California
I will make the opening brief
Father and I apart for 4 years, 1 child 13 years old, Father had restraining order issued against him in 2004 due to parental kidnapping. Restraining order expired Sept 07. In May 07 father was spotted at my home looking in windows and taking mail, as a result of his actions probation from abduction was revoked and no bail warrent issued for arrest. He also has 2 felony (fraud and embezzlement) and 3 misdemeanor warrents out in my county. He has been a ghost and I have not known where he was residing. He served me with divorce papers and visition papers in Nov 07 in county 250 miles from me. I showed up to mediation and court hearing, he did not. Judge issued $500 bench warrent, I was also awarded $657 per month child support in his absence. He again served me with Status only on child support and visition in June 08. This time he showed up to mediation and was arrested on outstanding warrents. He is waiting in jail 250 miles away to be shipped to my local county to see go before a judge.
My question is: Now that he is in custody and will be shipped to my county what do I need to do to have the divorce case heard here? Is it complicated?
Thank You in Advance for you help
