Although family law is the same throughout California, each individual County has specific forms and processes. Codes/statues, case law, and a majority of the forms throughout the state will be the same in every county but the practical court filing procedures and county specific forms can be different.

Continuing California Jurisdiction

/

Read below to see the complete text of California Family Code Section 342 regarding California’s Exclusive, continuing jurisdiction which may apply to your move-away case.

So long as one parent remains in the State of California, the State will continue to have the excusive right to make a child custody determination

3422.

  

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3424, a court of this state that has made a child custody determination consistent with Section 3421 or 3423 has exclusive, continuing jurisdiction over the determination until either of the following occurs:

(1) A court of this state determines that neither the child, nor the child and one parent, nor the child and a person acting as a parent have a significant connection with this state and that substantial evidence is no longer available in this state concerning the child’s care, protection, training, and personal relationships.

(2) A court of this state or a court of another state determines that the child, the child’s parents, and any person acting as a parent do not presently reside in this state.

(b) A court of this state that has made a child custody determination and does not have exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under this section may modify that determination only if it has jurisdiction to make an initial determination under Section 3421.

(Repealed and added by Stats. 1999, Ch. 867, Sec. 3. Effective January 1, 2000.)
