Family Matters. Experience Counts.
At Cooper Family Law, we provide comprehensive representation across all facets of family law. Our goal is to offer thoughtful, tailored legal guidance to residents of Bucks County, whether they are facing divorce, child custody disputes, or support issues. Below, we outline the primary legal areas we handle, each shaped by Pennsylvania statutes and a commitment to client care.
Divorce in Pennsylvania can be either contested or uncontested. Our attorneys assist clients in navigating both scenarios, advocating for favorable terms while minimizing unnecessary conflict. For high-net-worth individuals or business owners, we pay special attention to the valuation and division of complex assets.
Property distribution in Pennsylvania is governed by the principle of equitable distribution under 23 Pa. C.S. §3502, which considers a wide range of factors to ensure fairness. We also address spousal support needs early in the process, helping clients make informed decisions about their financial future before and after the divorce is finalized.
Disputes over custody and visitation are among the most emotionally charged areas of family law. In Bucks County, child custody decisions are made in the best interest of the child under 23 Pa. C.S. §5328, which evaluates factors like each parent’s role, household stability, and willingness to foster a positive relationship with the other parent.
We help clients secure both physical and legal custody arrangements, pursue relocation requests, and file for emergency custody when the child’s welfare is at risk. Whether negotiating parenting plans or litigating contentious custody matters, our team remains focused on protecting children and preserving family bonds wherever possible.
Support obligations play a pivotal role in post-separation planning. We assist clients with establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders using Pennsylvania’s support guidelines and the statutory framework under 23 Pa. C.S. §4321. We analyze income, healthcare needs, and educational expenses to propose fair and sustainable arrangements.
Spousal support, including alimony pendente lite (APL) and long-term alimony, is handled in accordance with 23 Pa. C.S. §3701, which considers the length of the marriage, each party’s earning capacity, and the standard of living established during the marriage. Our legal advice is pragmatic, compassionate, and always aligned with long-term financial security.
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that define property rights, protect pre-marital assets, and set financial expectations. These agreements are especially helpful for second marriages, blended families, or clients entering marriage with significant assets or liabilities.
Under the Pennsylvania Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, these documents must meet specific legal standards to be enforceable. Our attorneys ensure agreements are tailored, compliant, and clearly communicated between both parties.
When domestic safety is at risk, swift legal action is critical. We represent both petitioners and defendants in Protection from Abuse (PFA) matters in Bucks County. These cases often involve urgent hearings and can impact custody and support proceedings.
Whether seeking a temporary or final PFA, or responding to allegations, our attorneys offer sensitive and strategic representation while upholding due process and the safety of all parties involved.
