A: David's Answer: You would need to file a custody petition. You may arguably have jurisdiction to file in PA, if the child was previously residing there for more than 6 months prior to her temporary move to NY. You'd be best advised to schedule a consultation appointment with both a PA & NYC Child Custody lawyer for a full assessment of the situation. -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
