What is the name of your state? PA
I recently won physical custody of my 2 oldest children (3 and 6 yrs old). Their mother and I were never married. She gets EOW, and 5 weeks in the summer, plus supposed joint legal, though that's not addressed at all in the costody agreement paperwork that I received. My wife and I have been married for 2 years and have an infant son together. My wife was just accepted into Air Force Officer Candidate School as a social worker. She will have to go away for training for about 3 months. I will be taking care of the kids while she's gone. After that time she will be assigned to a base. Somewhere, we don't know where yet. The move won't be for awhile most likely will take a year until that time comes.
It should be fairly easy to prove that the relocation will greatly improve our circumstances. It will definitely provide all of us a better standard of living, as well as educational and financial advantages for the kids. My wife certainly can't and won't move without me and our kids. I'm an ex-navy man and I know what to expect (especially the benefits that officer's and their family's are privy to). I addressed this with our attorney when custody was initially set, though we didn't know if she was going to be accepted or not. He didn't seem to have any concerns with it at the time though nothing was said about it in court..
I know that PA has something called a gruber hearing (sp?), but I can't seem to find any information on it. Does anyone know the formula that they use, or what the actual name is?
I don't think that my children's mom will fight the move, but just in case I'd like to know what will happen if she does try to fight it.
What steps I need to take to get everything squared away prior to the actual move?
We are more then willing to pay for transportation costs for visitation. What's usually a fair amount when the CP lives far away from the NCP? A few holidays during the year, and a certain amount of the summer?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
