Pennsylvania courts may order one parent to pay child support to the other in order to ensure that both parents are providing for their children financially. I can help you pursue a fair custody arrangement that is in the best interests of your child and protects your right to maintain a healthy parent-child relationship. Child custody cases in the state of Pennsylvania are always settled based on the best interests of the child. The court may also decide to allow parents to share custody. Pennsylvania courts may award sole custody to one parent, or they may award primary custody to one parent and partial custody to the other. Legal custody provides parents with the right to make decisions on behalf of the child, while physical custody determines where the child lives. Pennsylvania recognizes two types of child custody: legal custody and physical custody. When a child’s parents don’t live in the same house, child custody orders set clear boundaries and protect the child’s wellbeing.
