Family Law

Have Experienced Attorneys Today!

At Gaydos Law, P.C., we feel it is critical for our clients to have reasonable expectations as to both the financial and emotional costs involved in litigation, as well as their likelihood for success. We take the time to narrow the issues and provide analysis that often saves many headaches down the road.


Our team understands that every case is unique, and not everyone will be able to reach a successful settlement outside of the courtroom. At times, litigation is absolutely necessary, and we have represented countless clients in highly contested custody and divorce litigation throughout Allegheny, Butler, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland counties.

Our courtroom experience extends to matters including, but not limited to: alimony and support issues; UIFSA and URESA matters; divorce, including fault grounds; equitable distribution; custody and relocation; grandparents' rights; adoption and termination of parental rights hearings; challenges to paternity; and protection from abuse (PFA).


We also regularly assist clients with transactional work, including the preparation of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, qualified domestic relations orders, and custody consent orders. One of our goals is to provide guidance and planning advice for individuals who feel lost and uncertain with what to expect in an often contentious environment.

Should You Sign A Prenuptial Agreement Before You Get Married?

At Gaydos Law, P.C. we also help engaged couples draw up prenuptial agreements. Not sure if you should get a prenup? Here are a few reasons to consider it:

 

  • 50% of all marriages end in divorce. It’s not fun or romantic to think about when you’re getting married, but it’s a good idea to protect yourself financially just in case things aren’t always so blissful.
  • Without a prenup, divorce can be incredibly expensive. It’s not uncommon for people to go into debt while trying to get divorced.
  • If you don’t have a prenup, your divorce proceedings could go on for years.

 

Avoid future issues, know where you stand, call today for peace of mind! Call 412-678-7900 to speak with a family attorney in about drawing up your prenuptial agreement.
