Pittsburgh Custody Lawyers.

Our lawyers can assist you with every type of custody
claim. We have represented a parents, grandparents and
others in custody matters throughout Western
Pennsylvania. We handle claims for total custody, partial
custody and/or visitation only filed in Pennsylvania and
also interstate claims. Our lawyers also handle
emergency claims for custody. If, for example, you have
no order concerning custody, either parent may take the
child anywere in the United States without the other
parents' permission. You may need an emergency
custody order if there is a real threat of your child
leaving the jurisdiction. Our firm handles those types of
motions.

We also attend custody conferences and proceedings
before hearing officers and judges and/or custody trials.
Our attorneys also handle appeals to custody
resolutions. Further, in the context of a custody
determination, we also handle other matters that may
surface, such as Protection from Abuse Hearings (PFA)
that take place while child support issues remain
ongoing. We negotiate with other lawyers to resolve the
matter most efficiently and beneficial to you, your child
or children. Our attorneys always try to negotiate with
the other lawyer or lawyers involved in the case. Call us
to speak with experienced family law attorneys on this
matter.

Claims by Grandparents.

Each Pittsburgh lawyer in our firm can analyze your case
to evaluate whether a grandparent has standing to seek
full, temporary, or partial custody. In many cases, a
grandparent will
lack standing for lack of having served
as the primary care giver for the sufficient lenght of
time. In addition, there are various other requirements
that must be met for grandparent (or other family
member) standing. We evaluate the basis for standing for
a grandparent or other family member and we handle
representation of grandparents and other family members
at conferences, hearings, and trials. As always, our
attorneys try to negotiate with the litigant or lawyer on
the other side of the case to bring about the most
reasonable resolution of every case. We handle these
issues throughout Allegheny County (including
Pittsburgh). Call us to speak with experienced family law
attorneys on this matter.
