Answer
No, there is no exchange of documents among the courts. Wherever your case is, that is the court where you file your documents.
There is no requirement that a person has to physically be at a courthouse to file documents at that court. You should be able to mail the documents (properly addressed and stamped) to the office of the clerk of the court where you want to file.
Many courts also have programs by which documents may be filed electronically.
You should check with the court's clerk how your documents can be filed. Often, the information is available at the website for the court.
In family law cases, it may be possible to change the venue to where the children are living.
You should review the specific facts with your attorney to find out your legal options.
