Verifying the earnings of a spouse or parent is vitally important so that the proper amount of monetary support can be calculated. Our lawyers will make certain that the Court also considers all regular expenses necessary to maintain the family home as well as care for children.

Records regarding education, employment skills, and prior location/employment-related history can all be used as barometers for the proper establishment (or recalculation through review) of a Support Order. Complex support proceedings require an analysis of “reasonable needs” – along with a Court determination of earnings (and sometimes “earning capacity”).

Child Custody & Visitation

The child custody aspects of Pennsylvania Domestic Law are sometimes very contentious and emotionally charged. However, the Court will always view circumstances in light of the effect upon the minor children – and consider what is in their “best interest.” Stability is always an important factor. The effect upon the child or children will be viewed from the standpoint of the social, emotional, educational, and medical well-being of children.
