Can i relocate with my child?

First, let me say that this site is for public education rather than predicting results based on the information provided. So, the first thing I'm going to tell you to do is to consult with an experienced family law attorney on your area to learn what your courts are most likely to do in this situation. From my point of view, I'm wondering why your children are even going to stay with your ex when he's living illegally in housing from which he has already been effectively removed. If I were a judge, I'd want to ask both of you that question, not just him. Your reasons for relocating seem valid and the distance doesn't seem too far to make appropriate alternative arrangements with the dad, but only a judge can make the final determination. This is one of the several reasons why I strongly urge you to meet with and retain and attorney. In the meantime, I've given you the link to the PA Custody Law, which sets forth in Section 5337 the procedures that must be followed before relocation in undertaken.
