Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: child custody

You do need a court order to have an enforceable custody right. To do that she and have to agree to give you custody. This is done by a stipulation and filed with a custody petition. The court will then make it an order of the court.

Assuming the child father either acknowledges paternity. Which can be proven by the fact he signed the agreement or submits to a paternity test that shows he's the child's father. He and your daughter are on the hook for child support.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
