A: No, not on the court order. Customarily, jurisdiction is pled in the complaint. However, an objection to subject matter jurisdiction may be raised at any time, even after a decision is rendered. There are even instances when the court raises on its own. A decision that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction may/can result in a dismissal.

It is unclear what your circumstances are. For this reason, it is best to consult an attorney who can assess the specifics of your case.
