Can a mother living in the state of PA , if she gains custody of two small children relocate to another state?

The issue is not so much custody, but visitation. If there is a court ordered visitation schedule for the father and your move will prevent him from exercising that schedule, then you need court permission to move.

If this is an ongoing battle for custody, then the prospect of a move needs to be brought before the court.
