changing jurisdiction

[EEck]

What is the name of your state? OH

Does anybody know how likely it would be for a judge to grant
a change in jurisdiction if the counties are adjoining?

(one county is more aggressive than the other in persuing c.s.)

thanks ahead for any thoughts.

My response:

Presuming the child and / or the other parent still live in the county of filing, then it's not going to happen. A judge from one county cannot simply abdicate jurisdiction without a reason, and place the burden onto another county.

However, where the custodial and payor parents reside in different counties, the court may direct the support payments to be made to a designated county officer in the custodial parent's county of residence; and may direct either county's local child support agency to enforce the order.

neither parents nor the children reside in the county where the divorce was granted...ncp lives in a different state and custodial parent moved but not very far as the county of residence and the county that has jurisdiction are adjoining. How would I start the process of getting the old county to direct the new local child support agency to enforce the order?

My response:

From my research of the issue, Ohio law now requires you to file a motion to transfer in the county where the original judgment, court order or child support order was made. It will allow you to file a motion to transfer the action to your own county if you can show it would be a hardship for you to have the child support administered from the county where the original orders and procedure took place.

Ask the clerk of the court in the old county if there are any forms concerning transfer of child support to your new county. Also, inquire about filing fees.

Good luck.
