Services
Divorce Representation
Our firm handles all aspects of divorce proceedings including fault and no-fault divorces, property division, and spousal support. We guide clients through Pennsylvania's two-year separation requirements and 90-day consent processes while protecting financial interests. With extensive courtroom experience, we advocate for fair settlements while minimizing family disruption through collaborative approaches.
Child Custody
We specialize in creating custody arrangements that prioritize children's well-being while protecting parental rights. Our attorneys handle legal and physical custody determinations, visitation schedules, and modifications. We advocate for shared custody solutions while addressing complex issues like relocation and third-party custody claims through negotiated agreements or litigation when necessary.
Mediation Services
Our certified mediators facilitate cooperative divorce settlements covering custody, support, and property division. We help couples maintain control over decisions while avoiding public court proceedings. The process emphasizes creative solutions for equitable distribution and post-divorce co-parenting arrangements, resulting in court-approved binding agreements with reduced emotional and financial costs.
Prenuptial Agreements
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect assets and clarify financial responsibilities. Our customized agreements address property division, spousal support, and debt management while ensuring legal enforceability. We help clients understand disclosure requirements and negotiate terms that balance protection with relationship considerations for both prospective and existing marriages.
Alimony & Support
We handle all aspects of spousal support including temporary alimony pendente lite and post-divorce maintenance. Our attorneys calculate payments based on Pennsylvania guidelines while advocating for fair outcomes considering earning capacity and lifestyle factors. We modify existing orders when circumstances change and enforce payment compliance through legal remedies when necessary.
