Legal Question in Family Law in California

Ex parte applicable?
If this is a repeat question,I apologize.My ex and I have one child together.In 1998 there was a custody hearing. A 50/50 child custody order issued.The time share lasted approx. 9 months. Until dads lifestyle took priority again. I have had our child since 1999 exclusively.Last visit with dad was more than 2 yrs. ago,last conversation 07/04.Dad no longer lives in Sacramento. I want to get full custody on paper as well as physically. I'm working and would like to get all tax benefits.I have not recieved but 3 child support payments in 6 years. Also I'd like to intercept his income tax.He is self employed.Can I do this with an ex parte hearing? If so do I need a lawyer with me? Is there a different way for me to go about this? Your help is greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you In advance
Sincerely, P.D.

Re: Ex parte applicable?

On the child support issue, you should contact the Dept. of Child Support Services in the county where the child resides.

Custody would be changed through a regular motion. And yes, I highly recommend that you consult an attorney in more detail first.

Give us a call at anytime at 650-365-5145.
