If you have just seperated, and are not yet divorced, you may file in either state. You need to be aware that if you file in Pennsylvania, you may need to travel to the court and appear before the judge. If you want to file in New York, you may need to wait an obligatory period of time (usually 3 - 12 months) before you file there. If you are already divorced and you want to change support and custody arrangements, you may need to file in Pennsylvania because the court retains jurisdiction to make these decisions.

Do you have to have custody to file for child support?
Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.

If you have joint custody of your children do you have to pay child support while they spend the summer with you in NY?
This is an issue which should have been addressed in the original support agreement. If there is no stipulation as to how support should be administered when the children are with you. You are still obligated. You can however, have the order modified to read, that when you have physical custody the set payments at that particular time be used for the children's benefit.
