A new Custody Act has been enacted that changes the way Pennsylvania courts decide child custody disputes. Passed into law on November 23, 2010, the new Custody Act governs custody proceedings filed after January 24, 2011. Custody proceedings commenced before the effective date will still be governed under the former custody statutes and prior case law.
Many changes were made to the way custody disputes are addressed in Pennsylvania. Below are a few significant changes made under the Act.
