Q: Is there anyway to get a family law case moved to the county I live in and how?
My daughter father put a petition for paternity custody and support. He is in broward County fl and I reside in Polk County. I have no money or transportation to get to broward and I only have 14 more days to respond. How do I go about this.
A: A paternity case can be where either parent lives or the child lives. You do not mention where the child lives. If the child is with you then you can ask the court to move the case based on that. If the child is with dad in Broward then you will have a harder time. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice. Look for someone that offers a free consultation.
