    Unhappy How to File for Custody when Your Child Lives in Another State

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: I currently reside in Texas and my husband who ive been seperated from since January moved back to our home state of Pennsylvania on April 26, 2012. I am trying to figure out how i would go about filing for custody of our daughter. My mother says that he is not properly taking care of her and I need to know how i would go about filing for custody if i am not in the same state that she lives in. Any and all help will be very much appreciated.

    The child is living with Dad?

    Okay, so what's the proof of Dad not taking care of her?

    And jurisdiction is a major issue. You would have to explain the whole timeline, in detail, for anyone to be able to tell you which state would have jurisdiction.

    If the child has been domiciled in Pennsylvania for six months or longer, you file for divorce and custody in Pennsylvania. Any answer beyond that depends on facts you haven't shared.
