b”A GREAT Pittsburgh Divorce Law Firm and Attorneys for Divorce, Support, Child Custody, in Allegheny (Pittsburgh) and Beaver County
Pittsburgh and Beaver County Divorce Lawyers.
We appreciate the difficulties you will face when going through a divorce,
especially when disputes over property and assets come into play. Our
experienced attorneys will guide you through the process and advocate
zealously for your interets in court. Our Pittsburgh and Beaver County family
law attorneys handle divorce (no-fault divorce and fault-based divorce), issues
of separation in no-fault (what it means to live separate and apart for the
requisite time). We analyze the impact of appellate court decisions and
statutes (including the divorce code) concerning common law marriage in
Pennsylvania and lingering issues of common law marriage.
We can also help draft (or interpret) your cohabitation agreement, pre-marital
agreement, prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreement, petitions for
temporary possession of property or use of home, equitable distribution,
hearings on equitable distribution, petitions for sole possession, prenuptial
agreements (drafting), enforcement of prenuptial agreement, claim for
engagement ring, location of assets, cases where bigamy is alleged and other
complex issues of divorce exist.
Each Pittsburgh and Beaver County lawyer at our firm tries to negotiate the
equitable distribution portion of the divorce as amicably as possible and we
often recommend mediation. Our Pittsburgh attorneys constantly look for ways
to streamline a divorce whether the proceedings involve a fault-based divorce
and a no-fault divorce. Our lawyers evaluate whether prenuptial agreements
can be upheld. We also evaluate issues of an engagement ring and whether and
engagement ring must be returned if the marriage never takes place.
Support.
We will look at the relative income of each party and apply the legislative
tables/guidelines to give you a realistic estimate of the support obligation
involved in your case. Below are the various types of support:
(1) SPOUSAL SUPPORT. This type of exists for the dependent spouse prior to
divorce. Each Pittsburgh attorney at our firm can help you evaluate the support
obligation that is payable in your case in Western Pennsylvania, mainly
Allegheny (Pittsburgh), Beaver, and Washington Counties.
(2) ALIMONY. This type of support can exists following the entry of a divorce
decree. An attorney must evaluate claims for alimony and help work out
whether any award for alimony should be agreed upon or ordered, and the
amount of alimony.
(3) APL. This is the type of support a dependent spouse may receive while
divorce proceedings are ongoing and the dependent spouse needs income to
sustain himself/herself during the divorce proceedings.

divorce, or custody for the most part. Contact us for an estimate of the child
support obligation involved in your case.
