Partner With a Philadelphia Child Custody Attorney to Assist You With Issues Regarding Relocation
If you share custody of your child, you should be aware of Pennsylvania’s laws about relocation. If you wish to change your (and the child’s) current residential address, you are legally required to give a written notice to the other parent at least 60 days in advance. This gives the other parent the opportunity to object to the relocation if it will impair their ability to exercise custodial rights.
The relocation notice must contain the following:
- The street address and mailing address for the new residence
- The date of the relocation
- The reason for relocating
- The names and ages of all individuals who will be residing there
- The home telephone number for the new address
- The school district and school that the child will be enrolled in
- A revised child custody/visitation schedule
