My ex and I were married in Texas and our daughter was born here. We moved to North Carolina back in 2000 and were divorced in North Carolina in 2002. Since the divorce my daughter and so did my ex. How can I file a change of jurisdiction/venue for our divorce so that the decree can be registered and modified in Texas? I can’t seem to find any example forms online and was wanting to submit the request on my own rather than try and hire an attorney over the phone.
