What Is A Wife Entitled To In A Divorce In Beaver County?

Fathers’ Rights – Advocating for Dads

Even with strides in equality, it cannot be denied that some courts still have prejudices against dads when it comes to child custody. While usually, the courts will administer fair custody arrangements between both parents, it isn’t wise to leave this matter to chance. We advocate for dads. In Pennsylvania, paternity can be established by unwed parents who both agree as to who the father is by signing a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity. This gives both father and child the same rights and responsibilities as a married father would have with the child. Your time with your child(ren) is IMPORTANT. We respect that and will do everything we can to make sure the courts respect that too.

**Don’t wait too long to establish your paternal rights. If the birth mother and child live in a positive home with a third party, and/or the birth mother marries, you will need a fathers’ rights attorney, as it will become harder to gain legal and physical custody rights to your child.**

Aspects Of Divorce We Help Men With

Physical Custody – If you are not granted custody of your children, you can ask the court to modify the custody arrangement. PA law requires that the court presume that both parents are equally fit to be the custodial parent. In most cases, the court will grant joint custody to both parents. However, if one parent is deemed unfit or if there is a history of domestic violence, the court may grant sole custody to the other parent.

Visitation – Fathers also have the right to seek reasonable visitation rights. You can ask the court to grant you visitation rights if you are not granted the same level of access to your children as the mother is. You can also ask the court to grant you more visitation time than the mother is granting you.

Legal Custody – The court will also assume that both parents are equally fit to make decisions regarding the upbringing of their children. This means that both parents will have input in decisions such as the child’s education, medical care, and religious upbringing. However, if the court finds that one parent is unfit, he or she will be stripped of this right.

Divorce and Retaliation – Sometimes an ex-spouse will feel scorned that the marriage is ending. Whether they don’t want the marriage to end, or feel as though they are losing their lifestyle, some spouses will stoop low to ensure you are as miserable as they are. While the court frowns upon this practice, that doesn’t prevent it from happening, especially disproportionately to men. Sometimes retaliation can happen in the form of false allegations of violent or sexual misconduct. Our Family law attorneys have seen this practice and will fight to keep your name clear.

This is especially important with the passing of Kayden’s Law. Our Family Law Attorneys will review your case and defend you in the event of false accusations or retaliatory Protection From Abuse filings.

Equitable Distribution in Beaver County – As an “equitable distribution” state, courts try to divide marital property fairly and evenly. That being said, men are traditionally seen as providers and are often the “sole earners” of the household. This can be detrimental in the case of Alimony or Spousal Support, Child Support, and further distribution of property. Our Attorneys in Men’s Divorce will help us ensure that you and your assets are treated fairly.
