Philadelphia County: Petition to Relocate With Child

Form with instructions from the Family Division of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia that may be used in custody proceedings taking place in Philadelphia courts.

If you wish to move with your children out of the Philadelphia area and the non-custodial parent does not agree, you must get permission from the court. This is a complicated matter and you should consult an attorney or go to 1501 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA to get help.

Under Pennsylvania law, relocation is defined as "a change in a residence of the child which significantly impairs the ability of a nonrelocating party to exercise custodial rights."
