See The Relocation Undone

An interesting and, yes, published relocation case was decided by the Superior Court on June 15. D.K.D. v. A.L.C. 2016 Pa. Super 123 involved custody of a child, age 8, who suffers from Pervasive Personality Disorder. The parents separated shortly after the birth of L.D.  They were not divorced until 2015.

L.D. showed signs of language and speech delays at 18 months and the formal diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder was made at age 3. After separation the parents lived in close proximity to each other but father's custody was limited to four hours during the week and alternate Saturdays for an additional three hours.  Whether rightly or not, mother appears to have insisted that visits be confined to her home because L.D. did not respond well to changes in location.
