    Change of venue for visitation modification MD to VA
    Mother has no custody or visitation. Dad has full custody legal and physical. He got emergency custody in 2004 when the mother started leaving the kids with their new stepfather to go and do drugs for 3 weeks at a time without knowing where she was. Kids have remained in VA since that time.

    She now wants to modify visitation only so that she has a set schedule with overnight visitation. The father started denying overnights when she called and said she was going back to rehab due to a relapse and that she did not want to live anymore in March 2008. Since then she has sporadically visited the children and cannot commit to a schedule offered by the father. She continues to ask for overnight visits but has not come through with the daytime visits in a consitant manner.

    Question:
    She's filed in MD courts. Father wants to move case to VA. He has registered the custody agreements with VA so that the case in valid in both states. VA has the order to collect child support from the mother. How can he have the proceedings moved to VA? Will the courts allow that since she still lives in MD?

    I'm surprised the courts allowed her to file in MD. I think you should be successful in having the venue changed.

    I should state that the original divorce decree and custody agreement was made in MD in 1994 when both parents lived in MD.
