Legal Question in Family Law in California

Short and sweet...

Daughter is 16

I have no legal or physical custody

There is a 12 year court order

I see and speak to my daughter regularly.

I pay child support.

Found out recently that my ex is planning on moving from Florida back to California (Where I live also). However, she is planning on sending my daughter to Georgia to live with a "friend". My ex has spent the last 12 years on some form of state assistance or another while I have worked hard to build a nice life for myself.

I have the ability to provide a comfortable and stable life for myself and my daughter. I have the desire to take custody of my daughter but will face some resistance from my ex and even my daughter (mainly because she is 16 and thinks she knows it all).

Where to start?

Without knowing where that 12 year old order came from, there is no way to answer your question.
