An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in child custody, further providing for award of custody, repealing provisions relating to relocation and providing for relocation.
This bill modifies Pennsylvania's child custody law by requiring all custody orders to include notice of relocation obligations (replacing the repealed Section 5337). It repeals detailed existing relocation rules, including the 60-day notice requirement, specific information that must be included in relocation notices, and the 30-day objection window for non-relocating parents. The change directly affects parents or custodians seeking to relocate with children under existing custody arrangements. It simplifies the process by embedding relocation notice requirements into custody orders rather than maintaining separate procedural rules.
