BILLHIME V. BILLHIME
952 A.2d 1174 (2008)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Mother (M) appealed an order that denied her motion to relinquish
jurisdiction to the State of Florida with regard to the pending custody matter against
Father (F).
FACTS: M and F are the parents of twin boys. The family remained in Florida until 2001,
when they relocated to Pennsylvania. M and F separated in early 2004. The trial court
awarded primary physical custody of the children to M and partial physical custody to F. In
March 2005, M and the children moved back to Florida. The trial court modified the custodial
arrangement, with M retaining primary physical custody but permitting F to enjoy custody
during the boys' spring, Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations, as well as nearly all of
their summer vacation. Multiple petitions for contempt were filed and adjudicated in the
trial court in Pennsylvania. On June 8, 2006, F filed a petition with the trial court
seeking primary custody of the children. M responded by filing a motion requesting that the
trial court relinquish jurisdiction over this child custody action to Florida. The trial
court denied M's motion because the children and one of the parents continues to have a
significant connection with this Commonwealth. M appealed.
