Comprehensive Family Law Services in Chester County

Our attorneys bring decades of combined experience to family law matters, helping clients make confident, informed decisions during difficult times. Below are the core areas we serve across Chester County:

Divorce Representation for Complex and Uncontested Cases

We represent individuals in both contested and uncontested divorce proceedings, ensuring that the separation process is legally compliant, timely, and structured to preserve your rights.

Pennsylvania follows equitable distribution principles under 23 Pa. C.S. §3502, meaning that marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily equally. We help you navigate asset division, support obligations, and financial settlements with a personalized legal strategy. We also guide clients through spousal support (including APL) and alimony issues as outlined in 23 Pa. C.S. §3701.

Child Custody and Parenting Plans

Custody issues are some of the most sensitive and consequential areas of family law. We support parents in Chester County in building custody arrangements that reflect the best interests of the child, in accordance with 23 Pa. C.S. §5328.

Whether you’re establishing custody for the first time, modifying an agreement, or facing a relocation dispute, we provide practical guidance that considers your child’s needs and family structure.

Child and Spousal Support Solutions

We help clients in Chester County determine appropriate support levels based on Pennsylvania’s child support guidelines (23 Pa. C.S. §4321) and spousal support statutes. Whether you’re the payer or recipient, our attorneys ensure that income, expenses, childcare costs, and insurance needs are all fairly calculated.

We also assist with post-decree modifications and enforcement if your financial situation has changed or an existing order is not being followed.

Marital Agreements: Prenups and Postnups

We advise individuals and couples on crafting enforceable prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, which outline financial expectations, protect individual assets, and help avoid conflict down the road.

These agreements are legally valid in Pennsylvania when properly drafted, disclosed, and signed voluntarily, as governed by the Pennsylvania Uniform Premarital Agreement Act. Whether you’re planning a marriage or already navigating challenges, we can help you put protections in place.

Adoption, Paternity, and LGBTQ+ Family Law Services

Our Chester County legal team also provides services related to:

  • Adoption proceedings, including step-parent, grandparent, and private agency adoptions

  • Paternity and parental rights establishment

  • LGBTQ+ family law matters, including custody, donor agreements, and co-parenting arrangements

These areas require both legal precision and cultural competence, and our team is equipped to support diverse family needs with clarity and compassion.

Protection from Abuse (PFA) and Domestic Safety

We represent individuals seeking or responding to Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders. These cases move quickly and can have a significant impact on custody, housing, and safety.

We work with clients to swiftly and effectively handle PFA matters while upholding their rights and prioritizing safety.
