Seeking Change of Custody of State

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California

I currently live in Pennsylvania. Our case originated in California My ex and son live in California. we split all custody 50/50, no child support ever from either...all 50/50. However, my son is struggling big time and I want go after Full Physical and Full Legal with me in Pennsylvania. My son is 13 and does want to come live with me and he fights his mother about it everyday. Do I have to file new orders in the same California court or can I do something from PA? How is the out of state process work? Will I have to keep flying back and forth to Cali?

Any knowledgeable input would be great. Thank you

How do you split physical custody of the child living on different coasts?

Either way, you would have to file in CA as that is where the case originated and that is where the child currently lives. If you are going to try to get full physical custody and the mother is against it, it would be best to get an attorney in CA.

I'm not too sure how successful you will be with this though.

Is the other parent on board with him coming to live with you? If not, the chances of it happening are close to zero.
