If you and your spouse disagree on how to resolve any of the issues arising from your divorce, you each may need a divorce lawyer to advise you and advocate for your interests in court. The divorce lawyers at Schwartz, Fox & Saltzman, LLC have over fifty years of experience helping families in the Philadelphia area get through divorce.
If you and your spouse agree on resolutions to the family law issues arising from your divorce, such as the child custody schedule, what happens to the marital home, who pays support and how much, and how your marital assets and debts will be divided, you should still consider hiring a divorce lawyer. In this case, you may file an uncontested divorce and submit your documents to the clerk of court, but an experienced divorce attorney helps ensure you don’t unintentionally compromise your rights.
You may also seek out alternative divorce resolution services such as mediation or collaborative family law.
An uncontested divorce proceeds rather quickly because the parties agree on resolutions to the issues arising from their divorce. A contested divorce, where one party does not want to get divorced or the parties do not agree on child custody, support, or property distribution, can take months or years to resolve.
When we can, we help parties find resolutions to their disagreements through alternative dispute methods. When we must, we advocate fiercely for our client’s interests in court. Every divorce is different and requires the experience and knowledge of a long-time divorce lawyer in their jurisdiction. Call the divorce lawyers at Schwartz, Fox & Saltzman, LLC for help with your divorce in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.
Pennsylvania is a no-fault divorce state. As such, the reasons for the divorce are not relevant, except in calculating alimony to a limited degree.
A divorce can be completed in as little as four months if consensual, or can take over a year if the parties cannot agree on any of the issues arising from their divorce and must litigate.
Between legal fees and court costs, the amount you pay for a divorce can be substantial. If you use a divorce mediator, the cost may be per hour, per session, or a flat fee, and the cost will be divided between you. If you retain a divorce attorney, they will charge by the hour.
Filing for divorce in Philadelphia requires a divorce complaint, service upon the non-filing spouse, and determination of the issues arising from the divorce such as child custody, child support, spousal support and alimony, and distribution of marital property. These issues can be resolved among the parties, with the help of a mediator, or through litigation with the help of a divorce lawyer, when a judge decides.
