A divorce proceeding is always complicated if there are children involved. In both Pennsylvania the laws surrounding custody after a divorce are complex issues. If you or someone you love has children and is going through a divorce, finding an experienced Pennsylvania divorce lawyer is highly recommended and can save you a lifetime of problems.

Our office can handle most every custody issue surrounding divorce, whether you are married or unmarried or have already been divorced.

The two main types of child custody in Pennsylvania are legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody means that you have the right to make all decisions regarding what school your child goes to, where they obtain healthcare from and even where they live. Physical custody means where the child or children reside and when. You can file a motion for primary physical custody or shared physical custody (in both the legal and physical categories) and those options have their specific laws as well.

Your child or children can be legally bound to be in your custody only, with or without partial custody rights, or there can be some sharing of responsibility regarding the care of the children regardless of where they live. If the children are moved out of state or the country then several other state laws regarding custody are taken into consideration. You must always realize that no matter what your situation you should always be represented by a custody lawyer with years of experience in trying similar cases.

Obtaining a custody order by a court in Pennsylvania can save you a lifetime of insecurity regarding the upbringing of your children. The only way you can do this is by filing a successful legal pleading in the family court in your home state. In most cases of custody the parent involved is granted physical custody or partial physical custody of the child or children. In some rare cases the parents will be denied custody by the state if they are deemed to be unfit.
