Tough, Aggressive Representation with 24-Hour Emergency Consultation

The Law Office of Douglas P. Earl, PC, provides advice to parents and spouses in family matters requiring financial support agreements. Our Philadelphia family law practice helps people make informed decisions in child support and spousal support cases.

Does your household require additional income as a result of family separation?

The State of Pennsylvania recognizes the financial need of families separated by divorce. The Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines assist the court in determining support payments. This amount can vary greatly. Our Pennsylvania child support lawyer at the Law Office of Douglas P. Earl, PC, represents your interests and works to assure that the support agreement is reasonable and provides for all parties.

Child Support

Our Pennsylvania child support attorney negotiates agreements or fights for you in court. Factors that are considered are:

  • Income of the non-custodial parent
  • Daycare costs
  • School costs – private school tuition
  • Dentistry expenses
  • Medical expenses not reimbursed

Spousal Support

At the Law Office of Douglas P. Earl, PC, we also advocate for the financial needs of spouses during and after the divorce process. Spousal support, also known as maintenance or alimony, can be a temporary or permanent arrangement. It can be awarded in a lump sum. It is frequently considered a rehabilitative solution, employed until the spouse becomes self-supporting.
