Pennsylvania Child Custody

The guiding principle in any Pennsylvania child custody case is the best interest of your children. Our lawyers understand what it takes for you to get custody of a child in Pennsylvania, and what must be proven in order to share custody in a way that's most healthy healthy for each child.

The attorneys of Jaffe & Kecskemethy, P.C. understand that when it comes to the needs of your children, compromise most often brings about the most productive and least damaging result for them. We know that separated and divorced parents can raise perfectly healthy children.  We can help you carefully weigh your children's needs and reach the best possible arrangement, while avoiding painful and damaging court litigation. Often times, these arrangements will include family centered counseling, or creative custody arrangements that are tailored to fit your family's needs. Our lawyers are experienced in dealing with issues such as:

• Special needs children
• School district considerations
• Problems associated with parental substance abuse
• Unique issues relating to family relocation

When agreement is simply not possible, Pennsylvania child custody litigation encompasses the most important personal and strategic considerations of any type of family court case. Each strategic decision in a hotly contested custody can have significant collateral consequences for your children, and potentially increase animosity between you and your divorcing spouse. Our lawyers can help you navigate these pitfalls from initial Custody Complaint through conciliation and trial, while at the same time, serving your overall custody goal.
