Moving to another state

[Random411]

What is the name of your state? OR but also regards CA

I have primary custody of my son. The case was held in a CA court. I have since moved to Oregon. Is there anything that I need to file to the court in CA or OR? Will the case remain at the court I had held it in or do I need to transfer the case to an Orgeon court? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or advice.

Did you notify the court and the other parent that you were moving? You could have problems with it if you didn't. Does the other parent still live in CA? If so, the case will stay in CA.

Hi VeronicaGia,

The other parent lives in CT. I notified her before I moved with all the current contact information. The court is the only notification I did'nt do. I was not sure if I was required to do that or not. If I need to contact them can you suggest where I can start.

Thank you,

Since the other parent doesn't live in CA, you don't have too much to worry about. However, you should send a certifed letter, return receipt to the other parent notifying her of your move including your new address. You should copy the court once you receive her signed receipt and include a copy of the signed receipt.

Once you have been in Oregon for six months, you should hire an attorney to help you ask CA to give up jurisdiction to OR. Realize however that CA is under no obligation to do so, but either way, your court order is still just as enforceable as it was when you lived in CA.

I will do that. Thank you very much for the advice =)
