We Provide Dedicated Support and Effective Representation in Divorce Negotiations and Litigation
Going through a divorce is undoubtedly a stressful time, even if it’s amicable. The state of Pennsylvania recognizes fault (adultery, bigamy, cruelty, etc.) and no-fault (“irretrievable breakdown of the marriage”) grounds for divorce. As in every state, the law can become complex, so call us and speak to a qualified divorce lawyer about your particular situation. We offer personalized legal solutions to meet our clients’ unique needs.
Division of Marital Property & Debts: One major decision to make is how to divide assets such as the shared residence, vehicles and other belongings, bank accounts, retirement accounts, family businesses, and more. It’s our priority to protect your interests and ensure you get to keep the assets you deserve.
Child Custody: It is possible for one parent to be awarded sole custody if the court determines it to be in the best interests of the child, but in most cases, joint custody is shared between both parents. One parent will be awarded primary custody, which means the child will primarily live with them and visit the other parent on a court-ordered schedule. We’ll fight for an outcome that protects your child’s future and your relationship with them.
Child Support: When one parent is awarded primary custody, they may request child support payments from the other parent to help cover the child’s living expenses. To determine the appropriate amount of child support, courts consider the gross income of each parent, as well as the child’s specific needs.
Spousal Support (Alimony): Spousal support (also called alimony) may be awarded to the lower-earning spouse in a divorce. It is intended to help them adjust to supporting themselves. The amount and duration are determined based on various factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s gross income, the earning potential of each spouse, the time it would take the lower-earning spouse to obtain education/job training, etc.
