The Procedure for a Change of Venue Filing the motion. The moving party should file a motion for a change of venue with the court where the case is pending. Supporting affidavits. The moving party must also provide affidavits and other evidence to support the motion. Serving the motion. Hearing. The judge's decision.
A motion for Change of Venue is filed to allege that the lawsuit has been filed in the wrong precinct. However, venue may be proper in more than one justice precinct. If the court grants an Order for a Change of Venue the case will be transferred to the proper justice precinct.
For example, in California, when a bailiff or marshal calls the court to order part of the cry will take the form "in and for the County of San Francisco"; when there is a change of venue the cry will be, "in the County of Alameda for the County of San Francisco."
