Legal Question in Family Law in California

Transfering a case to a different state

I moved with our son from California to Minnesota in June 1999. I want to know how I get my case/court orders sent to the court house in the town in which I currently reside. I was able to leave the state via a court order. The father no longer lives in the county in which our case was heard. I have heard several different ways I need to go about doing this. Neither of the court houses could give me a definite answer.

Re: Transfering a case to a different state

The origional court retains jurisdiction, so you need to file a motion to have the cases transferred. Your motion may not be granted if it would cause a burden to your child's father. If the father agrees, you need simply file a stipulation with the father's consent. The motion needs to be heard in the origional county court.
