- Jurisdiction
- Florida
Hi, my ex husband and I had our divorce take place in Tennessee. Since then I have moved to Florida and he has moved to Oklahoma.
I reside in Florida with Custody of our kids. Since the divorce (8 years ago) his wages have gone way up and I'm having problems getting payment. I'm taking him to court to redo our child support agreement and hired an attorney here in Florida. He's fighting that Florida doesn't have jurisdiction and that I'd now need to retain another lawyer in Oklahoma. My present lawyer had/has no idea about this.
Could somebody please help me in determining if I can get this done here in Florida or will I need to hire a new attorney in Oklahoma?
Thanks.
