Divorce: If you are considering divorce, it is important to consult an attorney who understands the intricate family laws of Pennsylvania.

I have the negotiation and litigation skills to assist clients in their divorce proceedings. I can skillfully draft divorce paperwork or aggressively argue to protect your rights in court. Let me help you through this emotional matter and work toward a favorable result.
Child Custody: Under Pennsylvania Law, the court looks at the "best interest of the child" standard when making a custody determination. The judge is particularly interested in ensuring that the parties are looking toward the child's best interests in these difficult decisions. There are two types of custody that the court must determine:
1. PHYSICAL CUSTODY - This involves where the child lives on a day to day basis.
2. LEGAL CUSTODY - This term refers to who is making important decisions about a child's health, medical, and education needs.
Child Support: In Pennsylvania, both parents are responsible for financially support their children. This support obligation is something that should come first in a parent's budget. There is a child support calculator for the state that helps to determine based on the parents' income what the child support amount will be.
