Getting a Divorce in Pennsylvania

The basic requirement for filing for divorce in Pennsylvania is that one spouse must have lived in the state for at least 6 months prior to filing. If you meet this residency requirement, a family lawyer can help you commence the divorce process by filing a complaint on one of three grounds:

  • mutual consent;
  • separation of 1 year or more; or
  • one spouse's fault (e.g., adultery).

Resolving Divorce and Family Law Issues

There are several ways to resolve disputes in a divorce or family law matter;

  • Negotiation: a series of discussions through which two parties work to reach agreement. It can be done with lawyers, without lawyers, or a hybrid (some issues with lawyers and some without).
  • Mediation: a series of meetings in which parties work with a neutral third party (mediator) to help them reach an agreement.
  • Collaborative Divorce: a process in which the parties and their lawyers work as a team using interest-based bargaining to negotiate the best possible outcome for all.
  • Arbitration: a hearing before an agreed upon neutral decision-maker (arbitrator) the parties hire to decide the legal issues in their case without trial.
  • Litigation: going to court.

Some matters you might expect to have to resolve include:
