Wow. The law in PA is that the custodial parent is required to foster a relationship with the non-custodial parent. Failure to do so could result in a finding of contempt against mother.

If someone has threatened to kill you that is something you need to report to the police. one, because it's a crime and two it's an enumerated crime in the custody statute.

If you can not afford a law you should try your county bar association referral service. They tend to be the gatekeepers for low cost and no cost legal services.
