    Question Moving for Change of Venue in a Divorce and Custody Case

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Pennsylvania

    Divorce, and Custody Claimt was filed in Montgomery County back in 2014. I found out a year later that it was an improper venue when I in prose filed support then he objected. My husbands' lawyer object to venue and his request got approved by judge. I got order to transfer to Media, Delaware County. I am pro-se and I am not sure what to do. I think I should file a motion to transfer from Montgomery County to Media? Do I have to transfer Divorce too? What would be the best. On the other hand, my husband's lawyer filed a Full custody in Media, Delaware County Court. When my custody from Montgomery County Court claimt (2014) gets transferred what happens with the other claimt that was done in Media in 2015. I understand one of them should be dismissed because I cannot have two of the same.

    Thanks for your help!

    Sorry, but you need your own lawyer or your ex and his lawyer will tear you to pieces.

    What appears to have happened is that you file your action in the wrong county, and your ex- filed in the correct county -- or perhaps both counties were potentially proper venues but he filed first. If there is a divorce and custody case already filed in Media, then you can appear and counter-claim in that case. It would be an extremely good idea for you to get a lawyer.

    I do not have a lawyer and I do have a way to borrow the money. I am trying to do my best. I am already torn apart and what I only have is my faith. I have read many cases of various arbitrary results due to the fact that someone has a lawyer and someone has not. Thanks for your encouraging words.

    My ex-lawyer filed in the wrong county and my ex filed in the correct one. So based on the grounds of law, my case got transferred. For over a year my case was in the wrong County and we went to all proceedings, but my arguments were not valid to the judge. Nevertheless, I now have to transfer the case to Delaware County and I am not sure what form to fill out and what to do with the claimt in media that was done way later than mine.
    I do not have money, nor a way to borrow it. I only trust on the System to rule fair, but as far as I have read, it seems that it is not.
    What are the forms I need to file?
