Ask Our Divorce Attorneys Anything

If you are considering filing for a divorce, we encourage you to seek our counsel during a no-obligation consultation. In Pennsylvania, the Divorce Code contains unique rules and regulations for both no-fault and fault-based divorces. Although no-fault divorces are by far the most common in the state, it's wise to discuss all your options with a certified attorney before making any final decisions or taking action.

Our attorneys are well-versed in all requirements and time restrictions set by the Pennsylvania court. We will work with you in a diligent, organized fashion to help you navigate the legal system in compliance with all relevant procedures. You don't need to know exactly what you want at the very outset — we want you to ask questions and feel comfortable doing so.

Uncontested Divorce Lawyer

An uncontested divorce is a divorce where both parties consent and agree to the terms. In Pennsylvania, an uncontested divorce may also be called a "no-fault and mutual-consent divorce." Uncontested divorces are more expedient and less expensive. You may qualify for an uncontested divorce if:

• Your marriage is irretrievably broken
• You or your spouse has lived in Pennsylvania for at least the past six months
• You and your spouse agree to the divorce
• You and your spouse are willing to sign an affidavit consenting to the divorce

Contested Divorce Lawyer

A contested divorce is one where:

• Spouses can't agree on the terms of the divorce
• One or both spouses refuse to sign an affidavit consenting to the divorce
• Financial or child-custody disputes are irreconcilable

In such cases, a spouse will have to involve the courts and file for separation. If you're considering divorce or you've been served with divorce papers, Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. can represent you and help you find your best course of action.

Child Custody Services

We recognize that child custody cases are complex and difficult. We will fight for your best-case outcome devoutly, drawing from 42 years of combined experience and the full resources of our established firm. Some forms of custody as set by Pennsylvania family law include:

• Sole legal/physical custody
• Shared legal/physical custody
• Primary physical custody
• Partial physical custody
• Supervised physical custody

The court strives to find a settlement in the child's best interests. At Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C., we work on behalf of our clients to champion their rights, as well as the rights of their children, to ensure the courts find the fairest solution possible.

Family Lawyer for Low-Income Clients

Law Offices Of Blitshtein & Weiss, P.C. can work alongside you to make sure you get the results you need from your family law case without going into debt. We can arrange payment plans, or, if you have a very strong case, only require payment if we successfully win your suit.
