Q: I had filed for a motion to transfer my case should I wait until I get approved to serve a copy to the petitioner
My child father is suing me for full custody of my son or visitation rights and he has never seen my son I also want to know if I do have a chance to terminate his parental rights cause he abandoned his child and has been charged with child endangerment and domestic violence against me and his wife has been sending me messages telling me she will rather send my son dead in a casket before I see him alive I don't feel it will be safe for my son to be with his dad especially since my son is sick and his dad has not been around since my son was born
A: If you filed a Motion to Transfer Venue, it will not be considered by the Judge until the other party is served and has an opportunity to respond.

A: If you feel the child is in danger hire an attorney to file an emergency request for relief. The attorney will take the appropriate steps to make sure that everything is filed in the correct place, that he hearing is set and that the other party receives notice of the hearing.
