Expert: Dan Bachert - 10/22/2009
Question
I received a Motion to Trans Venue today in the mail. My ex filed it after I had him served with a Petition for Contempt (Child Support). I have had to take him to court 6 times since our divorce in 2004, that is the only way he will pay. Could this be a delaying tactic? Why would he care what county has jurisdiction?
Answer
Hi Karie, usually a party will file a Motion to Transfer Venue if the action was brought in the wrong venue to begin with or for their convenience, based upon where they reside. However, in a Motion for Contempt the court that originally made the order subject to the Motion for Contempt will retain jurisdiction of the action unless neither party continues to reside within that county or the children no longer reside within that county. At any rate the Motion itself should state the reasons the change is sought. If you are worried about it being filed for delay tactics then call the court to set the Motion for Hearing so that it will be heard as quickly as possible.
