The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) determines which state has the ability to issue custody and child support orders. If a parent moves with the minor children to a different state than California before obtaining a custody order, that parent may be required to return to Orange County to litigate custody even though the minor children live in the new state. Courts try to ensure that the parent who moves away fosters continuing contact with the parent who stayed in the old state.
