More details to this question:
I need to know legally if I have residency in one county and my son's mother has residency in another county, Can she file a petition in a third county?
1 ANSWER
The short answer is no --
The only caveat is that, unless you object to the venue being placed in a third county having nothing to do with either residence, the Court will not be aware that they have no jurisdiction.
I would obviously raise that issue immediately with a judge.
