Divorce
Divorce and separation. The county where someone lives, and whether a case is already filed, decide the referral.
Tell us about your caseNo-fault, property, and support
People search how long a Pennsylvania divorce takes, whether they need a reason, and what happens to the house. Pennsylvania divorces proceed on an irretrievable breakdown. Equitable distribution is the search for property. It is not an automatic half. Alimony is a separate search from child support.
The county where someone lives, and whether a complaint is already filed, decide the referral. A business, a pension, or a house in two names should be mentioned in one line.

Custody and support often run at the same time. A protection order can be open too. Name each one that already has a date.
Nothing on this page is a prediction of what a case is worth, and it is not legal advice. A message asks the desk to review the facts and refer them.
What to send
Divorce and separation. The county where someone lives, and whether a case is already filed, decide the referral.
The useful first facts are the place, the date, the court if there is one, and what happened. Records can wait until a lawyer asks for them.
How a referral works
A message asks the desk to read the facts and refer them to a lawyer who handles this work. It does not hire that lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
The lawyer who receives the introduction decides whether to take the matter and talks with you about deadlines and fees.
