Clarksburg, WV asked in Family Law for Pennsylvania

Q: What forms do I need to change the venue of a custody case from one state to another?

The venue originally should hv been held in WV where my child had resided from 3 months of age to the present day. He is now 2 yrs 7 months old. The opposing attorney and judge are crooked in PA where the case is being held presently. It has been 2 yrs as well. I need to get the venue changed from PA to WV. The attorney I had chosen in PA ( while my child and I still live in WV) failed to do his job and my child and my family and I have gotten stuck in a bad situation where the best interest of the child has been not been considered and the judge is running his own circus.

A: You can always consult another attorney. Usually, despite what you believe, there are good, legal reasons why a case is not moved to another jurisdiction., For example, the length of time the child has resided in the current jurisdiction.
