CHILD CUSTODY

Complaints for custody, partial custody and visitation are filed with the PROTHONOTARY'S OFFICE, located on the first floor of the Court House. The Telephone Number is: (570) 325-2481.

Your Complaint must be accompanied by a filing fee of $127.90 and a deposit for the costs and expenses of the Custody Master in the amount of $150.00. If you cannot afford these fees, you may file a petition with the Court asking to have them waived.
