Florida Out-of-State Custody Proceedings Attorney
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) is a uniform act that defines a child's "home state" as the state where the child has lived with his or her parent for a period of six consecutive months. The six consecutive months must conclude before the out-of-state custody dispute begins.
If the child has not lived in the same state with a parent for six consecutive months, there may be a dispute over jurisdiction. At the office of attorney Philip J. Schipani, P.A., we have experience working with clients in several different states. Let us use our experience to help you.
