Hi
I would like to know if temporary custody is given in one state(GA) then the child is taken out of state to (VA). Does GA. Still have jurisdiction over the case.

This site is organized with subforums within forums. Each forum is a broad area of interest, the subforums within are more specific areas. Within each subforum are threads started by members. When posting, it is better to use a subforum that relates to your question and to use a thread (or better yet, start one) that pertains to your question.

This subform is specifically for people to introduce themselves to other members. There is a Family Law subform in the Family and People forum that would be more appropriate for help with your question.

But your question should be directed to the attorney handling the divorce.

Hi, Mortimer,
Usually yes; the state initiating the case is usually the Original State of Jurisdiction.
As another said, please talk with your lawyer, and get Professional opinions of it.
Happy New Year, and best of luck.

Yes, unless GA relinquishes the case to VA.

Yes, but also don't expect the authorities of the other state to be of any help with anything but child support, and normally that will be done though an interstate agreement if they are collecting it for you.

Also not wanting to be rude, I will assume you had permission to move the child out of state on the temporary custody order.
