David’s answer: First, you need to get ahold of that CT divorce decree. You may indeed need to move to vacate that decree for want of jurisdiction (i.e., failing to properly serve you). Before you bring anything in New York, the Court will want to see a copy of that prior order. Indeed, if it addresses custody (and it probably does), then you MAY need to move to modify as part of the CT divorce case. You may have an argument, however, that New York take jurisdiction on an emergency basis. -- David Bliven, Westchester Co. Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
