It depends. Is there a current custody case open? If there is then that county has jurisdiction of the matter. Could it be moved to Yolo county? Maybe. It depends upon your facts. If there has never been a child custody/visitation order in any county and you are the primary then you can file in Yolo county. You should speak with an attorney regarding your issues. No answer on a website should ever substitute the representation you would receive from experienced and knowledgeable counsel.
