Asked on Jan 25th, 2013 on Divorce - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
If i divorce my husband i am worried i will not be ablle to take care of our two year old daughter, or be able to actually leave. I am a housewife with no income other than my husbands. I am worried he will fight the divorce. I am worried he will not be able to take care of her in his custody, so i would like supervised visits when she sees him. I am worried if i leave him, he will get a court order and make me come back to pennsylvania, because i only have family that i could live with in Nevada. I am worried that he will freeze our accounts, and do anything he can to make sure i have to stay. I am worried that because him and his family all have money to get the best lawyers, and i do not have those resources nor does my family.

If a divorce complaint is filed in PA, and you make less than him, you should obtain temporary alimony, also referred to as APL.
Until there is a custody order, you are free to leave the state with your daughter. But you must be in the other state for at least 6 months to file for custody there. Before the 6 month sis up, he can file here and seek an emergency order that you return the child to PA. It does not mean that will be granted, but it is a risk.
