Divorce lawyers in Pennsylvania handle complex, very personal legal issues - which is why an experienced law firm is essential to the success of any divorce case. Munley, Munley & Cartwright, P.C., has been representing clients in Pennsylvania divorce cases for years, and our attorneys have extensive experience in the following matters:

• Framework of marriage, civil unions, and premarital agreements for clients who wish to protect assets prior to marriage;
• Marital concerns such as spousal abuse, paternity, adoption, and surrogacy;
• Termination of marriage involving separation, divorce, property division, alimony, child custody, and child support.

Help For Your Divorce

In Pennsylvania, couples can file for a no-fault divorce or a fault-based divorce. Grounds for fault-based divorce proceedings include adultery, bigamy, imprisonment and cruel treatment. A no-fault divorce allows a court to find that the relationship is no longer viable based on grounds that include irreconcilable differences and irretrievable breakdown.

To seek a divorce in Pennsylvania, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months immediately prior to the court filing. You must state your legal grounds for a divorce in your court filings. If your spouse disagrees with your filing, the divorce may become a contested one. If your spouse does not raise objections, the divorce is considered an uncontested one. Any property the couple owns will be divided in an out-of-court settlement or after a series of court hearings. Custody and visitation rights for any children of the marriage may also be settled by agreement between the parties or in court hearings.

Filing divorce papers and making sure the correct grounds for a divorce are stated can be a complex procedure. Without a family lawyer representing you, valuable property rights can be lost, as can custody, support and visitation rights. The Pennsylvania family lawyers of Munley, Munley & Cartwright, P.C., can ensure that all of your rights are protected throughout the divorce process.
