Does California hold jurisdiction over child support for another state
My husband filed for modification in California on 11/5/08. The paperwork started and as soon as the ex-wife received a letter to fill out her financial information she hired an attorney 12/5/08 to say he was in arrears with the child support. She lives in Missouri with her daughter and the divorce and child support originally happened in California. The case in Missouri was dismissed 12/09. Meanwhile there was a court case to finalize the modification in California 11/09. The support was modified and she filed an appeal in Missouri. The other judge granted her appeal on the basis that the original modification was only filed administratively not in the courts until 5/09. It seems that my husband is getting penalized for the long wait time of the court system in California. Is there anything that he could get from the courts or lawyer so our lawyer can use it in Missouri to show the process of filing a modification in California? He is paid up with the child support that was granted as the modification in November.
