Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Jurisdiction stays in the county in which the divorce occurred. It is in the discretion of that Court to move it to another jurisdiction, but an application would need to be made to that Court with reasons why the move to the other county is justified.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, [856-546-8010] mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

In order to change venue, you have to file the a motion in the county where he filed the current motion and where the divorce was granted. However, you can file a request to change to the county where you reside as part of your cross-motion. Motions to change venue are not automatically granted, it is up to the court whether they will change venue.
