Legal Question in Disability Law in California

There is a civil matter in the superior court of another county. I am a disabled senior and cannot independently travel there to see the file, file papers, or attend the hearing/s. The truejurisdiction for this matter is in my own county, but the court is ignoring that fact. The executive office refuses to make any accommodations for the file to be temporarily be relocated to a location that is accessible to me. The documents I have received from the other party refers to documents I have never been served and information that is blatantly false. What can I do to remedy this situation?

Travel to look, or get someone to do so. Check to so if the file is accessible on line, some counties are. Some charge for it. It is a felony to remove the file from the clerk's office, so asking the clerk to do so is completely out of line. If you have grounds for a change of venue or jurisdiction, or grounds to contest the pleadings, then you must bring the appropriate motion[s] to do so. If this is in SoCal courts, and if you are serious about hiring counsel to represent and assist you, feel free to contact me.
