Legal Question in Family Law in California
My wife and I were married and lived first in CA (2 years) and then in VA (3 years). She left me and took our 2 children to CA. She filed for divorce in CA and a child support order was put into effect. I filed to modify the support order and to modify the custody agreement so that I could have my children with me in the summer time. There are two hearings for each of these issues scheduled in April. My wife moved to Nevada just three months ago. Now my employer says they have a support order also from Nevada (in addition to CA). Is this possible? Can the two hearings in CA go through so that things can be straightened out?

Without looking at the pleadings, I suspect the Nevada case may be generated to collect ongoing support through their child support services. Please discuss this aspect of your case with an experienced Nevada attorney. As to the pending matter in California, you need to notify the court that she moved to Nevada but still request the parenting time share you seek in that April hearing.
Ms. Kock is correct. I suggest you follow her advice exactly and do it quickly. Also, unless the appearances in California are removed from the Calender make sure you show up.
Good luck
