Divorce - Pittsburgh Divorce Attorney

EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
Our 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). Each attorney at our firm analyzes 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 also analyze the modern day requisites for a valid
marriage in Pennsylvania, cohabitation agreements, pre-marital agreements,
prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, petitions for temporary
possession of property or use of home, equitable distribution, hearings on
equitable distribution, petitions for sole possession, location of assets, cases
where bigamy is alleged and other complex issues of divorce exist.

We will negotiate the equitable distribution portion of the divorce as
reaonably as possible. In some cases, we recommend mediation. Our
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.

Our attorneys evaluate dependency issues and the prerequisites for
adoption. Each attorney in our firm can handle grandparent adoptions,
step-parent adoptions, surrogate parent adoption, domestic agency
adoption, and private adoption. We handle proceedings concerning the
termination (voluntary or involuntary) of parental rights. We will handle all
the paper work concerning your adoption in either Allegheny, Beaver, and
Washington Counties. Call us to speak with experienced family law attorneys
on this matter.
