Pennsylvania custody law
Pennsylvania courts apply 16 best-interests factors to custody decisions and encourage arrangements that provide ongoing contact with both parents.
What Pennsylvania courts consider in custody decisions
Pennsylvania's 16 factors include which parent is more likely to encourage frequent contact with the other, the present and past abuse committed by a party, parental duties performed by each party, the need for stability in the child's life, the availability of extended family, the child's sibling relationships, the well-reasoned preference of the child, and attempts by one parent to turn the child against the other.
How the custody process works in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania custody cases are filed in the Court of Common Pleas. The process begins with a custody complaint, followed by mandatory mediation or a conciliation conference in most counties. If unresolved, the court schedules a custody trial where both parents present evidence. Pennsylvania law requires judges to address all 16 statutory factors in their written opinion.
