Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I be legally separated from my partner in Lionville?

No, Pennsylvania has no legal status for separated but still married couples. You must divorce your partner for your separation to be enforceable by law.

When does a parent’s legal duty to pay for child support end?

Your legal duty to pay for child support ends when your children reach 18 years of age. However, if they reach 18 in their senior year, you must pay child support until they graduate.

How is property divided in case of a divorce in Chester county?

Pennsylvania is an equitable distribution state, so it divides property in a “fair” manner. That means both spouses may not get the same amount of property.

How do I modify a custody order in Pennsylvania?

To modify a court order in Pennsylvania, file a petition for its modification. The Petrelli Previtera, LLC attorneys can help you create an effective petition and present it to the right court.

Is there a difference in resolving family law issues in a same-sex marriage?

No, there isn’t. Same-sex marriages in Pennsylvania are handled like opposite-sex marriages. They have the same rights and obligations.
