Family Law FAQ

Get the Answers You Need

  • Can I get full custody of my child?

    It depends on the facts. Courts look at what’s best for the child—safety, stability, and each parent’s involvement. If full custody is justified, I’ll fight to make that case clear.

  • How is child support calculated in Pennsylvania?

    Support is based on income, custody time, and a set formula. But if the numbers are wrong or circumstances are unique, I can help make sure the amount is fair and accurate.

  • How long does a divorce take?

    Uncontested divorces can be finalized in a few months. Contested divorces—especially with property or custody disputes—can take longer, but I work to resolve things efficiently and with as little stress as possible.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a PFA?

    Yes. Whether you’re filing for protection or defending against a false claim, these cases move fast and can have major consequences. I can guide you through hearings, evidence, and court procedures from day one.

  • What happens if the other parent doesn’t follow the custody order?

    You can petition the court to enforce the order or modify it. I’ll help you document violations and take legal steps to protect your time with your child.
