My child father is seeking to modify his child support in custody in the state of Florida. We just moved to Florida in August 2009. I was told when i filed for divorce, custody and child support that the state of California would not allot another state to modify custody and visitation orders. I was told by my lawyer that if we wanted to change the orders that we had to come back to California and request a modification. Is this information correct?

If neither parent or the child reside in the state which originally entered the custody decree, the child's "home state" may modify the custody provisions of that original decree. As to child support, if all of the parties were individuals reside in the state and the child does not reside in the issuing state, a tribunal of this state has jurisdiction to enforce and modify the issuing state's child support order.
