Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I have been happily divorced for the last 4 years. Our final judgement was completed in Volusia Co.FL, however in May of 2008, my high quality ex-husband filed for custody of our daughter. I have been residing in Clay Co., FL for the last 2 years with my child. For the last year I have been driving back and forth to Volusia Co. I have heard that the custody should of been filed in Clay since myself and minor child reside there. So my question is this: Which county should this be handled in?

Thank you in advance,

Karen

It is up to the court as to where it will be heard. Volusia is a proper venue, as is Clay.
