Ephrata, Pennsylvania, Marital Separation Lawyer

Make a Plan ... Not a Mistake!

Ending a marriage is often one of the most difficult, and perilous, decisions a person may have to face. A separation or divorce can become a virtual jungle filled with traps, pitfalls and legal wolves waiting for you to wander off the safe path. To protect your financial and emotional wellbeing, you need to find a knowledgeable attorney to help you make a plan and implement it.

Decisions need to be made in advance about: how to make a separation economically viable; how much spousal and child support will be received or have to be paid, who should leave the marital home; how to obtain the best custody arrangement for both the children and the client; what to do about joint finances, investments and/or debts; and what information will be needed if litigation becomes necessary. A mistake with any of these issues can cripple your financial future and that of your children.

To discuss your issues with me in person, contact me today and schedule an appointment.

36 Years of Marital Separation Experience in Pennsylvania

Thirty-six years of legal experience, along with hundreds of family law cases, have given me the knowledge to help you decide that if separation is appropriate when and how it should happen. The many people whom I have helped through all kinds of marital difficulties have provided me with an awareness of the emotional as well as the practical and legal needs of a separating spouse and the children. I won't push a client into a situation that will necessarily lead to a court battle, but I will provide the information and options to allow a client to make that decision if they so choose.

Do You Need a Velvet Touch or an Iron Fist?

In some cases an aggressive approach is necessary or even desirable. Often, however, a good plan and good counseling can help a separating spouse avoid the pain, stress, anger and expense that can follow hasty or ill-considered decisions. One of the most important things I have learned during my decades of practice is how to tell which situation can benefit from a velvet touch, and which requires an iron fist.
