A Prenuptial Agreement Before the Wedding. A Divorce Attorney When It Falls Apart. Every Pennsylvania Family Law Topic We Handle.

By Stephen H. Lebovitz, Esquire · Family Law & Divorce · Pittsburgh, PA

Family law problems do not arrive one at a time. Divorce brings property division, support, custody, and beneficiary designation problems simultaneously. Each is governed by different law with different deadlines. Every family law topic we handle in Pennsylvania is listed below, organized by the situation that sends people looking.

Parenting & Custody Control

Custody cases are decided by documented behavior, not stated intentions. The parent who establishes a consistent parenting record, maintains proximity to the child’s school, and arrives at the first conference with a workable plan controls the narrative from the start.

Financial Exposure & Support

Support orders in Pennsylvania run from the filing date. A parent who waits to file a modification while circumstances have already changed pays the old amount for every month of delay. The obligation does not adjust retroactively.

Asset Division & Strategic Divorce

What is marital and what is separate gets decided during discovery, not at trial. A business interest, a retirement account, or a real estate holding that is not properly classified and valued before the hearing becomes a financial problem that is difficult to correct after the fact.

Protective & Preemptive Planning

The agreements and orders entered before conflict escalates determine what leverage looks like when it does. A prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement, or early legal positioning in a deteriorating marriage shapes every negotiation that follows.
