Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

I need help with an issue that has come up yesterday. My husbands ex, who is the mother of his kids, is wanting to take custody due to the fact that we got married last week and claiming that she doesnt know me. I do have three kids of my own and she says her kids are in a dangerous situation. I have nothing on my record. I dont do drugs nor do I drink. I am a stay at home mom and have never hit or abused any child. Since this is because of me that she is doing all of this I need to know what steps I need to take or what my husband needs to do. I was told she needs to prove me and him to be unfit parents but I need to know everything so we both can be prepared of what is about to happen. She is wanting to take visitation time from him. He was seeing them two days a week with them staying over night and every other weekend. Now she is saying a couple hours a week and sat night and bring them back on sunday morning. Which they did do the visitation on their own terms. So Please help us! I am in need of help. These are my step children I cant lose them.

First take a deep breath.

Second take another deep breath.

Third consider letting your husband handle this.

Forth obtain a family law attorney to assist you.

If you cannot afford counsel go to the courthouse on the scheduled day dressed in a presentable fashion and respond to the issues as raised by the master or judge, expect the arrangement for custody not to be modified.

Recognize the judge or master has heard this allegation a 1000 times before and generally they will maintain the current status of visitation.

Take a deep breath.

Unless she's ready to pony up the $140 for a conciliator all it is is talk. She's just got her nose out of joint because dad moved on. If she is serious enough to pay to file all this ninsense then you need a lawyer.
