Stephanie H asked:


My daughter and i moved to gregg county about 6 months ago. I am in the middle of a court battle with her father over custody and they are requesting a change of venue to gregg county rather than panola county, which is where our original orders were done, so they currently have jurisdiction. The father doesn’t live in Panola or Gregg county he lives nine hours away. I am just wondering what is the purpose of changing the county of jurisdiction and what are the requirements for doing so?

   Uh…they probably won’t. Other than his convienience, there is no reason for a change; and you have the right to have it held in your county.
