Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

First off....did the FL Court Order grant her partial custody/visitation time? If so, has she made attempts to use it?

You can file a Petition to Confirm Primary Custody in the PA Courts since you have resided here for more than 6 months, and attach the FL Order. They can supply the general forms at your county courthouse...I am attaching a link to Philadelphia Pro se relocation petition ( http://www.courts.phila.gov/pdf/forms/domestic-relations/prose-relocation-petition.pdf) and a link to a custody modification form ( http://www.courts.phila.gov/pdf/forms/domestic-relations/prose-pet-to-modify-custdy.pdf )

I understand that FL's relocation rules are tough, but if it comes down to it and you are required to go there and answer to the Courts as to why you left FL, you seem to have a very strong case to keep the children in PA.

Because mother didn't object to the move and you and the children have lived in Pennsylvania for over 6 months you should file for custody in Pennsylvania. You would be filing in Dauphin County.

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