Divorce

A divorce is one of the most difficult experiences in a person’s life. Although no one enters a marriage anticipating it will end in divorce, situations change and couples grow apart. While divorce may be the best option, it can still be an overwhelming process. Divorce becomes even more complex when children are involved or when the marriage involves high income or valuable assets. In a divorce proceeding, spouses tend to have different ideas regarding alimony, alimony pendente lite (“APL”)/spousal support, child support, child custody, and how to fairly allocate their assets and liabilities. When contemplating filing for divorce, it is essential to obtain competent and experienced legal representation.

For decades, families have relied on our professional, effective, and vigorous legal representation during divorce proceedings.

Divorce, or even separation, is often an intricate process consisting of numerous legal issues that must be resolved. At Sweeney & Neary LLP, we are able to help you address and resolve many divorce concerns, including:

Our lawyers work with each client to define his/her goals and consider any potential obstacles in getting exactly what you are entitled to pursuant to Pennsylvania law. We address potential concerns such as parental rights, custody, asset protection and distribution of marital property. Attorneys at our firm also have strong working relationships with experts throughout the greater Philadelphia-area including psychiatrists, psychologists, financial planners and forensic accountants.

We realize that divorce is a stressful process.

We work with each of our clients to determine the most efficient and effective divorce method for them.
