Child Custody - Pittsburgh Lawyer for custody for parent, grandparent, child custody lawyer, beaver county attorney, beaver county lawyer for custody

Get Tough About Visitation
It is true that a custody order is "always" modifiable,
however, the courts will hold you to the goals you
exihibit early on, i.e, the courts try to preseve the
"status quo." If, for example, you informally agree to a
reduced custody role and you accept that role for a
period of time, the courts will see that as the "status
quo" and you may not be put on track to receive an
expanding custodial role in the years to come. You only
get one chance to make a great first impression with
the courts. You need to get aggressive early on to
establish your credibility and communicate your goals of
an expanded role in custody in Pittsburgh, PA and
surrounding areas.

The Claims We Handle.
CLAIMS BY PARENTS. Our lawyers represent parents
during claims for custody. We handle claims for total
custody, partial custody and/or visitation only filed in
Pennsylvania and also interstate claims. 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 also help with PFA
appeals. We negotiate with other lawyers to resolve the
matter most efficiently. 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.

GRANDPARENT CUSTODY RIGHTS. Our attorneys analyze
issues concerning claims for custody by grandparents
and other family members. 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 Todd Elliott and David Hanna will
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), Beaver County,
and Washington Counties. Call us to speak with
experienced family law attorneys on this matter.
