California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Grimmer, In re, 259 Cal.App.2d 840, 66 Cal.Rptr. 816 (Cal. App. 1968):
Transfer of a juvenile court proceeding is authorized when the 'residence' of the juvenile is changed to another county (Welf. & Inst.Code, 750). The propriety of the transfers thus turns upon 'residence.' That term is defined in some detail by the same code ( 17.1). The parties agree that the residence of the father does not determine that of the child, under subdivision (a) of section 17.1, because by the divorce decree the father 'has been legally deprived of his custody.' Our question is whether subdivision (b) or (c) is the applicable provision. The few reported decisions dealing with transfer (In re Gi, 134 Cal.App.2d 479, 286 P.2d 364; In re Alexander, 152 Cal.App.2d 458, 313 P.2d 182; County of Los Angeles v. Superior Court, 128 Cal.App. 522, 18 P.2d 112) are of no aid on this issue, and we must look to the statutes alone.
