QUESTION
Will I have to petition the court to move 5 miles away?
Asked on May 13th, 2015 on Family Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
Our landlord recently put our house up for sale. We are worried that if/when someone purchases it we will have to move. We also have just recently gotten custody of a baby girl. Everywhere I read about relocating it says a person must petition the court to move and the non custodial parent has the option to object. Is that true if the custodial parent/s only move 5 miles away? And in doing so would actually move closer to the non custodial parent?

You only have to petition for relocation if the move will substantially hinder the other parent's custodial rights. Without knowing the specifics of your case, I cannot advise directly. However, I believe a closer move of only 5 miles will not be of consequence.
