In addition to Attorney Boyd's excellent suggestion, you can also look into whether the father left a estate that might be available from which your daughter might be able to claim a share. You'd want to check with the Register of Wills in the county where he passed away or where he resided.

Your question confuses me a bit. Are you asking as the relocating parent or the non-relocating parent? Either way, I've attached a link to the PA custody statute. Relocation is in Section 5337. It should answer your questions.

I suggest that you obtain a copy of the custody docket, which should show that the most current order is the one from 2015. Then gather up documentation that tends to show that the children reside with you - school records, doctor's records, extracurricular activities rosters, etc. Anything... View More

I suppose it's possible but without all the facts it's impossible to know what to tell you. You should consider consulting with an attorney experienced with CYS matters to obtain assistance in getting through this.

You really need to discuss tyour situation with an experienced family law attorney. There is absolutely no way anyone here can help you. You need to show your paperwork to an attorney in person and should you should do so very soon.

I think an awful lot more information is needed before this question can be answered. If you and your husband are on decent terms, perhaps he'd allow you to discuss this with his attorney, although, if you're the victim of the abuse, that may not be permissible. have you considered going...

Not really because it wouldn't become a court order until an adoption petition as well as a petition to terminate parental rights had been filed. If the person wanting to give up rights thinks doing so will relieve him/her of support obligations, no such luck. If this actually has to do with... View More

Sure they can, just as you could forbid your daughter from dating someone. They're both under 18 years of age and children in the eyes of the law.

Not unless there's a written agreement that he will do so. In PA, a parent's support obligation ends upon the child's attainment of 18 years of age and graduation from high school, unless the child suffers from a serious physical or mental impairment.

Yes, if the parental rights were not actually terminated by the court.

It's really not possible to provide you with detailed answers because every case is different. I expect that she will likely receive both spousal and child support based solely on what you've said here. You really should sit down for a consultation with an experienced family law attorney...

In PA you can. Consult with an expereinced family law attorney in the county where you reside.

The way to obtain reliable advice, I'm afraid, is to meet in person with an attorney. there are so many questions to which we'd need answers and you cannot provide them on the internet. Make an appointment with an experienced family law attorney to discuss what your current situation is... View More

Has she been graduated from high school? If so, he should file to vacate the order.

I agree with Attorney Boyd. In order to file in PA, you'll need to have lived here for six months. Do yourself a favor and take the time to consult with an experienced family law attorney to learn your rights and options before doing anything. You should do so as soon as possible as it may be...

I agree with Attorney Hall. Failure to perform parental duties for a period of six months or more canbe grounds to terminate parental rights, but almost always that would be in conjunction with an adoption petition. You should meet with an experienced family law attorney to obtain more information... View More

I'd say fist contact the Domestic relations Office for the county where the order was entered and go from there. If the order was sent to another county or state for enforcement, they should have that information. If the case was closed, you may have to consider getting an attorney involved.

It's not true that, as a general rule, young children may not stay overnight with their fathers. However, if either parent has a criminal or abuse history which suggests that he or she may pose a danger to the child, the court will likely order supervised visits.

Probably not but there's no way to predict what the courts will do. Generally speaking, a modification of a support order does not become effective before the date until the request for modification was filed. However, as you apparently are aware, the support order requires all parties to... View More

It depends on whether the records are sealed. You'll have to contact the court house for the county where the custody action occurred and inquire. I doubt that, if the records are not sealed, you'll be able to obtain copies at no cost. There will likely be a per page copying fee of at... View More
