Comments for Motion for Change of Venue - Pinellas County to Brevard

Change of Venue
by: FALDP Staff

Dear Jerome,
We're not exactly sure what you're asking, but maybe we can help. When a motion for change of venue is filed, there needs to be some sort of basis for it. If the other party has filed the motion and now the venue is on the other side of the state, and you did not object to the motion -- then yes, you may be able to appear telephonically. To appear telephonically, you need to file a motion requesting it. If the other party objects, then the judge might not allow it.

According to http://civilprocedure.uslegal.com/rules-of-civil-procedure/state-rules-of-civil-procedure/florida-rules-of-civil-procedure/

"The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure lay down the rules that should be followed by Florida state courts. The rules govern civil actions and apply to all special statutory proceedings in the circuit courts and county courts except those to which the Florida Probate Rules, the Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure, or the Small Claims Rules apply. In Florida, generally a civil action commences when a complaint or petition is filed. Once a complaint/petition is filed, the court clerk or judge will issue summons or other processes authorized by law to the defendant(s). A civil action can be classified into various stages that include: pleading stage, discovery stage, trial stage, and judgment stage."
