When custody of children becomes a contested issue, knowing how to minimize the impact of the dispute on the children is of paramount importance. We all know that it's best if children are not placed in the middle of their parents' dispute. But when that occurs, you should have a compassionate and experienced custody attorney by your side.
In Pennsylvania, both parents have a legal obligation to support their child. Ordinarily, the parent with whom the child resides primarily is the parent who will receive child support from the other parent. More often than not, these payments are made through the court. Whether you're the parent paying the child support or the parent receiving child support, the underlying issues are often confusing.
As a dependent spouse, you may be entitled to receive spsousal support from your husband or wife. The individual circumstances of your case will dictate your entitlement to such alimony, as well as the amount you may receive.

Deciding how to divide your marital property can be one of the more difficult aspects of a divorce. Negotiating this division of assets is one of the best ways to keep the costs of your divorce down. Having a creative problem solver on your side can help you arrive at a fair division of your assets.
