From Lexis Nexis:
"The common law doctrine of forum non conveniens and the change of venue statute provide litigants with opportunities to challenge the convenience of the forum in which a trial is brought and to move the trial to a more convenient forum. Both doctrines of forum convenience confer on defendants protection from litigating in an inconvenient forum."
You may be able to motion for change of venue based on inconvenient forum. Or, if that motion is denied, you may be able to appear telephonically.

It is my understanding that a modification has to be initiated in the same county in which it was ordered.
