A judge in Texas has already assumed jurisdiction and issued a temporary order in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship, despite the venue being improper, as the child resided in a different county at the time of the filing of the petition. Can I file something to make him dismiss the case and require the petitioner to file the case in the county where the child actually lived? I know the Texas Family Code says that the petition must be filed in the county where the child resides. What would I file to have this dismissed because of the improper venue? Is it too late? Someone said I had to object to this before the hearing. I actually did bring this up at the beginning of the hearing. It was in my answer, but the judge ignored it. Is an appeal on these grounds my only recourse if the judge doesn't care if he's breaking the law by assuming jurisdiction in this case?
What do I need to file in Texas family court?
