Opinion
NICHOLSON, J.
Plaintiff challenges a trial court’s order transferring continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over a child support order to another state. She claims the governing statute mandated jurisdiction remain with the California court. We agree and reverse the trial court’s decision.
FACTS
Plaintiff Karen Stone and defendant Gary Davis are the parents of a son. In 1997, the Sacramento County Superior Court issued an order establishing joint legal custody and child support. The court granted Stone primary physical custody, and it ordered Davis to pay $212 per month in child support.
