Title
Family Law: Transfer of Jurisdiction (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends the adoption of a new rule of court to implement family law-specific transfer of jurisdiction procedures to comply with the requirements of Assembly Bill 712 (Bloom; Stats. 2017, ch. 316). The legislation requires the council to adopt a rule of court to establish time frames for the transfer and receipt of jurisdiction over family law actions.
Recommendation
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 1, 2019, adopt California Rules of Court, rule 5.97, to establish procedures to implement the family law-specific provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 399 as required by recently enacted legislation.
