FAQ
Generally, once a court has jurisdiction, that court will keep jurisdiction, even if you move to another state. If you have moved, you can ask the court that issued the original order to transfer the custody case to the new state that you are in.
The initial jurisdiction is based on where a minor child has resided for the 6 months prior to the filing of a case. This is considered the child's “home state” and the child's home state is most generally the only state where child custody cases can be heard.
In State cases it can be done but you would have to file Standing to change venue. That the state you want to move the case to has “standing” to take legal jurisdiction of the case from the other state.
If it is legal for you to move across state lines with the children under those laws, and you wish to transfer the custody matter, you can file an “inconvenient forum” motion in the original court with the help of your attorney, which asks the original state to transfer the case to the state where you want to move to.
In Washington state, if you are in a situation where the other parent to your child is not following the parenting plan in bad faith, then your recourse is to file a contempt action in court.
See our fact sheet Paternity and Child Custody for the list. In general, a noncustodial parent gets a minimum of 25% of the parenting time. This is calculated by counting the number of overnights in a 2-week period. For example, 25% equals about every other weekend and one day a week.
This means that should the court determine that a parenting time amount of less than 25 percent is in the child's best interests, whether because of the traveling distance between the parents' homes, safety issues, work schedules, etc., the court may award a parent less than 25 percent of the parenting time.
A 70/30 child custody schedule grants the primary custodial parent significantly more time (70%) with the child than the other parent gets (30%). It also allows both adults to be involved with their child's life while minimizing how often a child must move from one parent's home to the other's residence.
