Title: Jurisdiction
Post by: PaulG on Jan 12, 2005, 03:23:38 PM
My ex and daughter moved from NY to CA. My ex is now in the process of seeking child support. Which state has jurisdiction, NY or CA? The divorce was in NY, if that matters...

Thank you,
Paul

How long ago did they move?

Are you still in NY?

As long as you remain a resident of NY, NY retains continuous, exclusive jurisdiction over any modification of support.
