Family law matters are some of the most complex and emotional legal issues you can face. These often contentious disputes involve a unique blend of legal and personal issues, including financial support, parental rights, property division and domestic violence. The family court attorneys at Johnson Duffie bring the perfect blend of compassion and competence for personalized legal strategies that are both effective and efficient.
We provide legal guidance and services in every area of family law, including but not limited to the following.
Our family attorneys are experienced in representing clients in divorce matters, from the initial filing of a divorce complaint through the finalization of the divorce and beyond. Whether “simple” no-fault divorce with no assets to divide or more complicated processes with multiple claims involved, such as equitable distribution or alimony, our firm is adept at handling all forms of divorce proceedings. Our attorneys will provide diligent, zealous representation from the inception through the conclusion of your case.
Cases involving child custody are deeply personal and sometimes distressing for clients. Whether you are seeking representation to prepare a custody agreement with an amicable ex-spouse or partner or you face a more complicated situation that the Court will ultimately need to help you resolve, our child custody attorneys in Harrisburg, PA, are experienced in navigating the system and advising you on child custody. Whether we reach an agreement through mediation or in the courtroom, we are prepared to help you achieve the outcome you desire.
Both spousal support and child support are financial obligations that may arise during a divorce or separation. Our attorneys are experienced in representing clients in support matters before Domestic Relations, county courts and the Superior Court. Whether you are filing for support or you are paying support, our expert guidance can help you navigate the system.
Whether you are contemplating marriage or you are already married, our family court lawyers in Harrisburg can assist you in drafting an agreement outlining how your assets and debts would be divided in the event of a divorce. Pre- and post-nuptial agreements can give parties peace of mind and save a lot of time and money spent fighting over financial matters in the event of a future separation.
In Pennsylvania, individuals can file a Protection from Abuse if they believe they or their child is experiencing physical or psychological harm from an intimate partner, family member or someone in their household. Our attorneys represent both plaintiffs who have filed for a PFA on behalf of themselves or their minor children, as well as defendants in PFA actions. Depending on your individual circumstances, we can represent you in your PFA hearing before the Court or help you negotiate a settlement of the PFA matter with the other party.
A client may wish to change their name or their children’s names as a result of divorce or adoption — along with many other valid reasons to change a name. Our attorneys can assist you in both adult and juvenile name changes. Whether contested, such as cases involving a child’s other parent, or uncontested, we can guide you through the name change process with proactive legal counsel.
Our family law attorneys can represent you through the process of filing for adoption. This process may involve many steps, such as gathering necessary paperwork and clearances, and preparing for and participating in hearings before the Court. We have extensive experience in private adoptions, often involving step-parents or grandparents. Adoptions may also involve requesting that the Court terminate a parent’s rights, whether voluntarily or involuntarily — especially in step-parent adoption cases.
