Child Custody
Perhaps the most heartbreaking aspect of a divorce is determining child custody and visitation rights. Each parent wants what is best for their child, but it is sometimes difficult to see eye-to-eye regarding what this looks like. A Philadelphia divorce attorney can act as a mediator in an attempt to come to an agreement without dragging your personal matters through court. However, we understand that this is not always possible. Sometimes taking the case before a judge is the only way to resolve a custody or visitation disagreement.
In Pennsylvania, the mother does not automatically receive sole custody of the child or children. The judge will examine several different aspects of the case in order to determine who should have physical custody. Sometimes parents will share legal custody, meaning they will both have a say in regards to education, healthcare, and religious decisions. Physical custody refers to the home the child lives in, but this too can be shared.

Through effective legal representation, our trusted attorneys can help successfully resolve your divorce or other family law issues.
