Show up for mediation on the 4th and make sure you have filed your documents re; the original case/filing a few business days prior to the mediation. If you do not show up for mediation in CA, you can be fined up to $1,500 for the cost of the mediator's time. The mediator will review any documents filed in the case prior to the mediation session. Their report can then include the mother's proven lie that there was no other custody case pending.

Re; the vacation- Be prepared to cancel it. It is upsetting, but you'll have many vacations once this is settled. The custody case should be a priority over the vacation. You will likely have to attend the hearing on the 17th, with your documents and DAs service in the court file, and along with FCS report noting the same. It will then be up to the judge what to do.

What county are the original custody orders in? What county does the child live in, if there are no previous custody orders?

You would get better advice if you would answer ALL the questions. Which county has jurisdiction is a serious question.
