Re: leaving the state
First, do you have a custody order? If you do what does it say about relocation of the children?
If it says nothing he can ask for a hearing on whether you can take the children out of state.
If there is not a custody order you should get one.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.

Re: leaving the state
If you are going to relocate with the child out of the state, you need to file a petition to modify the custody order (if there is one) and a petition requesting court permission to relocate. Otherwise, he could file a petition to get an order having the child returned to PA.
It is complicated, and I would recommend you consult an attorney. I offer a free 1/2 consult at one of my 6 office locations.
