Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Shared Custody - abandonment?
I have shared physical and legal
custody of my 5 year old son with
his Father. In early December, the
father was jailed due to driving
under the influence and with no
license. Since this incidence (2
months ago), he has failed to make
contact with me and his son. At this
point, I'm afraid to even turn my
son back over to him because he
has no defined job or place to live. I
fear he could be unstable physically
and emotionally. What should be
my next steps?

You need to file a petition to modify custody.

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

Since you evidently have a court order, you should file a petition to modify it in order to address your concerns with the court.
