Jurisdiction and enforcement for custody and parenting time. It identifies the proper court, not the better parent.
## Working notes
[[Cal. Fam. Code § 3421]] addresses initial jurisdiction. Home-state analysis generally uses six months, with a from-birth rule for a child younger than six months and attention to temporary absences.
[[Cal. Fam. Code § 3424]] permits specified temporary emergency jurisdiction. [[Cal. Fam. Code § 3427]] addresses inconvenient forum, and [[Cal. Fam. Code § 3445]] addresses registration. None should be treated as an automatic transfer after a move.
> [!tip] Separate tracks
> [[Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)|UIFSA]] governs support. Custody jurisdiction does not resolve support jurisdiction.
