I have tried to google and can’t find much of an answer. I also went to Union County Courthouse and asked but was told I would need to research it myself.
I have sole legal and physical custody of my daughter. The agreement goes out of Anson County where her Mother lives.
Myself and my daughter have lived in Union County for over a year.
I would like to ask the courts to change the county in which the agreement come out of. I would prefer to go to court in Union county where I live going forward if anything needs to be modified on the order.
What do I do? Just write a letter stating my reasons and bring it to Anson County? I was told there is no paperwork to fill out for this. Thank you
If you have a permanent order and there is nothing pending with the court, then you cannot transfer the case to another county. Your court order is valid throughout North Carolina.
If there later becomes an issue and you need to file a motion to modify the court order, then you would also file a motion to change venue along with the motion to modify. A case can only be transferred from one county to another by order of a judge.
