Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

My ex is asking for custody of our 15 year old daughter who has been living with my solely for her entire life with limited visitation from him. He is an ex-drug addict and ex-felonand has been diagnosed bi-polar. For obvious reasons I do not want him around her. Also, he signed an notarized letter giving up his parental rights in 2002 but this was never brought before a judge because my ex went back to jail.

First, the notarized document is null and void. A parent may not voluntarily terminate their parental rights absent a pending adoption.

As for him getting primary custody not likely to happen.

At 15 the child is old enough to weigh in on where she wants to live.

Time to file for a real custody order.
