You or your defense attorney will have to file a motion for the change of venue to the court. A hearing will be held prior to the trial and you will have to argue why and for what reason you are requesting the change. Usually its because the defendant can not have a fair trail in the original county where the charges where filed. This is usually due to high publicity cases where there is intense media coverage.

What does motion for change in venue mean?
Change of venue in a criminal case is something that will take place if the Judge/Court feels that the defendant cannot receive a fair trial in a given venue because of prejudice. In civil cases a change of venue may take place just for the convenience of the parties involved. It's basically the change of location from one court to another court or from one county to another county.

How to Request change of venue in district court?
You have to file a written notice of motion to the court for an order granting a change in venue to another county. Check with the Clerk of the court in which your action is pending for the rules of procedure making motions in general and motions for changes in venue in particular. You will most likely have to at the very least file an affidavit showing facts that prove that you will not be able to receive a fair hearing in the present county of venue. This is generally not an easy thing to do since changes in venue are usually based on advance adverse publicity so pervasive it would prevent a jury from the area from giving an unbiased verdict. If this is a child support matter (since that is the original category) there is no jury involved. Thus you would probably have to prove that there is something within that county's court system that would prevent you from getting an unbiased ruling.
