Comprehensive Family Law Services in West Chester

Every family law case is different, but the values we bring to each, compassion, clarity, and professionalism, remain the same. We help West Chester clients navigate challenges and move forward with security and peace of mind.

Divorce Representation for Families in Transition

Divorce is a legal and emotional turning point. Our attorneys help clients file for and complete contested or uncontested divorces, offering support with everything from property division to spousal support and parenting agreements.

We handle 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. Spousal support, including alimony pendente lite (APL) and post-divorce alimony, is handled under 23 Pa. C.S. §3701, with solutions based on each client’s financial circumstances and goals.

Child Custody and Parenting Plans

We work closely with parents to build custody arrangements that are in the best interests of the child under 23 Pa. C.S. §5328. Whether you’re starting from scratch, modifying an existing order, or navigating co-parenting conflicts, we help craft legal solutions that reflect the child’s needs and each parent’s role.

We also represent parents in relocation cases, emergency custody petitions, and situations involving special needs, safety concerns, or communication breakdowns.

Child Support and Financial Agreements

We help parents determine, modify, and enforce child support obligations based on Pennsylvania’s guidelines in 23 Pa. C.S. §4321. Calculations include income, childcare, health insurance, and other factors specific to your family.

Additionally, we represent individuals seeking or contesting spousal support, providing clarity around obligations during and after separation.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

We assist clients 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.

Adoption and Paternity Legal Services

We support West Chester clients in legally securing or establishing parental rights. Our services include:

  • Step-parent and agency adoptions

  • Grandparent adoption petitions

  • Paternity establishment and custody rights

  • LGBTQ+ parenting support and agreements

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

Protection from Abuse (PFA) and Emergency Relief
