Re: Moving my child out of state
In order to relocate out of state, you will have to file a petition to modify the current order, as well as a special petition, seeking court permission to relocate. There are a number of factors that the court must take into consdieration in deciding whether the child can be moved out of state. If you move out of state without court permission, or his written agreement, then the father can file an emergency petition seeking an order that the child be returned to PA.
