A: That is dependent upon the modifications that were made in New Jersey and if your order stipulates where the jurisdiction is. Speak to the attorney who represented you in Colorado and also consult a local attorney in New Jersey. Most attorneys provide a free consultation. Bring all orders and modifications with you so that the attorney can review it..
