Child Support

Child support can be confusing and tricky to calculate. The state of Pennsylvania has specific guidelines for determining child support payments that depend on various factors, such as the income of each co-parent and the number of children involved. Our attorneys are well versed in the complexities of child support matters to negotiate effectively on your behalf while keeping conflict to a minimum. Whether you’re anticipating a change in custody arrangements or need to enforce an existing child support order, our firm is here to prioritize your best interests and give you peace of mind during this stressful time. 

Child Custody

For couples with children, child custody is often one of the biggest stressors of divorce. Our seasoned attorneys have an in-depth understanding of child custody laws in Pennsylvania to represent your best interests in child custody disputes and related matters. There are two types of child custody in Pennsylvania, including: 

1. Legal Custody: Legal custody refers to the right of a parent to make important, long-term decisions for their child, including education, religion, and healthcare. 
2. Physical Custody: Physical custody determines where the child will primarily reside, as well as visitation rights for the non-custodial parent.

As a parent, it’s normal to feel stressed about child custody decisions, especially during or after a hostile divorce. Because family courts can consider a wide range of factors when determining child custody arrangements, it’s crucial to secure sound counsel from a qualified lawyer as soon as possible. Fortunately, our firm is dedicated to safeguarding your family’s health, safety, and financial security. 

Our attorneys can help you navigate the legal intricacies of child custody and advocate for a favorable outcome on your behalf. We commonly represent parents and guardians in grandparents’ rights, stepparents’ rights, and individual rights disputes. With years of experience representing parents, you can count on our advocates to protect your individual rights while fighting to ensure your side of the story is heard.
