Transfer of Venue from One State to Another

[Jjohnson1103]

My question involves a child custody case from the State of:
My exhisband and I lived on Kentucky at the time of our divorce. That is also where our custody agreement was made. We both live in California now and I am looking to modify the agreement, is there a way to transfer the case to California without having to pay my lawyer to do it?

[Mr. Knowitall]

Sure. Figure out how to file the UCCJEA petition yourself, and complete that process successfully without your lawyer. Check the county law library or a law school library for a practitioner's guide to family law, and you will likely be able to find information and sample petitions.
