California Court of Appeal

A California court order finding Illinois to be a more convenient forum to resolve certain child custody issues is reversed and remanded, where: 1) before a court determines that California is an inconvenient forum to resolve custody issues, the court must provide the parties with an opportunity to present evidence on the issue; and 2) due to the lack of evidence in this case, it cannot be determined if the trial court considered and applied the statutory factors set forth in Family Code section 3427.
