Whether you’re preserving generational wealth, protecting inherited property, or entering marriage with substantial premarital assets, a well-crafted agreement brings transparency and helps prevent future disputes.

Cohabitation and Property Planning Before Marriage

More couples are choosing to live together or purchase property before marriage. These arrangements carry legal risks that can be avoided with a clear cohabitation or property agreement.

Lebovitz & Lebovitz – Frequently Asked Questions

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 no fault paths: mutual consent irretrievable breakdown by agreement, or 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, there is a 90 day wait after service of the Complaint before the final decree. Alternatively, you can file no fault after one year of separation with no additional waiting after filing.

What is a prenuptial agreement?

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

Can I modify or revoke my prenuptial agreement?

Yes. A postnuptial agreement can amend or revoke a prenup after marriage. Both spouses must sign voluntarily with full disclosure 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 guidelines based on parents’ incomes and custody arrangements.
