Q: where can I find attorney who can help me change venue for divorce from Santa Clara to Orange County.
I filed divorce in 2016. Our child and I are living in Orange County since 2017. Recently, the other party stopped make a payment for child and spousal support. The other party didn't comply the discovery and we are high conflict. I can't drive 7 hours to the court to attend the hearing during our child at school.
A: An attorney can help you file a motion for a change of venue (request for order) with the Santa Clara court. The court will then consider your motion along with your supporting declaration. You will need to contact attorneys directly. Take care. Rob Kane. Orange County Family Law Attorney.

A:
You can start by contacting the Orange County Bar Association. They offer a lawyer referral service that can connect you with attorneys experienced in family law and venue changes. Visiting their website or calling their office can provide you with a list of qualified professionals in your area.
Another option is to search online legal directories such as Avvo or LegalMatch. These platforms allow you to read reviews and compare attorneys based on their expertise and client feedback. This can help you find someone who understands the specific challenges you’re facing.
Additionally, consider asking for recommendations from friends or family members who have gone through similar situations. Personal referrals can lead you to trustworthy lawyers who are committed to helping you manage your case efficiently, especially with the logistical challenges you mentioned.
