Frequently Asked Questions
What factors does a Pennsylvania court consider for child custody?
Pennsylvania courts consider 16 factors under 23 Pa.C.S. Section 5328 to determine the best interests of the child. These factors include the childs relationship with each parent, the parents ability to provide for the childs needs, and any history of abuse. The court does not give preference to either parent based on gender.
How long does a divorce take in Pennsylvania?
An uncontested divorce in Pennsylvania can be finalized in as little as 90 days after the complaint is filed. A contested divorce may take much longer, often 12 to 18 months or more, depending on the complexity of issues like property division or custody. The 90-day waiting period is required by law.
What is the process for filing for child support in Boothwyn?
You can file for child support through the Delaware County Domestic Relations Section. The court uses Pennsylvania support guidelines to calculate payments based on both parents incomes and the number of children. A hearing may be scheduled if the parents cannot agree on an amount.
