Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My husband and his ex wife got divorced in Illinois. The divorce, child support, custody, and visitation all went through the court there. She moved with their daughter to Arizona a year ago. We moved to Indiana 4 months ago. Now that no one lives in Illinois, shouldn't the court change to one of our locations for any court related issues?
