Grounds for Change of Venue:
I currently have a civil suit pending against me in the State of Georgia for a credit card debt; but, recently relocated to the State of Virginia (where, incidentally, the credit card account was initially opened). As I now reside in another state, does the court in GA still have jurisdiction over the case? If not, should I simply file a motion for change of venue?
- Is this your question? Add additional information

In state procedure a change of venue means the mattr is moved from one county in Georgia to another county in Georgia. There is no such thing as a change of venue from one state to another. You could ask the party suing you to dismiss the proceeding in GA and sue you in VA but they probably won't do that.
