Our Lawyers. Our Western PA lawyers understand how stressful this can be for you. We can also say that our experienced trial attorneys will be there with you every step of the way. Divorce. Our attorneys handle the equitable distribution part of your divorce (no-fault divorce and fault-based divorce), issues of separation in no-fault (what it means to live “separate and apart” for the requisite time). Each attorney at our firm analyzes the impact of appellate court decisions and statutes (including the divorce code) concerning “common law” marriage in Pennsylvania and lingering issues of common law marriage. We also analyze the modern day requisites for a valid marriage in Pennsylvania, cohabitation agreements, pre-marital agreements, prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, petitions for temporary possession of property or use of home, equitable distribution, hearings on equitable distribution, petitions for sole possession, location of assets, cases where bigamy is alleged and other complex issues of divorce exist. We try to negotiate the equitable distribution portion of the divorce as amicably as possible and we often recommend mediation. Our attorneys constantly look for ways to streamline a divorce whether the proceedings involve a fault-based divorce and a no-fault divorce. Our lawyers evaluate whether prenuptial agreements can be upheld. We also evaluate issues of an engagement ring and whether and engagement ring must be returned if the marriage never takes place. Support. Every attorney at our firm can help you calculate the different types of support. (1) SPOUSAL SUPPORT. We can evaluate the each party's income and whether any income will be imputed to you our your spouse. (2) ALIMONY and APL: each lawyer in our firm is ready to negotiate the best possible resolution of any claim for alimony, taking into account the amount of time and money it will take the dependent spouse to become retrained and/or otherwise involves in the workforce. (3) CHILD SUPPORT. Our attorneys also handle issues concerning child support, income, and imputed income issues. As with spousal support (above), we evaluate the basis of all claims for support. Custody. 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.

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.
