Divorce agreements are permanent. Pennsylvania courts rarely reopen settled cases — meaning the terms you agree to today govern your finances, parenting schedule, and support obligations for years to come.
After more than forty years handling Pennsylvania divorce cases, our attorneys at Schwartz, Fox & Saltzman have seen the same costly mistakes repeat:
Even in amicable cases, having an attorney review your agreement before you sign protects you from provisions you don’t fully understand — and concessions you don’t realize you’re making.
We scale our involvement to what your situation requires: full representation for complex or contested matters, focused document review when that’s all you need.
Understanding the path ahead helps reduce anxiety during an already difficult time. While no two cases follow exactly the same timeline, the general structure remains consistent.
Your attorney walks beside you through each phase, clarifying your legal position, explaining available choices, and building strategies that serve your long-term interests.
Pennsylvania offers two no-fault divorce routes under 23 Pa. C.S. § 3301(c) and § 3301(d):
Choosing no-fault grounds simplifies one aspect of divorce — but Pennsylvania law still requires you to resolve property division, support, and parenting before a divorce decree is entered.
Under23 Pa. C.S. § 3502, marital property is divided according to equitable distribution — meaning fairly, not automatically 50/50. The court weighs factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, and contributions to the household when determining what a fair split looks like for your specific situation.
Our divorce attorneys help you understand where you stand under Pennsylvania law and develop a strategy to protect your financial future from the start.
Not every disagreement requires a judge’s decision. Alternative approaches often deliver favorable results while saving time and money.
Our team of divorce lawyers helps you evaluate which approach makes sense given your specific situation and what you’re trying to accomplish.
Divorce can bring up difficult questions about your rights, finances, children, and what to expect from the legal process. Watch our attorneys explain common divorce topics and provide clear, practical guidance.
From Wynnewood to nearby neighborhoods, we’re here to provide reliable, personalized support you can count on—right where you live.
Mutual consent cases often conclude within three to four months. Contested matters involving custody disputes or complex assets typically extend six months to a year or beyond, depending on court availability and negotiation progress.
Divorce lawyer fees depend on case complexity and time requirements. Uncontested matters cost less than cases requiring extensive negotiation, financial analysis, or court hearings. Your initial consultation provides a realistic estimate based on your circumstances.
Most couples use no-fault grounds — either mutual agreement after 90 days or separation for one year. Fault-based options like adultery or abandonment exist but are less common and generally don’t affect custody or property outcomes.
Substantial wealth introduces valuation challenges that simpler divorces don’t face. Under 23 Pa. C.S. § 3502, Pennsylvania courts divide marital property equitably — but first, every asset must be properly identified, classified, and valued.
Business interests, investment portfolios, stock options, retirement accounts, and real estate all require expert analysis. QDROs govern how retirement accounts are divided without triggering tax penalties. High net worth divorce cases routinely involve forensic accountants and business appraisers working alongside your legal team.
You can still proceed. After one year of separation, Pennsylvania law permits divorce even without your spouse’s agreement. The court will finalize your divorce once it confirms that the marriage cannot be saved.
Recent financial documents work best — tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs, and retirement account information. Include any prenuptial agreements or existing court orders. A written list of your concerns helps make the consultation more productive.
Custody decisions, support arrangements, and property division create consequences that extend years beyond your divorce decree. Getting these matters right from the start protects your financial security and your relationship with your children.
