What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada.
Hello..
Few questions here. Will keep it short and sweet.
I recently moved to California. I had undergone a modification to my custody order in Nevada (my former residence) just before I moved, to establish new out of state visitation guidelines for my child.
Soon after, my child and her mother also move to California from Nevada.
Given the child support rates are higher in California as compared to Nevada (Nevada has a maximum cap), I assume my child's mother would eventually pursue transferring the case from Nevada to California, now that we BOTH live here, in order to gain more income.
My question is: Is this possible given established the case in Nevada and just completed a fresh modification?
The research that I have done produced some vague and contradicting results. Some information says this is possible but under the 'Uniform Interstate Family Support Act' the state in which the case was established, has jurisdiction over the state in which the parents and child now reside. I've also read information to the contrary but dictates the outcome on WRITTEN CONSENT FROM BOTH PARENTS to move the case to another state. Confused.
Any knowledge of this? I would like to know more.
Thanks
