Understanding Child Custody Laws in Pennsylvania

The child custody process in Pennsylvania is complex and can be especially stressful for mothers who are going through a divorce or separation. Here are some of the key considerations when determining how child custody will be handled in Pennsylvania: 

• Child welfare: The court’s primary concern when determining child custody is always the best interests of the child. This includes factors such as the quality of their environment, the amount of contact they have with each parent, and whether either parent poses any physical or emotional danger to them. 
• Parental agreements: The court will take into account any agreements that parents make concerning custody arrangements, as long as it is in the best interest of the child. This could include shared custody arrangements, where both parents have equal legal rights to decisions regarding their children. 
• Visitation rights: When one parent is awarded primary physical custody of a child, the other may still receive visitation rights depending on their ability to provide safe and suitable living arrangements for their children. This may involve allowing reasonable visits with their non-custodial parent at certain times during the week or on weekends.
