Enforcing Marital Settlement Agreements
A marital settlement agreement, like any agreement, is only as good as the people entering into it. If your ex-spouse is not following through with the terms of your marital settlement agreement, we can take action to ensure that they ultimately meet their obligations. Our lawyers are experienced in handling contempt issues.
Post-Divorce Modifications
It is common for people’s circumstances to change after a divorce. In order to reflect these changes, the terms of a divorce agreement may need to be modified. Child custody can be modified based on the best interest of children. Child support is modifiable as well based on a substantial change in circumstances, such as an increase or decrease in income for one or both parties.
Spousal support or APL is modifiable until the time the divorce is finalized. Once divorce is final, alimony is usually not modifiable.
Whether a case of APL or spousal support, enforcement of child support, or the handling of a different family law matter, the attorneys at Shemtob Draganosky Taylor Stein, PC have the experience and knowledge to assist you with these issues. Our many years of experience have provided us with insight on how a court may rule in certain situations, and what direction a case is likely to take.
If you are facing post-divorce modifications or contempt issues and need legal assistance, contact Shemtob Draganosky Taylor Stein, PC today.

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.
