Meinhold v. La Pointe CA3
Jonathan S. La Pointe, Father, appeals from a court order declining to exercise jurisdiction over this matter under the Uniform Child Custody and Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and ceding jurisdiction to Johnson County, Kansas. Father contends the trial court found California an inconvenient forum without considering or weighing all the factors under Family Code section 3427, and erred in declining to exercise jurisdiction because California continues to have jurisdiction under section 3422.
As a preliminary matter, on this record, we conclude Father’s appeal is timely. On the merits, we conclude the trial court considered and weighed all the factors under section 3427. We also conclude section 3422 does not apply to this case. We affirm the orders of the trial court.
