UCCJEA (Child Custody Enforcement) In Los Angeles
In 1997, Congress passed the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) in order to address two major concerns relating to child custody laws throughout the United States. First, the UCCJEA provides clear standards that states now rely upon in considering matters of original jurisdiction and interstate child custody.
After more than 30 years of basing decisions on the old Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA), courts were becoming increasingly concerned about how to modify custody arrangements in a society that is becoming increasingly mobile and complex. In addition, the UCCJEA gives judges a clear process for determining and enforcing interstate custody and visitation rights. Judges and family court professionals now have clear parameters for deciding on matters involving custodial child relocation to another state, modification of parenting schedules and the enforcement of parental rights.
