How We Help Our Clients

At Petrelli Previtera, LLC, we provide comprehensive family law representation tailored to each client’s needs. Our attorneys handle a broad range of matters, including the following practice areas.

Divorce

Divorce often involves more than the end of a marriage. Most cases require resolving important issues such as child custody, child support, division of marital property and debts, and spousal support.

When spouses are able to reach agreements on these issues, they may pursue an uncontested divorce, which can reduce time, expense, and stress. When disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation, a contested divorce may require court involvement. In these situations, working with an experienced Pennsylvania divorce lawyer is critical to protecting your interests.

Child Custody

Child custody matters can be emotionally difficult for both parents and children. Pennsylvania courts base custody decisions on what is in the best interest of the child, considering a variety of statutory factors.

Our attorneys advocate for custody arrangements that protect your relationship with your child while addressing practical concerns such as schedules, schooling, and stability. We also assist grandparents seeking visitation in limited circumstances permitted under Pennsylvania law, including cases involving divorce or the death of a parent.

Spousal Support & Alimony

SSpousal support and alimony can play a significant role in divorce, particularly when there is a difference in income or earning capacity between spouses. Pennsylvania courts evaluate multiple factors, including the length of the marriage and each party’s financial circumstances.

Our attorneys help clients understand how support may be calculated, what to expect during the process, and how to pursue fair outcomes through negotiation or litigation when necessary.

Property Division

Pennsylvania follows equitable distribution when dividing marital property. This means assets are divided fairly, not automatically equally. Courts consider factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, income, health, age, standard of living, and any existing agreements.

We guide clients through identifying marital and nonmarital assets and work to protect their financial interests during property division.

Adoption

Our Pennsylvania family law attorneys guide individuals and couples through the adoption process. Whether you’re considering domestic, international, foster, or stepchild adoption, we’ll help you understand your options and the steps involved.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can provide clarity and protection for individuals entering or continuing a marriage. These agreements are especially important for blended families or those with significant assets.

Our attorneys help draft and review agreements that are enforceable under Pennsylvania law and tailored to your goals.

Estate Planning

Estate planning and family law often intersect. We assist families with drafting wills, creating trusts, and ensuring that loved ones are protected. For individuals going through a divorce, estate planning is an essential step to ensure that assets are properly distributed according to your wishes.
