Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
Son's Right
My son and his wife are living seperate and have been for almost 2 years. Divorce nor child custody has been filed but she is taking him to court for child support. She lives with her parents in NJ and he lives in PA.
He is on SDT and had a signed apartment lease, with her name on it, twice she signed one, until recently.
1. Can he take her to court to get the half rent now?
2. Can she file for child support?
3. How does he obtain a lawyer that he can afford?
4. If he files for divorce/child custody, what state does he file in.
5. What age can the child discuss being with a parent.
6. The child recently drew a picture and told his father and grandmother, that she tapped his mouth shout, so he coulnd't talk, and hands taped so he couldn't take the tape off his mouth. What can be done about that?
This is a mess and the child is suffering.

Re: Son's Right
Generally child custody is an issue in the state the child has lived for 6 months prior to the filing date.
Divorce can be filed in the state where they lived together and where one party continues to live.
Whoever is going to pay for these services and or your son is going to have to contact lawyers from PA and NJ, sit down for a consult and determine if they are the right lawyer for you.
