Darby, PA asked in Family Law for Pennsylvania

Q: Is there a chance I can move my daughter and I to Texas? Close to family, a job, and a better living situation for us.

I wanted to work out a custody arrangement with ex but he stated that he would rather our daughter go to the system than with me and plans to fight me to the bitter end. Is there even a slight chance I would be allowed by the courts to take her to Texas with me if I'm willing to work out custody with my ex? I have better opportunities down there to provide a better life for her than I have up here.

A: Sure, it's possible, just not easy. I strongly urge you to contact an experienced family law attorney in your area to fully discuss the child relocation laws in PA.
