Q: i want to move my divorce from gwinnett to walton county ga
A: The divorce can only be moved from county to county if the case was filed in the wrong county. If the marital home was in Gwinnett or the respondent lived in Gwinnett at the time of filing, venue is probably correct in Gwinnett.
A: I would speak to an attorney to determine if the case should have been filed in Walton county or if Gwinnett was the proper place for the action to be filed. Because it will likely only be transferred if you can show that venue is not proper where it is currently pending.
