Q: If judge order my daughter to stay in Pennsylvania. But, her father is now in jail on drugs charges. Can I go to
Pennsylvania and get my daughter. Father has been sentenced and my daughter is living with his girlfriend. What are my rights
A:
Your problem involves a potential relocation case if you wish to move the child from their current home to another state or sometimes even just to another county in Pennsylvania if the move could substantially interfere with the other parent's custody rights. Before you move your daughter, you must follow the PA custody laws and provide him with written notice of your intended move. If he objects to the move, you would need court permission to relocate. Please take this very seriously as moving without complying with the notice provisions could result in you being forced to return the children to Pennsylvania or even worse losing custody of them.
Please feel free to visit my website to learn general information about PA Custody Laws and requests for relocation. http://www.pafamilylawyers.com/Child-Custody/Custody-Relocation-Modification-Enforcement.shtml
