Jurisdiction Battle.. advice needed, thanks!
My husband and I have lived in London, UK for our entire marriage. We are both US citizens. I filed for divorce in the UK and as soon as my husband was served in London, he hired a Lawyer in California and rushed to file for a legal separation in the State of California on the same day. I am currently living in California, but have only been back for 2 weeks. He is still living in our London house. My divorce request was filed first, but my husband has now requested a stay on the divorce in London. He wants to have a legal separation in CA because he stands to lose less money here. We now have to have a hearing on jurisdiction.
Who has the jurisdiction???? England or California and does it make a difference that I have requested a divorce and he has only requested a legal separation since I do not yet meet California residency requirements. |

Who ever filed and properly served the person first normally has jurisdiction.
