What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania

Two questions:
1. Is "she" relocating with the child(ren) in question?
2. Is "she" or the child(ren) a victim of abuse?

What is her reason(s) ?

Nothing against Adorable BL here, but...

IMHO, there are NO acceptable reasons for keeping one parent in the dark as to the whereabouts of their shared child.

NONE.

I don't care if this broad is in the witness protection program. I don't care if she has a mean ex-boyfriend from whom she wants to hide. If she can't provide regular, predictable access to their shared child, she ought not have custody.

The child has to be in imminent danger .

The mother would need to have a police report and an OOP .

I agree. If a parent doesn't like joint legal , tough .

Both parents need to talk about and disclose important informations .

The poster needs to answer some questions though.

In addition to other questions , what age(s) is/are the child(ren) ?

My point in asking those questions is that Pennsylvania overhauled its custody laws, effective this past January. The new section on relocation is very detailed, and includes this:

§ 5337. Relocation
(c) Notice.--

(3) Except as provided by section 5336 (relating to access to records and information), the following information, if available, must be included with the notice of the proposed relocation:
(i) The address of the intended new residence.
(ii) The mailing address, if not the same as the address of the intended new residence.
(iii) Names and ages of the individuals in the new residence, including individuals who intend to live in the new residence.
(iv) The home telephone number of the intended new residence, if available.
(v) The name of the new school district and school.
(vi) The date of the proposed relocation.
(vii) The reasons for the proposed relocation.
(viii) A proposal for a revised custody schedule.
(ix) Any other information which the party proposing the relocation deems appropriate.
(x) A counter-affidavit as provided under subsection (d)(1) which can be used to object to the proposed relocation and the modification of a custody order.
(xi) A warning to the nonrelocating party that if the nonrelocating party does not file with the court an objection to the proposed relocation within 30 days after receipt of the notice, that party shall be foreclosed from objecting to the relocation.

The above referenced section on records and information includes this:

§ 5336. Access to records and information.
(a) General rule.--Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c):
(1) A party granted sole or shared legal custody under section 5323 (relating to award of custody) shall be provided access to:

(ii) the address of the child and any other party; and
(iii) any other information that the court deems necessary or proper.
(2) Access to any records and information pertaining to the child may not be denied solely based upon a parent's physical custody schedule.
(3) Upon request, a parent, party or entity possessing any information set forth in paragraph (1) shall provide it to any party granted sole or shared legal custody.
(b) Nondisclosure of confidential information.--The court shall not order the disclosure of any of the following information to any parent or party granted custody:

OK , but the abuse would have to in the legal system .

I'm mom were to just relocate and say he was abusive and I don't want him to know the address , it wouldn't fly.
