Divorce

Comprehensive Divorce Representation

If you are contemplating a divorce, of if your spouse has asked for a divorce, it is critical to consult with a knowledgeable divorce attorney as soon as possible to learn how Pennsylvania divorce laws may impact you. Obtaining a divorce decree is a matter of meeting required waiting periods and is generally unrelated to the behavior of either spouse during the marriage. However, the no-fault divorce process does not address other issues related to the marriage such as asset and debt distribution, support, alimony and custody.

The Paths Through Divorce

There are different paths that a couple can take to finalize a marriage and its related issues. Some of these are relatively amicable and involve face-to-face meetings. These include mediation, the collaborative divorce process, and planned early negotiation. Some are highly contested and involve conflict and court intervention.
