Frequently Asked Questions
In Pennsylvania, an uncontested divorce can be finalized in as few as 90 days after filing. Contested divorces with disputes over property, custody, or support may take significantly longer depending on the complexity of the issues and the court schedule in Schuylkill County.
While not legally required, having an attorney review your divorce agreement helps ensure your rights are protected and that the terms are fair. Many seemingly simple divorces involve complex issues like retirement asset division or tax implications that benefit from legal guidance.
Pennsylvania follows equitable distribution, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily 50/50. The court considers factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's income and earning potential, and contributions to marital property.
