Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Change of venue

I am the residential, custodial parent of 2 living in another state. The divorce was granted in FL and the children and I hastily moved to GA. Divorce did not decrease the harassment, manipulation, threats, denial of support, psychological effects on the children, etc. He's over $20,000 in arrears, not including medical and such.

Almost every phone call is threatening me with court to force me back to FL. (yes, he's remarried with another child). WHAT IS THE CRITERIA to change the venue to the state the children and I reside? PLEASE!!!

Re: Change of venue

You should consult with a local attorney who can review your divorce papers. It is impossible to give you good advice in this type of forum.
