Types of Family Law Services
Feeman Law Offices provides the following types of family law services:
Divorce
There is no denying that going through a divorce is an emotionally draining experience. Besides the turmoil that you may be facing, there are many factors that need to be decided when a couple is terminating their legal union.
We are prepared to handle a range of divorce cases, from mutual consent and contested to high-asset divorces.
Prenuptial Agreements
Commonly known as premarital agreements in Pennsylvania, it is a binding contract that details how assets will be distributed if the couple divorces. A Lebanon, PA, family law attorney can draw up a schedule of your assets and help you and your soon-to-be spouse come to an agreement that meets both your needs.
Child Custody
Custody matters deal with making appropriate arrangements for your children to ease the transition during divorce. Custody cases handle both legal custody (which parent has the right to make decisions regarding a child’s education, religion, and welfare) and physical custody (which parent the child will live with). Custody matters will also manage visitation rights, which sets a schedule for the non-custodial parent to spend time with the child.
Child Support
Both parents are financially responsible for taking care of their child or children. Pennsylvania child support takes two main factors into account: which parent the child primarily resides with and the incomes of both parents.
Pennsylvania uses an income shares model, calculating each parent’s support payment based on a proportion of the individual’s net income. If you reside in Lebanon, PA, you can apply for support with the Lebanon County Domestic Relations Office.
Adoption
Even though adopting a child is a joyous experience, strict guidelines must be followed in the process. If you are thinking about expanding your family, Feeman Law Offices is available to answer any questions you may have.
