Can both parties use the same lawyer in a Pennsylvania family court matter?
No. A Pennsylvania family law and divorce attorney can represent only one party or spouse in a contested family law or divorce case. Sometimes, the parties decide that only one of them will retain an attorney. In this situation, the Pennsylvania family law lawyer prepares any paperwork or agreements on behalf of the client who hired the lawyer and any only gives advice to that client that has retained the attorney’s services. The lawyer’s client is the only party represented in this situation. Our office represents individuals in divorce, equitable distribution, child custody, child and spousal support, alimony, paternity, protection from abuse, juvenile law, adoption, and related family law matters in Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Bucks, and Berks counties. Our law firm conducts appointments in our Radnor office. However, in some circumstances, telephone appointments and other off site meeting places may be available.
