If both legal parents to a child are active duty military do courts normally deny a change of venue request?
Arizona has jurisdiction over my current court order however my daughter has been living with her father in Kansas for almost two years.
In a few months I'll be exiting military service and would like to know if her father's active duty military status will prevent me from having a petition for a change in venue considered by AZ or KS law.
The Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act will prevent the court from making any permanent orders, and a change of "jurisdiction" would be one (a change of "venue" occurs "within" the jurisdiction).
