Experienced Lawyer for Your Legal Needs

Divorce can be complicated. We focus on your divorce and life. Divorces are not the same and one size does not fit all. Each Divorce has different concerns, emotions, income sources, assets and other interests. You and your Divorce is important to our firm.  Divorce can involve No-fault Divorce, Fault Divorce, Equitable Distribution, Child Custody, Child Support, Spousal Support, Protection from Abuse Orders and other complex divorce issues. 

In Pennsylvania, divorce parties can file a no-fault divorce. This type of divorce means your marriage is over or not working and no one event caused the divorce to occur. No fault divorce is the most common form of divorce in Pennsylvania.

Fault Divorces are not common in modern divorces. 

Grounds for Fault Divorce in Pennsylvania: 

1. Desertion for one year or longer

2. Adultery

3. Indignities that render your condition intolerable

4. Cruel and Barbarous Treatment

5. Bigamy

6. Prison Sentence of two or more years

Equitable Distribution in Divorce is the separation of marital non-marital assets. In divorce, the division of marital assets is complicated. Assets that are purchased during the marriage, investments, bank accounts, retirement accounts and many other assets may be marital in nature in divorce. The characterization and distribution of assets in divorce can be complicated and stressful. Let us help you in your divorce and remove the stress and risk. 

Child support can be stressful and aggravating. The party filing for child support is attempting to care for a child and provide for needs. The party paying child support is trying to care for the child while in the custody of that party while paying a significant portion of their income in child support. We will help you navigate this important child support issue. 

Spousal support can occur during the divorce proceedings and in some cases continue after a divorce decree as alimony. Spousal support takes both parties income and marital expenses into consideration. Spousal support can be complicated when considering multiple jobs, overtime and seasonal pay differences. Spousal support can seem difficult and stressful. We are here to help you with your Spousal Support needs.
