More details to this question:
I have primary physical custody of my grand kids. Their mother & father have legal custody rights. The aunt through marriage, not married to uncle now got every other weekend with my granddaughter because mother & father are prison. The grandma who came back home from SC 2 years gone has no time with grand daughter is trying to get visitation. I am wanting to move out of state to better our lives and my daughters. She is ok with the move. I have no court order that I can't move but need father's consent. The order has not gone through for grandmas visitation yet has been filed.

The other grandma will have a tough time if she doesn't meet the PA grand parental visitation statute criteria. She would have had to stand in as a parent for 12 months in the past among other things. You need to get a lawyer to file for a relocation hearing.
