Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have Probate court ordered legal guardianship in California of two minors. Parents have signed concent form GC-085 to move out of state which I will present to the court requesting the move officially. I plan to move to North Carolina, my concern is custody once I get to North Carolina. NC courts do not grant legal guardianship unless the parents are died or rights are terminated. I have spokien to a few NC government entities who say they would honor California paperwork. Also after being in North Carolina for a few years and I decide to return to California, will my California documnets still be in affect?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Unless and until California is asked to and agrees to surrender jurisdiction over the minor children, California's orders and California's courts will control. You will probably want to take whatever steps are required under NC law to register an out of state order/judgment. That will then bind the NC government to follow the CA orders. From then on, unless you move to a third state, CA law and courts will continue to govern the guardianship.
