If one parent has sole legal and physical custody(lives in another state) and the other only has rights to supervised visits and this parent filled in va to change order, what state will the visits take place in? Anyway we can get it sent up here?jurisdiction is there but we might not be able to get down there and we have all ready had the date changed once, can we maybe get it changed again so we can get down there. We are not trying to prevent anything, we have kept email/ im contact with the kids and ncp.

Re: out of state child visitation

If jursidcition is with Virginia and a motion has been filed to modify an existing order with respect to visitation, the matter will be decided by a Virginia court. As to whether the court will change the date again for the scheduled hearing to accommodate a party, you would need to contact the clerk's office for that information.
