if you have a case in new jersey but now riside in new york can you have you case move to new york

To start off, I presume you are asking about a divorce case.  You are asking to change jurisdiction from one state to another.  If even one of you lived in New Jersey for at least one year prior to the filing of the divorce complaint then jurisdiction is proper in New Jersey.  This means you cannot have the case moved to New York State.  Unfortunately, even if getting to the New Jersey court is terribly inconvenient for you, you are stuck with this.  Sincerely, Helayne M.
