Understanding Your Legal Rights
Divorce law in Pennsylvania grants certain rights to individuals going through the dissolution of marriage. It is essential to have a clear understanding of these rights to protect your interests and achieve a fair outcome.
Grounds for Divorce
Pennsylvania recognizes both fault-based and no-fault grounds for divorce. Fault-based grounds include adultery, abandonment, imprisonment, and cruel and barbarous treatment. No-fault divorce can be obtained when irretrievable breakdown of the marriage is claimed by one or both parties.
Division of Marital Property
Pennsylvania follows the equitable distribution approach when it comes to dividing marital property. It is crucial to understand the factors that influence property division, such as the duration of the marriage, each spouse's contributions, and the economic circumstances of both parties.
Child Custody and Support
Child custody and support arrangements are some of the most critical aspects of divorce cases involving children. Pennsylvania courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody and visitation schedules, taking into account factors such as the child's age, health, and relationships with each parent.
