Do you have to go to the same court house where you got divorced to change custody decree?
This depends on two factors.
- Have the children resided in the county for at least the last 6 months
- If not, is the non-custodial parent still a resident of the county.
Though jurisdiction can be transferred to any new county or state where they have resided for al least 6 months, this is not mandatory. In cases where they have been moved out of state, than the county can retain jurisdiction even if the non-custodial resides outside the county, provided the residence is still within the state.
