It is not clear to me if PA is the state the child currently lives in. If so, PA law requires that the person seeking to remove the child from his home jurisdiction file a Petition to Relocate. If another state is the current home state, you should speak to an attorney in that state. However, you will also need to file an Emergency Petition for Temporary Custody as a grandparent has no rights to full custody without a court order.
I trust this answers your questions, and if you live in the Delaware Valley, do not hesitate to call or email on a free initial basis.
