Contact us for experienced family law representation regarding the following:
Divorce
Our goal is to resolve divorce cases with a collaborative approach; however, we are prepared to litigate if it is in our client's best interest. We work with clients to determine the best strategy and discuss their options.
Alternative Dispute Resolution: Mediation and Collaborative law
When possible, we believe in negotiating and resolving matters outside of court. Our collaborative approach solves and mediates divorce, support, custody and equitable distribution.
Spousal Support / Alimony / APL
We give clients a good idea of what they can expect to owe or to receive in spousal support, alimony, or alimony pendente lite, which is a temporary form of alimony provided while the divorce process is ongoing.
Equitable Distribution / Marital Property Distribution
In Pennsylvania, the court reviews 17 factors to determine a division of assets that is fair and equitable. We work diligently with our clients as well as experts such as business valuators and forensic accountants to determine the full extent of the marital estate.
Child Support
Statutory guidelines in Pennsylvania determine child support, based on the income levels of both parents. However, high income cases which exceed the statutory guidelines take an experienced litigator and negotiator to obtain a most favorable result. We pride ourselves on our ability and experience to determine income as well as earning capacity so as to insure our client will receive or pay the appropriate and fair amount of support.
Child Custody and Visitation / Grandparents/ Third Party/Gay and Lesbian Rights
When determining issues of legal and physical custody, the courts primary consideration is the best interests of the children. We focus on you and your children to obtain a custody schedule which is best. We also represent the rights of grandparents' and third parties, as well as custody issues facing people in the gay and lesbian community. We provide candid counsel to our clients as we help them pursue a custody arrangement.
Prenuptial Agreements
Every prenuptial agreement we draft is specific, new and individual. Our goal is to protect our clients before marriage in the event of a separation, divorce, or death. Prenuptial agreements in Pennsylvania are valid and careful consideration must be taken when counseling a client and drafting the agreement.
Postnuptial Agreements / Property Settlements
An experienced lawyer drafting your final agreement will give proper consideration to that which could occur in the future.
Post Divorce Issues
We handle issues arising after divorce, including modifications to child support due to a substantial change in circumstances or modifications to custody based on the best interest of the child.
