Pennsylvania Criminal Record/Abuse History Verification

In Pennsylvania, when you’re involved in a custody case, you have to fill out a Criminal Record/Abuse History Verification form. This form is meant to show whether you — or anyone living with you – has any criminal past or history of abuse. It includes a checklist of serious stuff like assault, child endangerment, or sex offenses. It also asks if you’ve had any issues with child protective services or if you’re listed on the state’s abuse registry.

Criminal Record/Abuse History Verification

You have to file this form when you first file your custody case. You also need to give a blank copy to the other person involved. They have to fill out their own version and submit it either before the first court hearing or within 30 days of getting served. If someone doesn’t turn in the form, the court might hit them with penalties.

Also, both sides have to update and resubmit the form at least five days before the trial if anything has changed. The point of the form is to help the court figure out if there’s any risk to the child.

To complete your Criminal Record/Abuse History Verification form online, simply follow these steps:
