Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I need to know from a lawyer in Florida.... We have been ordered into mediation in Escambia county Florida reguarding custody of my daughter. We would like to know if there is any reason or any justification for us to prevent us from requesting a mediator in the county in which we reside (alachua).
we did not initiate the emergency hearing that ordered the mediation and we did not and nor does the petitioner reside in escambia county. In short there is no reason for this to be mediated in escambia county except for the judge is in escambia county. My daughter was living with her grandmother while attending school in pensacola. I was residing in New Orleans and could not afford to send her to private school over here and the public schools ratings were so bad. I am now living in gainesville and my daughter will be with me when the school year is over so that i do not have to switch her school at such a late date. Now that I reside in Florida, can I change the county in which this case is being heard in?

If neither party resides in Escambia county then I would suggest you get an attorney to file a change of venue.
