Family Matters. Experience Counts.
At Cooper Family Law, we help individuals and families in Downingtown, PA, navigate life’s most personal legal challenges, from divorce and custody to adoption and spousal support. We approach each case with the care and clarity it deserves, offering guidance grounded in Pennsylvania family law and a commitment to client-focused service.
We serve clients throughout Chester County, including Downingtown, through remote consultations, clear communication, and streamlined legal strategies that align with your goals.
From pre-separation planning to post-judgment modifications, Cooper Family Law provides tailored legal services to clients in Downingtown at every stage of family transition.
Whether your divorce is amicable or adversarial, our team provides strategic counsel and representation. Pennsylvania law allows for contested and uncontested divorce, and we guide clients through each path with careful attention to financial and emotional outcomes.
Under 23 Pa. C.S. §3502, we handle equitable distribution of marital property, including real estate, retirement assets, and business interests, and provide representation in spousal support and alimony proceedings pursuant to 23 Pa. C.S. §3701.
We work with parents in Downingtown to establish or modify child custody arrangements that reflect the child’s best interests as outlined in 23 Pa. C.S. §5328. Whether through negotiated parenting plans or contested hearings, we advocate for custody orders that support your child’s health, education, and emotional stability.
We also handle relocation cases, emergency custody filings, and co-parenting agreements designed to reduce conflict and foster cooperation.
Financial support is a cornerstone of many family law cases. We assist clients with calculating and negotiating child support per Pennsylvania’s statutory guidelines (23 Pa. C.S. §4321) and address spousal support or APL needs based on income, employment, and living standards.
We also represent clients in modification and enforcement proceedings when financial situations change.
Building or protecting family rights can involve legal parentage. We support Downingtown residents through:
Private and agency adoptions
Step-parent and grandparent adoption
Voluntary acknowledgment and paternity testing
Petitions for legal parentage or custody by non-biological parents
These areas of law demand accuracy, compliance, and sensitivity, qualities we bring to every case.
We prepare and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that clarify financial rights and responsibilities. Whether you’re entering a second marriage, blending families, or managing business interests, these agreements create peace of mind and legal certainty.
We ensure each agreement complies with the Pennsylvania Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, meets disclosure requirements, and reflects our client’s long-term financial goals.
Whether temporary support is needed during separation or long-term support is negotiated in divorce, we guide clients through alimony proceedings aligned with 23 Pa. C.S. §3701. We evaluate income, assets, marital length, and post-divorce earning potential to craft sustainable agreements.
We assist clients who need protection from abuse or those responding to allegations. PFA cases can affect custody and housing, and are often fast-moving. We ensure your rights and safety are fully addressed in Chester County court.
