Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Re: change of venue

Since you now live in NC and you have legal/physical custody of the children, who also reside in NC, jurisdiction will likely be in the state of the children's residence, i.e. NC. MO. has no jurisdictional claims and unless you and your X agreed that OR. will be the jurisdictional situs of all future custody/support issues, NC will likely be the correct jurisdiction for any claims your X might file. Even if you and your X agreed to OR. jurisdiction, the children are here. There can be some complications. I do not know the full story and it is difficult to provide an exact black or white answer but this is pretty much the overview of custody issues. If you want to discuss this further, e-mail me at [email protected] .
