Asked on Dec 31st, 2020 on Child Custody - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
My son needs a child custody lawyer for custody of his two year old son. The baby lives with him as he is the main parent who has taken care of him. My son did move the baby's mother with them to try and have her in their lives but every now and then she threatens to get custody or picks fights with my son. Like I stated HE IS the parent that is there for him and provides for him. We just need legal help.
1 ANSWER
If the child has been in PA with your son for at least six months, jurisdiction for custody is in Philadelphia. He should file a petition to confirm primary custody in him with the Philadelphia Family Court. Forms and instructions are available on the Philadelphia Family Court web site. There will be a fee for filing. When he receives notice of his first custody hearing with the Master and if he wishes representation, have him contact me or an attorney in my firm.
