Change of venue is the transfer of a legal action from one county to another county for trial. In criminal cases a change of venue is permitted if, for example, the court believes the defendant cannot receive a fair trial in a given county.
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."
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.
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."

The rule provides for a change of venue only on defendant's motion and does not extend the same right to the prosecution, since the defendant has a constitutional right to a trial in the district where the offense was committed. Constitution of the United States, Article III, Sec. 2, Par.
If the two of you cannot reach an agreement, you can file an “opposition” to the other party's motion. An “opposition” is a written statement that says why the judge should not give the other party what they asked for, and what you would like instead.
The response must be filed within 10 days after service of the motion unless the court shortens or extends the time.
Within 14 days after the service of the motion, the opposing party shall serve and file a written opposition thereto, together with a memorandum of points and authorities and supporting affidavits, if any, stating facts showing why the motion should be denied.
