Custody Modification Considerations Pennsylvania
Summary
In Pennsylvania, custody modifications require a significant change in circumstances, such as relocation or changes in living situations. Courts prioritize the childs best interests, considering factors like stability and parental relationships. If a parent moves closer, it may support a 50/50 custody request. If the other parent moves away without valid reason, you can request primary custody. Contempt can be filed if a parent disobeys custody orders. Courts may order co-parenting classes to improve cooperation.Full Conversation
