Pittsburgh Divorce Attorney for Men

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 Pittsburgh – 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.
