You have to file a written notice of motion to the court for an order granting a change in venue to another county. Check with the Clerk of the court in which your action is pending for the rules of procedure making motions in general and motions for changes in venue in particular. You will most likely have to at the very least file an affidavit showing facts that prove that you will not be able to receive a fair hearing in the present county of venue.
This is generally not an easy thing to do since changes in venue are usually based on advance adverse publicity so pervasive it would prevent a jury from the area from giving an unbiased verdict. If this is a child support matter (since that is the original category) there is no jury involved. Thus you would probably have to prove that there is something within that county's court system that would prevent you from getting an unbiased ruling.

Request a change of venue, but you need a reason.

File a motion with the court setting forth the reason(s) why and request a change of venue.
Yes. A request for a change of venue is only appropriate if it can be demonstrated to the court that the jury pool of the court is tainted (usually by publicity surrounding the case) and the defendant might not receive a fair trial by an impartial jury. If it is a bench trial, the most you could do is request that the judge recuse himself in favor of another judge.
Requesting a CHANGE OF VENUE.
Change of venue in a criminal case is something that will take place if the Judge/Court feels that the defendant cannot receive a fair trial in a given venue because of prejudice. In civil cases a change of venue may take place just for the convenience of the parties involved. It's basically the change of location from one court to another court or from one county to another county.
Easy. Just petition court for exactly that. A change of venue...its determined by where the child lives.
You must file a motion for a Change of Venue.
Show the bias and ask for a new judge. ADDED: File a motion with the court asking the judge to 'recuse' themselves because of a perceived bias on their part, or request a change of venue.
