I moved out of an apartment one month early and was charged for the remaining month. I gave 60-day notice prior to moving. However, the apartment complex was bought by another company and the month that I was to move, was the month the new owners took over. They claimed they did not see the notice... View More

The legal guardian of my children reside in a different county as I do. I would like to file for full custody in the county I reside and for my case to be heard in the county court where I reside versus in the county in which my children reside.
answered on Jun 13, 2016
Generally speaking, so long as the children reside in the state of Virginia, a suit may be brought in the county where either of the parties to the action reside. Although, nothing is necessarily stopping the other side from hiring an attorney and trying to force the case back to their... View More

answered on Jun 11, 2016
Yes, but you may be able to petition the court for a change. Seek out legal counsel for more information.

Custody is not about who files first, but where the children are going to have the best environment that meets their needs and interests. As such, you need to reach out to a Family Law attorney to discuss these issues.
