Effective January 1, 2026, The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts has implemented a statewide increase to the “Jen & Dave” (Act 119 of 1996) fee that is applied to all initial custody filings within the Civil/Family Division of the Department of Court Records. In accordance with this statewide adjustment, the Jen & Dave fee will increase from $10.00 to $10.50.
This administrative change is insignificant. The August 19, 2025 changes to the Pennsylvania custody factors — which we wrote about this summer — are not.
