I would like to move out of state for a job offer and more affordable housing options, I currently have primary physical custody of my daughter with shared legal custody & he was supposed to be getting his daughter on the weekends, but now he's in jail and its still up in the air as to how long his sentence will be. (2 DUI's, criminal mischief, theft, and receiving stolen property) - Can I get custody changed so I can move out of state?

In Allegheny County, if you moved out of town with the child, or threatened to, when there is a custody order, the father could hire an attorney and request a relocation hearing. The outcome of that hearing would determine if you can move with the child.
