Unique Considerations for Uncontested Divorce in Montgomery County

Montgomery County families often have real estate, retirement accounts, or blended family arrangements that require thoughtful planning in the divorce. Our attorneys understand local property division practices, how local judges weigh parenting agreements, and special requests typical in Blue Bell, Conshohocken, and neighboring communities. With this background, we build solutions around your circumstances—adjusting for changes in local practice or new expectations at the county courthouse—so you close this chapter with peace of mind.

How long has same-sex marriage been legal in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania has recognized same-sex marriages since May 2014 when a U.S. federal district court judge ruled that Pennsylvania’s 1996 statutory ban on the recognition of same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. Before then, Pennsylvania prohibited same-sex marriage and refused to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. In June 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that all states must issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex marriages validly performed in other jurisdictions. This significant decision legalized same-sex marriage throughout the United States.
