Child Support Services v. Briscoe CA4/3
In Riverside County Department of Child Support Services v. Briscoe (May 5, 2015, G050115) [nonpub. opn.] (Briscoe I) this court concluded two things:
– California did not have personal jurisdiction over Tim Briscoe, a resident of Michigan, until September 11, 2008; thus child support orders entered against him in Riverside Superior Court in 1999 and 2001 were void at least until September 11, 2008.
– A child support order made in Michigan in 1999 was the exclusive operative child support order concerning Briscoe’s son Marion until Briscoe moved to Texas sometime after September 11, 2008. But even though there never was a Texas support order, Michigan relinquished its exclusive jurisdiction in February 2011. That relinquishment allowed California’s support orders to become effective when Briscoe moved to Texas. We did not know exactly when that was.
