Re: change venue
Sure, the defendant can motion for a change of venue. However, whether the court will grant the motion or not may depend upon factors other than where the parties reside. (If the defendant is employed in Loudoun County and/or has assets there or Loudoun is somehow connected to the plaintiff's claim(s) underlying the lawsuit, the motion to change the venue would likely be denied.)
