Modern Living Arrangements & Buying a House Before Marriage

In today’s world, many couples choose to live together or purchase property before marriage. While this can be an exciting step, it also brings legal considerations that should not be overlooked. If you are buying a house together before marriage, it is crucial to clearly define ownership rights and responsibilities. We recommend drafting a cohabitation agreement or property agreement that outlines how the property will be owned, maintained, and potentially divided if the relationship ends. This can prevent disputes over assets and protect both parties’ interests.

Whether you are living together long-term, planning to marry, or simply investing in property jointly, our firm can help you understand your rights and craft agreements tailored to your needs. Proper planning now can save emotional and financial hardship later.

Family Law & Divorce FAQs

How do I file for divorce in Pennsylvania?

You must meet Pennsylvania’s six-month residency requirement and file a Complaint in Divorce. PA offers both no-fault grounds: mutual consent (irretrievable breakdown by agreement) and irretrievable breakdown after separation.

What is equitable distribution of marital property?

Pennsylvania divides marital assets equitably based on factors like marriage length, contributions, and future needs. Separate property owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance is usually excluded.

How long does a divorce take in Pennsylvania?

For a mutual-consent divorce, you must wait 90 days after service of the Complaint before the final decree. Alternatively, you can file on no-fault grounds after one year of separation, with no additional waiting required after filing.

What is a prenuptial agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is a written contract before marriage that defines asset division, support obligations, and debt responsibility if divorce occurs. In Pennsylvania, valid prenups require full financial disclosure, voluntariness, and fair terms.

Can I modify or revoke my prenuptial agreement?

Yes, postnuptial agreements can amend or revoke prenups after marriage. Both spouses must sign voluntarily, with full disclosure of assets, to reflect changes like new business ventures or inheritance.

How are child custody and support decided?

Courts use the best interests of the child standard for custody, weighing stability and parental fitness. Child support follows Pennsylvania’s guidelines based on parents’ incomes and custody arrangements.
