In re C.M. CA2/2
In this juvenile dependency case, G.M. (father) challenges the juvenile court’s jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA or Act) (Fam. Code, § 3400 et seq.) to issue a final custody order as to his children. Both father and his wife A.L., who is the mother of his children (mother), are from Honduras. Father claims the juvenile court improperly exercised subject matter jurisdiction here because Honduras was the children’s “home state” for purposes of jurisdiction under the Act and, despite multiple good faith efforts below to reach a Honduran court, no Honduran court declined to exercise its jurisdiction over this matter. Father does not argue the juvenile court could never have jurisdiction here. Rather he claims the matter must be remanded so that the court can try again to contact a Honduran court to inquire whether that court wishes to exercise its jurisdiction over the case.
