Q: What if you aren’t moving out of the state which the agreement applies just the city???
A:
If you want to relocate cities within Pennsylvania, you will probably still have to give the other parent a formal notice of relocation . . . especially if the distance is far (say, from Philadelphia to Erie). There are very specific rules and procedures for this, and so you should probably sit down with an experienced family law attorney to discuss them.
Best of luck to you.

A: One reason why the PA relocation statute was enacted was to avoid having a parent to move so far from the other parent as to substantially interfere with that parent's custodial time without that other parent's permission or court approval. So, theoretically, someone can move out of state but only another two miles further away and not interfere with the other parent's custodial time. However, such a move would likely change the child's school district. Your best bet is to consult in person with an experienced family law attorney to discuss your prospective move and obtain that attorey's advice as to whether you will need to follow the PA relocation procedure.
