Divorce

We handle all aspects of divorce and legal separation, including:

• Property division
• Spousal support/alimony
• Child custody and support

Our divorce lawyers are skilled at handling both contested and uncontested divorces in Pennsylvania. We listen to you describe your individual circumstances. Once we have a clear picture of your unique situation, we can then provide informative advice about how to move forward. We know what it takes to successfully achieve the best possible resolution in a divorce.
In many instances, clients come to us with many key elements of the divorce already agreed upon. We skillfully help them resolve the remaining issues either through mediation or trial.

Spousal Support/Alimony

Various forms of financial support may be awarded through the court or agreed upon by the parties, such as:

• Alimony Pendente Lite (APL): Financial support provided during the divorce proceeding to a spouse who has no earned income or a significantly lower income. This temporary support levels the playing field during the divorce proceedings by providing money to hire an attorney.
• Temporary alimony: Financial support provided for a period of time following the divorce to enable a spouse to rehabilitate him or herself to the working world, such as through the completion of a college degree or other vocational training.
• Permanent alimony: While rare, special circumstances, such as a physical or mental disability, a lengthy marriage, or other specific circumstances may compel the court to award permanent spousal maintenance.

Contact our spousal support attorneys to discuss your rights.

Child Custody, Child Visitation, Child Support

We guide families through sensitive legal matters involving their children when a divorce or separation occurs, such as:

• Child custody and visitation: We offer guidance in evaluating and determining parenting plans which clearly set forth legal custody, physical custody, and visitation schedules.
• Child support: We represent parents in obtaining or defending against child support actions, from the filing of the initial action to conferences, mediation, hearings, and appeals, if necessary
• Enforcement of out-of-state orders: We are fluent in matters involving out-of-state support and custody orders, including matters involving the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act. We register foreign orders so that families may enforce out-of-state orders in Pennsylvania.
• Modifications of custody orders: We recognize that situations change throughout life. Our child custody lawyers handle motions to modify or change custody. If there has been a substantial change in circumstances affecting the children, such as a move or parental relocation, the court will consider a change of child custody or modifications to the terms of the visitation schedule or parenting plan.
• Modifications of support orders: Our attorneys can assist you in bringing a motion to increase or decrease child support, based upon increased or decreased income, special needs of the child, a change in the custody arrangement, or other significant changes affecting child support.
