Pennsylvania Attorneys Working to Protect You and Your Children's Interests
When children are involved in family law issues, it is critical to come to an agreement that works best for both parents. At the Pittsburgh-area law offices of Brant & Associates, we encourage our clients to work things out amicably for the best interests of their children. However, when a spouse is not willing to be reasonable, we fight as hard as possible to protect our clients' interests and the interests of their children.
Protecting the Best Interests of Your Children
In Pennsylvania, child custody and visitation is determined according to the best interests of the child. There are many factors that courts consider when determining child custody in a divorce, including who the primary caretaker of the child has been and the importance of having both parents involved in the life of the child. The lawyers at Brant & Associates can help you with your child custody issues.
Establishing Alimony and Child Support
The Brant & Associates family law attorneys will work to ensure that your children are receiving the correct amount of support. Child support guidelines are used to determine the amount of child support to be paid. Guidelines generally take into account your income and the number of children in your family. While these guidelines may seem straightforward, the guidance of an experienced attorney is the best way to make sure they are applied correctly.
Modifying and Enforcing Existing Court Orders
On many occasions, a parent is directed to pay child support by the court, but fails to do so. If you are not receiving your child support payments in accordance with a properly executed court order, contact us regarding your rights.
We can also help you modify existing child custody and visitation orders. This is often necessary when children's needs change as they get older, when parents want more time with their children or when a parent decides to move away out of the state of Pennsylvania.
Modification of an existing child custody order may also be necessary when one parent is concerned about the others alcohol or drug use, or is concerned about the child's safety when with the other parent.
