Parent-Child Relationship Matters
If you are like most parents, you are convinced that you would do anything for your children’s well-being. Sorting out what that looks like when you are divorced or separated can get difficult in a hurry when your ideas about an appropriate parenting plan differ significantly from that of the other parent. Pennsylvania family law courts put the child’s best interests as the highest priority in any child-related case, regardless of your marital or relationship status with the other parent. For most families, a custody and visitation order establishes the necessary parameters that can help you build a rewarding life with your child appropriate to your unique family circumstances.
LGA Law is a reliable source of guidance and information for Pennsylvania parents and grandparents when family situations require custody and visitation and/or child support orders. Our lawyers are compassionate, attentive and committed to helping you and your child move forward, assisted by practical legal solutions.
