It really depends on contempt of what issue. If it involves the child, it would likely be best to file in the state where the child lives, which appears to be NJ. If you are just trying to collect money, it might be best to file in TX. However, I cannot be certain that this is correct without knowing more details. To begin to get the answers, you should meet with a family law attorney who practices in the county where you live and discuss the matter in full detail. Best of luck! Rob Gleaner
