Pennsylvania Notice of Proposed Relocation Without Court Case

In Pennsylvania, if you’re a parent or guardian and you want to move somewhere new with your kid — but there isn’t a custody case already going on — you need to fill out a form called the Notice of Proposed Relocation Without Court Case. This form is basically a heads-up to the other parent (or anyone else with custody rights) that you’re planning to move.

Notice of Proposed Relocation Without Court Case

According to the rules (specifically PA Rule 1915.17), you’ve got to send this form—plus a blank response form—to the other parent at least 60 days before you move. If they don’t agree with the move, they have 30 days to fill out the response and send it back. If they don’t respond in time, the court might just allow the move and change the custody agreement without their input.

The form includes info like:

  • Your new address
  • Who’s going to be living there
  • Your new phone number/email
  • What school district the kid will be in
  • When you plan to move
  • Why you’re moving
  • And a new custody schedule you’re suggesting

This is all about being transparent so the other parent can see how the move might affect their time with the child.
