BILLHIME V. BILLHIME 952 A.2d 1174 (2008) CASE BRIEF

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.
