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

Most marital partnerships will have to undergo the legal process of dividing marital properties, assets, and debts before the divorce decree can be granted. If the marriage was entered into with a prenuptial agreement, then this phase may be significantly shortened. However, the passage of time and/or the changing of circumstances will warrant that any prenup be carefully reviewed during your divorce. The normal accumulation of property, other assets, and debts during a marriage requires the legal principle of “equitable distribution” to be applied under PA law before a divorce is finalized. We fight for what is fair and best for you.

Financial Contribution to a Marriage

More and more often, women are becoming sole earners and primary providers for their families. While this is an overall positive for women everywhere, this can make Alimony, Child Support, and financial distribution harsher during a divorce. On the other hand, if you were a housewife during the marriage, your financial contribution to the marital property can also be leveraged against you. We here at Tibbott & Richardson understand the trials that a woman can face in divorce.

Protecting Your Assets With Precision

In PA, the division of community property during a divorce is a major concern. It means that a lot is at stake.

Our divorce attorneys navigate these waters with meticulous attention to detail, working to ensure that the court divides them fairly. We frequently help our clients divide complex assets such as real property, retirement assets, and business assets.

Our approach combines a thorough understanding of PA property division laws with a strategic plan tailored to your unique circumstances. You can trust us to advocate for your financial interests with the same care as if they were our own.

Partner Abandonment

A sad truth in divorce is that sometimes, even though your spouse was supposed to be with you in sickness and in health, a life-altering medical diagnosis leaves many spouses navigating their medical issues AND a divorce. Unfortunately, studies show women are 60% more likely to face partner abandonment in the face of an adverse medical diagnosis. We will be here when you need us most, and fight for what is right for you and your family.

Alimony Pendente Lite: Getting Temporary Income During Divorce

If you are worried about getting finances during the divorce, you may be awarded an APL order, as well as have your legal divorce fees ordered paid by your spouse.

Dividing marital assets and debts also creates difficulty and uncertainty during the divorce process. The stress of uncertainty while a divorce is pending can be heightened when one spouse earns significantly more income than the other.

In this case, there may be an income-dependent spouse who can petition the court for alimony pendente lite. Pendente lite is Latin for “pending litigation.”
