Understanding the Issues in Divorce
In Pennsylvania, if a divorce is based on irreconcilable differences, there is a 90-day waiting period. In other words, the day you file for divorce becomes your date of separation, and then you must wait 90 days for the divorce to become final. Our divorce lawyers are skilled in handling contested and uncontested divorce cases, and all the issues that go along with divorce, such as:
- Child custody and visitation: Our goal is for parents to reach a child custody agreement that is in the best interests of the children. In many cases, that means an agreement that allows both parents to have substantial contact with the children.
- Child support and spousal support: We know how to work within Pennsylvania's child support guidelines to make sure that children are able to maintain their standard of living after divorce. If spousal support is warranted in your case, we will help you determine the proper amount, whether you are paying or receiving the support.
- Complex property division: We can help locate and value assets, such as real estate, stocks, retirement accounts and hidden assets so they can be divided fairly.
Whether these issues can be resolved in mediation or only through courtroom litigation, you can trust that we will always communicate openly with you and do our best to secure the future for you and your children.
