Asked on Aug 19th, 2014 on Child Custody - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
There is a custody order where I have primary physical custody and his dad has partial physical custody. We both have joint legal custody. I want to relocate from PA to Delaware. I filed for a relocation and custody modification but the father has opposed them. I am worried that the distance from one state to another will cause the judge to deny relocation. School starts soon and I would like to get a hearing soon so I know where my son will be enrolling

It does make a difference. You have to establish to the courts that the move will better your son's best interest and your own.
The relocation statute outlines the factors the court will consider; they can be found at the following link, under subsection (h).
