IAAL-getting conflicting info-please help~

What is the name of your state? Court order in CA, for now.
Niether party has any ties to CA court system and jurisdiction change is being requested regarding child support.
Several attorneys in NCP's state have stated that NCP need not wait the usual 6 months and that filing can begin immediately.
Now, from listening to cases in CA, that was almost the first question asked when judge presented with cases dealing with out of state parties..."how long has other party lived in other state..."? And it seemed like most cases were NOT heard by judge if the 6 month time thing was met.
So, my questions are this...
1) Have you dealt with change in jurisdiction issues regarding child support and neither party having ties to CA, and how might that have been handled?
2) Is it true, like I have been told, CA really doesnt like to give up jurisdiction and this could prove to be a lenghty battle?
thanks~

1) Have you dealt with change in jurisdiction issues regarding child support and neither party having ties to CA, and how might that have been handled?

MY RESPONSE: Yes, many times. Easy question, extremely difficult and lengthy to answer. It also depends upon the specifics of each case. Your question, therefore, is much to general to give a specific response.


2) Is it true, like I have been told, CA really doesnt like to give up jurisdiction and this could prove to be a lenghty battle?

MY RESPONSE: California is one of the most "protective" States of it's children, and of it's former court orders. Yes, it could be an extremely lengthy battle to wrest jurisdiction away from California.
