Question: Divorce, Marriage, Alimony - Pennsylvania

Asked on 7/23/2009
Can my husband make my children and myself return to the state I left? No papers have been filed

When I can file can he make it that I will have to live in Wyoming cause of the children? I do not want to go back, I am afraid to

I am an attorney in Minnesota and am not certain on PA laws, but there may be a way to have the court exert emergency jurisdiction because of the abuse issue.  A local attorney should be able to assist you.
