i am in california, my ex is in North Carolina.
When I was in the hospital after an accident, my ex took our children to live with him in North Carolina. I gave my consent for him to take them on a temporary basis until my physical therapy was done and I was strong enough to care for them again. He moved immediently and it took me a while to locate him. 6 months and 1 day after he disapeared, I was served with custody modification papers. The really strange thing is the papers were filed in a county where neither of us have ever lived. he lives in a neighboring county. Would the county he filed in have jurisdiction? No that is not my greatest problem here, but I am trying to figure out what he is up to.
