provides representation in the areas of divorce law and in
the areas of spousal and child support. Under Pennsylvania
Law, there need not be grounds for divorce, except that the
marriage be irretrievably broken. There are also still fault
divorces for cruel and barbarous treatment, desertion, and
adultery. Determining what type of divorce is in your best
interests requires consultation with an experienced attorney.

We
represent clients in all phases and types of divorces. This
includes representation in the awarding of alimony and
the division of property. In Pennsylvania, parties to a marriage
are entitled to the division of marital property on an equitable
(not equal) basis. While equitable often equates to a fairly
even split of the assets and debts, it can be weighted much
differently depending upon the relative contributions of both
parties.
The
laws controlling equitable distribution and divorce are extremely
complex. There are many rules and exceptions to those rules
that the Court will employ in determining who is entitled to
what. Therefore, representation early in the case is important
in helping the parties determine what they can take from the
marriage, and aggressive representation is important in maximizing
the benefits one will take from a marriage.
The no
fault divorce, where there is no property available
for equitable distribution, is a fairly routine matter
that a competent lawyer can walk you through without any
complications.
In
Pennsylvania, child support and spousal
support are also available through the County Domestic
Relations Offices. A hearing officer determines the amount
of support a party must pay. There are many rules that govern
support and an experienced attorney can often decide if any
of the exceptions apply to you and thereby, increase or decrease
your support payments. In addition, if you are not happy with
what the Domestic Relations Office assigns to you for support,
you have the right to appeal to the Court of Common Pleas for
a hearing de novo (new hearing), which starts from scratch.
At the hearing de novo, a lawyer would represent you in front
of a judge in determining your support amount.
While
support is often mechanical, in so much as the state has guidelines,
which are applied, the guidelines can be deviated from for
any number of reasons that are contained in the Rules of Civil
Procedure, and as required by law. Therefore, the guidelines
may or may not apply to you. Consultation with an experienced
attorney will help you determine whether or not the guidelines
do apply to your case.
