to be with my boys. He threw me out in March, since then I've lost my job, my car was totaled, I had a minor nervous breakdown, it's been bad. I would like to know if there is anyway for me to get some kind of custody from here or should I go back? He and his new live-in are hitting them, they want to be with me. Is there a chance from here and what is the price range? Thank you

UT does not have jurisdiction. you dont have to move back to CA but you will have to file your papers here.
