Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
In Florida, a divorce was filed in the county in which the now ex-wife and ex-husband lived together. The ex-wife moved to another county years ago and is the custodial parent. The family law case remained in the original county where the divorce was filed. The ex husband still lives in the original county. If the ex-husband moves to another county, can the ex-wife have the family law case moved to her county?

No, unless the ex-husband does not object. The choices would be for her to file in the old county or in the ex-husband's new county.
The original county retains jurisdiction. However as to venue the court could move the case to where the child lives, most likely, or where the father lives. Contact my office for free consultation. 727-446-7659.
If the ex wife has issue with the ex husband - she will need to file her papers in the county where he lives unless he agrees to 1. remain in the old county for trial or 2. allow papers to be filed in her county and come there.
