Asked on Nov 12th, 2013 on Child Custody - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
My ex wife is planning on packing up and leaving Pennsylvania to New York with her current husbands child without his knowledge. We also have two children in which we have a custody and visitation order. I want to know what happens to her if he files an injunction to return the child and what happens to her and my children even if I modify our order?

Taking the child without notice and permission of the other parent can cause a lot of litigation. At this point you would need to speak with a Pennsylvania lawyer as the child is in that jurisdiction.

If I understand the question correctly, I can offer this. Yes, the father of the other child can file for a relocation hearing. It would only pertain to that child, not yours.
