Legal Answers
1371 Questions Answered
- Q. Can I legally formalize a custody agreement if my spouse wants me to have our son all the time?
- A: I recommend that you consult in person with a local attorney experienced in family law. Yes, you can enter into such an agreement but Attorney Arrasmith is correct in that you should have it reduced to an order. How you might do that in Allegheny County depends on that county's procedure. You will have to file a Complaint for Custody wherever you are but here in Delaware County you can submit the agreement without appearing before the court. Please meet with the local attorney to learn what procedure would need to be followed as well as to have the agreement drafted in a manner which will meet your purpose and which has likelihood to hold up if challenged later.
- Q. Can my ex move out of state with our child without court order, affecting visitation rights?
- A: Not knowing whether the language of your custody agreement differs from the PA relocation law, I can't offer my thoughts on specifics. What I will tell you is that you should consult with a local attorney familiar with family law as soon as possible. Waiting until she moves will likely make things more difficult for you.
- Q. How can I gain majority custody of my children if I divorce my husband in PA?
- A: You would file a Complaint for Custody to initiate the process. You would do well to consult with a local attorney experienced in family law. Although custody law is the same statewide, counties tend to have somewhat different procedures. It would be very helpful for you to have all the information you can obtain, both about procedure as well as custody law before you embark on this challenge.
