I see that you still have an east San Diego County zip code, therefore, I would think that you would still want to file your motion in East County, parking is much better and no cost. You can have it changed to another division or county if neither of the parties are still living in East County. You will probably have a new judge since two of the judges changed the first of the year and the other has been there less than one year.
