An interstate jurisdictional issue arises when a child has relocated from their home state and lives in a different state. At issue is which state should hold the custody proceeding? Specifically, the UCCJEA, which stands for the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act, it&#8217;s a body of law that has been adopted by our 50 states so that if a child relocates from one state to another, all 50 states are utilizing the same body of law to determine which state should hold a custody proceeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One element that is very important in a UCCJEA proceeding is where&#8217;s the child&#8217;s home state? The home state is the state that the child has lived in for at least six months. A problem arises when a child does not have a home state. If the child doesn&#8217;t have a home state, then the court has to consider which state the child has the most contacts with: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where does the child go to school? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where are the child&#8217;s friends? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who are the child&#8217;s familial relationships?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of those are elements to consider in assessing where a child custody case should be brought if there are interstate issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Alsandor Law Firm offers personalized service and creative solutions to your unique family law issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":1517,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/shutterstock_1276191043-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1516"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1516"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2135,"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1516\/revisions\/2135"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alsandorlaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
