A Comprehensive List of Family Law Services in Bucks County
Dedicated to each of her clients and committed to the wellbeing of their families, Attorney Blitshtein offers legal expertise in every aspect of family law, including:
- Divorce: Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. does everything in their power to ensure a rapid, stress-free divorce procedure. We acknowledge that a divorce is often an emotionally trying time, particularly if children are involved. By emphasizing effective communication and careful analysis, we will help you tie up loose ends and move forward.
- Uncontested Divorce: There are numerous types of divorce in the United States. The uncontested divorce is a collaborative option preferred by many. In the case of an uncontested divorce, spouses work out the terms of their separation together. With the help of their legal counsel, they generate consensus in a peaceful, confrontation-free manner. This approach eliminates the need for numerous lengthy hearings and other court procedures, which may only cost families more money.
- Alimony: Alimony, also known as "spousal support," is the money that one spouse may have to pay to another in the event of a divorce. Our team can help you navigate the challenging topic of alimony. There are four general types of alimony: temporary, rehabilitative, permanent, and reimbursement. We will explain the process and duration of alimony payment based on your own circumstances. Criteria include length of marriage, relative income and financial prospects, health, and fault in marital breakdown.
- Alimony Pendente Lite: Pendente lite is a Latin phrase meaning "pending litigation" or "awaiting litigation." When a divorce or separation is pending, alimony pendente lite is a temporary, court-ordered form of spousal support. Its purpose is to ensure that both parties maintain their standard of living during the divorce procedures.
- Spousal Support: In general, the financially stronger spouse is responsible for paying according to amounts and timeframes established in the court process. Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. will facilitate and guide you through the intricacies of this process.
- Child Custody: For a couple with children seeking a divorce, child custody is likely the single most important issue. Physical custody dictates where and with whom the child or children will live following the divorce. As your mediators, Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. will help to assemble the child custody agreement in the best interest of the children as well as both spouses.
- Child Support: Child support refers to the regular, incremental payments made to provide for the expenses of a child or children. Based on parental income, number and ages of children, basic living expenses, and school fees, a child support amount will be generated. The child support amount stays constant unless there is a drastic change of circumstances.
- Equitable Distribution: Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. will help both spouses reach a fair and equal division of property. In addition to income, health, and other criteria, we will analyze the sum of collective assets a couple has in their possession, including when they were acquired. In general, couples negotiate the fair division of assets themselves, though court-imposed distribution will be permitted if agreements aren't met.
- Property Settlement Agreement: Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. has extensive experience in providing property settlement agreements to couples. We strive to facilitate communication in an emotionally difficult time. The ultimate outcome is that each spouse receives what they want, collective possessions are dispersed in a democratic manner, and disagreements are avoided.
- Asset Distribution: If you and your spouse have spent years building a life together, the assets you have accumulated will require special attention. Assets can refer to a variety of different things, including property, possessions, investments, and more. We will compile the extent of both spouses' assets and ensure that both parties receive a fair share of what is theirs.
- Pre-Nuptial Agreements: Prior to marriage, couples may opt to sign a pre-nuptial agreement. This may be done for a variety of reasons, most notably for the sake of preparation regardless of what is to come. Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. will guide you through the process of completing a pre-nuptial agreement.
Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is at the heart of family law. As divorce lawyers, Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. works closely with our clients and soon-to-be ex-spouses to determine distribution of property, custody and child support, as well as issues involving retirement and tax.
Acting as mediators, we play a flexible role allowing for maximum cooperation between you and your spouse. Divorces have a reputation for being unpleasant, but our aim is to help make interactions civil and agreements simple.
While the job of many types of lawyers is to fight on behalf of their clients, divorce mediation requires a softer touch — one that is neutral and focused on assistance and solutions that genuinely work in the long run rather than tearing someone down. This is especially important if children are involved in the split.
Custody Lawyers
Depending on the individuals involved, divorces can take between 90 days and 18 months on average to settle. When children are involved, this situation becomes even more stressful. Because of this, having a custody lawyer on your side who will help you through it is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your children.
No matter how civil you are with your ex-spouse, when it comes to legal custody and child support, things get complicated. While many of our Bucks County clients have tried managing the divorce process on their own, in the end they find it necessary to have the knowledge and experience that only professional divorce lawyers can provide.
Whether it's through mediation or more formal divorce methods, you can count on Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. to be on the side of you and your children, reaching legal custody agreements that will keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy for the years ahead.
Personalized Family Law Services
No two clients approach us with the same concerns. There are newlyweds with minimal assets to their name, couples with multiple children, and those who bring many spousal grievances to our initial meetings.
We are not in the business of making assumptions about our clientele. Rather than telling you what we can do for you, we will first take the time to learn about your particular situation. During the initial consultation, we will listen attentively and ask appropriate questions. In the event that you are unsure as to what options are available, we will offer our expert insights.

Through skilled negotiation during mediation, or in the event that circumstances necessitate going to trial, the attorneys at Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. dedicate themselves to protecting legal rights and helping the people of Bucks County move forward with confidence.
