Get Tough About Visitation
It is true that a custody or visitation order is "always"
modifiable, however, the courts will hold you to the
goals you exihibit early on, i.e, the courts try to
preseve the "status quo." If, for example, you informally
agree to a reduced custody role and you accept that
role for a period of time, the courts will see that as the
"status quo" and you may not be put on track to
receive an expanding custodial role in the years to
come. You only get one chance to make a great first
impression with the courts. You need to get aggressive
early on to establish your credibility and communicate
your goals of an expanded role in custody in Pittsburgh,
PA and surrounding areas.

Take Advantage of Help
Your lawyer will know the tremendous hardship imposed
by a dispute over child custody rights. You can take
comfort in knowing that an experienced attorney will
have handled child custody claims like yours throughout
Western Pennsylvania. We know the benefit you will
receive from having an attorney walk you through the
process and help you move toward the best possible
custody agreement or resolution through the courts.

The Claims We Handle.
CLAIMS BY PARENTS. Our lawyers represent parents
during claims for custody. We handle claims for total
custody, partial custody and/or visitation only filed in
Pennsylvania and also interstate claims. We also attend
custody conferences and proceedings before hearing
officers and judges and/or custody trials. Our attorneys
also handle appeals to custody resolutions. Further, in
the context of a custody determination, we also handle
other matters that may surface, such as Protection
from Abuse Hearings (PFA) that take place while child
support issues remain ongoing. We also help with PFA
appeals. We negotiate with other lawyers to resolve the
matter most efficiently. Our attorneys always try to
negotiate with the other lawyer or lawyers involved in
the case. Call us to speak with experienced family law
attorneys on this matter.

GRANDPARENT CUSTODY RIGHTS. Our attorneys analyze
the custody Code and all issues concerning claims for
custody by grandparents and other family members. We
evaluate the basis for standing for a grandparent or
other family member and we handle representation of
grandparents and other family members at conferences,
hearings, and trials. As always, our attorneys will
negotiate with the litigant or lawyer on the other side of
the case to bring about the most reasonable resolution
of every case. We handle these issues throughout
Allegheny County (including Pittsburgh), Beaver County,
and Washington Counties. Call us to speak with
experienced family law attorneys on this matter.
Serving Allegheny, Beaver, and Washington Counties.
