Rule 3.240 - CHANGE OF VENUE (a)Grounds for Motion. The state or the defendant may move for a change of venue on the ground that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in the county where the case is pending for any reason other than the interest and prejudice of the trial judge.
Florida Statute § 47.011 provides three places where venue may be proper: the county where the defendant resides, the county where the cause of action accrued, and the county where the property in litigation is located.
To move your case to another court, you must make a “Motion to Change Venue” in writing, and file one copy with the Court where your case is currently located and another copy with the Department of Homeland Security.
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."
Section 1404(a) of Title 28 provides that: "for the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district may transfer any civil action to any other district where it might have been brought." Any party, including plaintiff, may move for a transfer under 28 U.S.C.
If the other party files the case in a county that isn't ideal or correct, you have the option to file a motion for change of venue. If the venue they selected is inconvenient or doesn't comply with the general rules for venue, filing this motion early on can ensure your case is transferred to the appropriate county.
The judge must review the facts of the specific case and determine whether a change of venue would be appropriate. For example, the judge may look into whether the foreign national may have a valid defense to removal. They also may be more likely to grant a change of venue if the case has not already been delayed.
