Q: Can you move a case to another county?
I had a previous cps case due to my drug addiction, I am two in a half years sober and fighting for custody in Spencer County while I live in Jefferson. Taylorsville (SC) is a small town, and my parents (have temporary custody) know everyone. Including the country attorney, cps workers, my children's guardian of eim (I don't know if I spelled that right), and our child support agent. It is impossible to prove because it's well hidden now, but I grew up knowing my parent's knew these individuals and now they are involved with our court case. I fear my dad is also paying people off. How can I get my case out of Spencer County and have it moved into my county for a fair case? (I will feel safe knowing that no bribes or personal discussions are going on in a different county because my parent's do not know anyone in the court room). Should I contact an ombudsman? Can I sue my parent's for years of emotional and physical abuse? (I am almost thirty)
A: Doubtful that you can have it moved. Doesn’t appear you have sufficient grounds to move it to another county.
