Existing law provides that the proper court for trial of a proceeding to enforce a child support obligation is the superior court in the county where the child resides. Existing law authorizes a court, on motion, to change the place of trial in certain cases, and requires the court to which the case is transferred to have and exercise jurisdiction over the case as if it had been originally commenced in that court. This bill would require a court transferring jurisdiction of a family law action to retain jurisdiction, if another court has not assumed jurisdiction over the action or proceeding, to make orders designed to prevent immediate danger or irreparable harm to a party or to the children involved in the matter, or to prevent the immediate loss or damage to property subject to disposition in the matter. The bill would require the Judicial Council, by January 1, 2019, to establish timeframes for a court to transfer and to assume jurisdiction over a family law action or proceeding. The bill would also make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
