I was granted relocation from Pennsylvania to Arizona over 2 years ago. I have since met someone and are getting married, but his kids are moving to Florida since his ex wife is remarried, and we want to move so we can all be together. Do I have to refile for another relocation to do that? If... View More

The famous lawyer answer is: it depends. You were permitted to relocate with the child, but you need to be sure that the jurisdiction in the custody action was transferred. If the other parent continues to live in Pennsylvania, the court order may include a provision that the Pennsylvania court... View More
