Our dedicated team of Newton divorce lawyers have over 65 years’ worth of combined experience providing exceptional legal advice throughout Newtown and Pennsylvania, including with respect to:
- Alimony and spousal support. As of January 1, 2019, federal tax laws regarding the tax treatment of alimony payments have changed—under the new rules, alimony payments are taxed to the spouse who makes the payments, and are excluded from the income of the spouse who receives the payments. This is significant, as alimony payors were permitted to deduct the cost of alimony payments under prior law, while those payments were included in the income of the recipient (and, thus, usually taxed at a lower tax rate). Our lawyers understand these new rules, and how they can impact our clients going forward.
- Child custody issues. Child custody is often one of the more difficult aspects of any divorce, and our experienced family lawyers will work to obtain the most advantageous arrangement possible, taking your lifestyle, goals, and relationship with your former spouse into consideration.
- Child support arrangements. Each parent has the responsibility for financially supporting his or her children. Our divorce lawyers will fight to make sure every child is adequately supported, and can also help with enforcement of child support arrangements, and later modifications of support orders if necessary.
- Equitable division of assets and liabilities. During marriage, any property acquired by you or your spouse is considered to be marital property and must be divided equitably in a divorce. This rule applies equally to debts and other liabilities. Assets that must be divided commonly include any real estate, furniture, artwork, business interests, investments, retirement accounts, stock options, deferred compensation arrangements, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce
Yes. Property that you acquired prior to the marriage is considered separate property, and certain inheritances and gifts may be considered separate property. In cases where a prenuptial agreement was executed, the prenuptial agreement may control division of the assets. Call our Newtown divorce lawyers if you have questions about any particular asset, or how it can be established that an asset is your own separate property.
Many divorcing couples prefer mediation because it encourages communication between the spouses in a controlled environment, where a neutral third party can provide rationale alternative solutions to potentially contentious problems. The results of mediation are not binding, but the advice of the neutral third party often helps each spouse more fully understand the position of their former partner. Whether mediation is right for you depends upon your personal preferences, and can be used to resolve your divorce comprehensively, or can be used to resolve only more difficult issues if you prefer.
