Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Move out of state

Husband and I are talking divorce. He moved our family to PA a year or so ago, and I want to move back to Indiana, where my family and support is. I have no one out here, and a great job offer back there. Will it be possible to take my daughter with me? My husband has a history of anger problems and drinks everyday. He is too ''busy'' to spend time with her now - but is putting up a fight. He doesn' t come home before 10pm any given night. He doesn't want her, he wants to 'bargain' to not pay child support- or make me stay and be miserable.

Re: Move out of state

The case law that applies to interstate moves are known as the Gruber Factors. The key factor is if the parent and hence the child will be better off financially due to move. So what you're asking isn't impossible..

Actually any agreement to not seek child support is void from the get go and can not be enforced.

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