Law Offices of Barbara Flum Stein Associates

Divorce
For help with the property division in your Pennsylvania divorce, call Media property division lawyer Barbara Flum Stein & Associates at 610-565-6100. We have over 30 years of experience handling contested divorce matters in Delaware County.
Child Support
Of all the issues to be decided in a Pennsylvania divorce, child support should be the most straightforward and least contentious, since Pennsylvania law provides statutory guidelines for family law judges to use in calculating the amount of child support to be paid. Still, there are many difficulties and complications that can arise, leading one party to feel that child support is not being calculated fairly. In contentious cases, Media child support lawyer Barbara Flum Stein provides advice and representation based on over 30 years handling Pennsylvania divorce cases. Barbara Flum Stein & Associates can help make sure your children are fairly and adequately supported financially, whether you are the parent paying or receiving child support for your kids.
Child Custody and Visitation
When a couple choosing to end their marriage have children to consider, the issue of child custody is often the most important, most emotional, and most contentious aspect of the divorce. When the parents can’t agree, the judge decides how much time the children spend with each parent, or whether one parent should have sole custody over the children. At Barbara Flum Stein & Associates, our Media child custody lawyer excels in dealing with high-conflict, emotional and difficult child custody cases, including cases which most often require litigation to resolve. Read more below about important aspects of Pennsylvania child custody law, and contact Barbara Flum Stein in Media for assertive and effective representation in Delaware County divorce and child custody matters.
Adoption
An important decision after a remarriage is whether the stepfather should take the formal step to legally adopt any children from the wife’s previous marriage. Adopting your wife’s children can have several benefits to them, including creating a legal right to financial support during your lifetime as well as inheritance rights after you are gone, and access to health insurance through your employer. A formal adoption can also help form and strengthen emotional bonds and family relationships for everyone. Careful consideration must be given, however, to the rights and interests of the child’s natural father, who may object to the adoption. In such a case, legal grounds for adoption must be proven in a courtroom hearing, which can be fraught with high emotion and conflict. Media family law attorney Barbara Flum Stein is an experienced courtroom litigator who fights hard for the rights of her clients in Pennsylvania courts in contested stepparent adoptions or other family law matters.
Premarital Agreement
Unless there is a property settlement agreement or a prenuptial agreement which governs the division of property in a divorce, the judge is required to make an “equitable distribution” of the marital property, which includes assets and debts acquired by either party during marriage. “Equitable” does not mean “equal,” but it does mean “fair.” Although an equal division of property is generally considered fair, it isn’t always possible. Also, there are many factors which can lead the court to decide that an unequal distribution is nevertheless equitable. Many of these factors are similar to the factors used by the judge in determining spousal support and alimony, except that marital misconduct is not a factor in the division of property. Factors considered by the court in making an equitable distribution of marital property include...
Spousal Support
A Pennsylvania divorce judge can order you or your spouse to pay alimony or spousal support to the other spouse before, during or after the divorce. It is important to understand that alimony and spousal support are not automatically ordered in every divorce. One spouse must first petition the court for alimony or spousal support, and this petition may be opposed by the other spouse. If the parties don’t agree, the judge will hold a hearing to decide whether alimony is appropriate, which type should be ordered, how much and for how long.
