VIRGINIA Part 79

Can I change the state where the case is being heard?

If you move to another state, you may be able to change the state where the custody case is being heard (sometimes known as a "change of venue").  However, if there has been a lot of court dates for your case already or if the other parent objects to the case being moved, this might make it harder to transfer the case.  Generally, the judge hearing the case will need to be involved in this decision.  This is a complicated issue, so it may be best to contact a lawyer if this applies to you.
