Wait for case to get over in lower court. Dont jump the gun. However to get the case transferrred from one court to another you will have to approach HC.

HC has power to transfer case within state.you can file transfer petition in HC and get it transfer in Madurai family court. First case will decide in lower court than you can further appeal in higher court against that decision
