I need help changing my divorce jurisdiction/venue. My ex-husband resided in Floirda, while I have residence in Virginia, to appease him and get the divorce over with so I could move on with my life, I agreed to file in Florida.
We have two young children who spend the school year with me and summers with him. Every summer he threatens and tries to intimidate me, telling me that he is going to keep the children down there. I know this would be considered interparental kidnapping, but I constantly worry that he will file a motion there and it will be virtually impossible for me to get down there and plea my case. What I want to do is move the jurisdiction/venue here to Virginia and was wondering how I would go about it? I figure that it shouldn't be a problem, since this is the kids primary residence, but I would rather be sure on the matter... Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if you received any posts with advice on how to go about changing the jurisdiction. I am in the process of needing to do the same and wanted to know if I had the correct form and how to correctly fill it out...Its quite confusing Thanks...you may respond to me at my email address... new-car2008@hotmail.com.....anyone that can help it would be greatly appreciated as time is very crucial. Thanks
Ok first you can only do it if the other party agree's, or no party lives in the same juristiction. Also, where you want the case moved has to accept the case. As you may know most places have backlog and won't take transferred cases. I have done so, but it wasn't easy. Nor am I happy. I dislike what the judges have done here.
My experience w/most of the judges in Fla, is standard, if it's not broke, they won't fix it. If he tries something illegal they will come down hard on him, regardless of you living up North. Almost any atty., will not even bother to take him as a client unless he has some viable and crucial evidence against you. He's just being a bully. Any petition he files for modification, you can go on Fla.'s self help website, print out what you need and do it yourself...that's how much of a chance he has of getting custody of the kids..legally.
