Child Support
Under Pennsylvania law, determination of child support is related to issues such as the income of both parents, whether they are employed or unemployed, the time the children spend with each parent, child care costs, the mortgage payment, your child's healthcare needs, and special needs such as private schooling. We help parents understand Pennsylvania child support guidelines and can help you assess what you may owe or receive.

As a small firm, we work individually with each client to help them reach child support solutions that are a good fit for their family.

Spousal Support
Am I entitled to alimony? How much might I owe? At Meyers, Desfor, Saltzgiver & Boyle, we are experienced attorneys who can help you determine how you may be affected by Pennsylvania spousal support laws. We tailor our approach to meet your needs. Sometimes a spouses' right to support is contested by the other spouse. Other times, there are disputes about how much support should be awarded. Although we handle cases of all sizes, we are experienced with helping high-income couples with complex assets. We have extensive knowledge of the complicated issues in spousal support cases, including analyzing the tax consequences of your actions.
Our lawyers can help you regardless of your situation: whether you are a non-working, dependent spouse or have been the income provider for your family. We are knowledgeable about alimony pendente lite (APL). This form of temporary support order is designed to offer support while a divorce is pending.
