Divorce in Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, you can seek a divorce based on fault or you can file a "no-fault" divorce. A no-fault divorce will generally be less expensive, will move through the process more rapidly, and will involve less emotion, stress and anxiety. If you want to avoid litigation, you must be willing to come to agreements regarding custody, visitation, support and property division.
If you file a divorce alleging that your spouse was at fault, you will be required to litigate any contested issues and provide evidence that your spouse committed acts that led to the divorce.
My Practice
I work closely with individuals at all stages of a divorce, from the decision to file through post-judgment requests for enforcement or modification. I handle all matters arising out of divorce, including
- Child custody and visitation. I will help you establish and implement custody and visitation plans that are in the best interests of your children and that protect your rights as a parent.
- Child support. I will make certain that your child support order complies with Pennsylvania guidelines and that all relevant income is properly considered.
- Alimony or spousal support. I will help you determine whether alimony is warranted and, if so, the amount and duration of payments.
- Property settlements. I will work with you to equitably divide marital debts and assets, including homes, investments, business property, and retirement plans, including state pensions.
- Orders for protection. I will help you obtain or challenge a request for a restraining order, if there are concerns about domestic violence or abuse.
For experienced and compassionate representation in all matters related to divorce, contact me to schedule a confidential consultation. My offices are conveniently located in the same building with the Montgomery County Domestic Relations Office and across the street from the Montgomery County Courthouse.
