DIVORCE

Going through a divorce is never easy, but our goal is to simplify the process and advocate for your rights at every step. At M.L. Martin & Furnace, LLC, we offer a wide range of divorce services to meet your unique needs, including:

• Contested Divorce: When spouses disagree on critical issues such as asset division, child custody, or alimony, a contested divorce can arise. Our attorneys are skilled in litigation and negotiation to secure the best results for you.
• Uncontested Divorce: If both parties can agree on the terms of the divorce, we will ensure that the process moves quickly and smoothly, minimizing stress and legal costs.
• Asset and Property Division: Pennsylvania is an equitable distribution state. We help ensure that your property and assets are divided fairly, taking into account your financial interests and future needs.
• Spousal Support & Alimony: We work to ensure that spousal support agreements are fair and reflect the financial circumstances of both parties, whether you are seeking support or are the party responsible for paying it.
• Child Custody and Support: Divorce often involves child custody and support arrangements. We focus on protecting your parental rights while ensuring your child’s best interests are met.

No matter how complex your divorce, our legal team is here to guide you with personalized attention and dedication.

The divorce process in Pennsylvania can be complex, with several key considerations:

• Grounds for Divorce: Pennsylvania allows both fault-based and no-fault divorces. In no-fault divorces, couples can file due to mutual consent or after a separation of at least one year. Fault-based divorces can include reasons such as adultery, abandonment, or cruelty.
• Equitable Distribution of Assets: Pennsylvania law divides marital property based on fairness, not necessarily equality. Factors such as length of marriage, contributions to marital assets, and future earning potential are considered when determining the division of property.
• Spousal Support, Alimony Pendente Lite (APL), and Alimony: Alimony may be awarded based on the need for financial support post-divorce, taking into account factors such as length of the marriage, income disparity, and age.

At M.L. Martin & Furnace, LLC, we ensure that you understand your legal rights and options every step of the way.
