The appellate court in Lyons v. Municipal Court, supra, 75 Cal.App.3d 829, 142 Cal.Rptr. 449, rejected an analogous argument to the one we discuss here regarding the family law court's misdemeanor jurisdiction.

He was charged in municipal court with, and convicted of, failing to provide child support in violation of section 270, a misdemeanor.
