Not every divorce needs a courtroom.

The fear most people bring in the door is the same one: that this is going to get ugly, drag on, and cost a fortune.

Collaborative law was built to prevent exactly that. Both sides stay at the table, keep control of the outcome, and keep their private business out of public records.
It doesn't fit every situation. It fits more of them than people expect.

Many parents walk into a custody case braced for a fight over who wins.

That is usually not how Pennsylvania approaches it. Courts generally protect a child's best interests by allowing both parents to share in and contribute to their children's lives. Shared custody and generous visitation are often where the conversation begins.

What that means for you:

• Coming in swinging is not always the smart opening move
• Negotiation and compromise can save real money and real time
• Court is still there if the other parent will not budge, or is not fit to parent

We have handled hundreds of custody and visitation disputes. A majority were resolved out of court, which kept our clients in control of the process.

Not sure where you stand? Call (717) 591-1755.

New month. Buses are running again, calendars are filling up, and the year suddenly feels like it has a deadline attached to it.

September is when a lot of families finally deal with what they have been putting off since spring. That is normal. Summer has a way of pushing the hard conversations to one side.

If this is the month you start sorting something out, here is what our door looks like:

• Camp Hill office, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM
• Virtual meetings by video conference if getting here is the hard part
• Serving Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and York counties

Sometimes one honest conversation is enough to know what you are actually dealing with.
Call (717) 591-1755.
