You probably need to file in Los Angeles. All the evidence about your child is in LA so the court would say that is the proper venue.

Well this does get complex so you should get advice from an attorney in California. Your son appears to have been in California long enough for that state to now have jurisdiction over him. A California custody attorney can tell you best how the New York ruling would be understood there.

You have to enroll the order in CA in the court area child resides in and then file a request for order to modify child custody.

Since the child has resided in California for the past year, you would need to proceed with a modification case in California. You would need to enroll the divorce judgment in California and file for modification there after the judgment has been enrolled.
