Pennsylvania Custody Relocation and Modification is a legal process in which a parent seeks to move their child to a new location, or modify an existing custody agreement. This process requires a parent to file a petition with the court, providing a detailed explanation of their reasons for relocation or modification. Generally, relocation and modification petitions are filed when a parent is seeking to move away for a job, for school, to be closer to family, or if there is a change in circumstances that affects the child’s best interests. The most common types of Pennsylvania Custody Relocation and Modification are: Initial Custody Relocation, Modification of Existing Custody Agreement, and Emergency Custody Relocation. Initial Custody Relocation is when a parent petitions the court to move the child from their current residence to a new location. Modification of an Existing Custody Agreement is when a parent petitions the court to change an existing custody arrangement. Emergency Custody Relocation is when a parent petitions the court to move their child quickly due to an emergency or other extraordinary circumstances.
