Family Matters. Experience Counts.
At Cooper Family Law, our practice represents families in West Chester, PA, through some of life’s most sensitive and personal family law matters. Whether you are preparing for a divorce, navigating custody concerns, or seeking clarity in financial obligations, our family law firm offers thoughtful and strategic representation rooted in Pennsylvania law.
Our experienced attorneys are here to provide legal advice on a wide range of family law issues, enabling you to move forward with confidence during a complicated and stressful time.
Our family law practice areas include uncontested and contested divorce, custody, child support, property division, and protective orders, and we tailor our approach to the unique needs of married, unmarried parents, and other parties’ specific cases.
Divorce can be an emotional turning point. Our experienced family law attorneys assist with filing for and completing contested or uncontested divorces, including the division of property, spousal support payments, and parenting agreements.
We guide you through the divorce process from the first filing to the final divorce decree signed by a judge, whether one spouse is ready to move forward or both spouses want a cooperative path. When appropriate, we discuss divorce mediation to help parties resolve legal issues efficiently under Pennsylvania divorce law.
Our legal team handles the equitable distribution of marital property as outlined in 23 Pa. C.S. §3502, ensuring all assets, real estate, businesses, pensions, and investments are fairly addressed based on your unique circumstances. Post-divorce alimony is governed by 23 Pa. C.S. §3701. Spousal support and alimony pendente lite (APL) are determined under the Pennsylvania Support Guidelines in the Rules of Civil Procedure and are processed through the county Domestic Relations Office.
We work closely with parents to establish arrangements that are in the best interests of the child, as outlined in 23 Pa. C.S. §5328. We represent parents in relocation cases, emergency custody petitions, and situations involving special needs, safety concerns, or communication breakdowns.
We can also discuss mediation options and practical tools to reduce stress during negotiations so you can focus on your child’s needs.
We help parents determine, modify, and enforce child support obligations under the Pennsylvania Support Guidelines in the Rules of Civil Procedure. Calculations include income, childcare, health insurance, and other factors specific to your situation.
Additionally, we represent individuals seeking or contesting spousal support, providing clarity around obligations during and after legal separation. Many child support matters are handled through the county’s Domestic Relations processes, and we help you prepare for each step so you can make informed decisions about your finances.
We assist in preparing clear and enforceable marital agreements, including prenuptial and postnuptial contracts, that define asset ownership and financial expectations. These are especially helpful in second marriages, blended families, and high-asset situations.
All agreements are drafted in compliance with the Pennsylvania Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, protecting your rights and reducing future conflict.

Each case is approached with care, cultural sensitivity, and precision.
