How can I get a change of venue out of Onondaga County, when they have denied them in the past?

Q:  How can I get a change of venue out of Onondaga County, when they have denied them in the past? I've been informed that the original jurisdiction has to approve it. There is a current order. There are no pending petitions/motions right now, but if I want to petition a new one, can I just submit it to another court outside of Onondaga, along with the change of venue request?


A:  David's Answer:  Generally support & custody applications are done in the county where the child resides. That said, if venue was established in one county & change of venue previously denied, then it's likely to be denied again. If you file in another county, the other parent can oppose the application & ask that venue be changed back per the prior order. Schedule a consult with a Child Support lawyer in your area.   -- David Bliven, Westchester Child Support attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
