King Spry

Family Law is continually changing, ever more complex and almost always emotional.

KingSpry’s Family Law Practice Group specializes in guiding clients through a variety of family law issues, such as divorce and child custody arrangements. We understand how to best position our clients for their future. Our focus is on our client’s needs and we work toward solutions and resolution by negotiation, if possible, and litigation, if necessary. We can also recommend other professionals to provide counseling, financial planning, valuation of assets and other services.

Firm attorneys have represented clients before Masters and Judges in Northampton, Lehigh, Carbon, and Monroe counties and through the appellate courts. We often represent professionals and business owners or their spouses in complex matrimonial cases. Firm attorneys are prepared to advocate on behalf of their clients in a variety of arenas: in the courtroom, in mediation, or in private settlement meetings.

Family Law Practice Services Include:

Divorce

Since divorce can often be confusing and unsettling, KingSpry’s experienced family law attorneys can help navigate the division of marital property, spousal support, and resolve issues pertaining to child custody.

Custody

KingSpry is experienced in handling diverse custody issues for married and non-married couples and handle grandparent and third party custody/visitation issues. We can also provide court representation in the event that an agreement is not reached.

Child Support

When married or non-married couples divorce or separate, the non-custodial parent must pay child support to the custodial parent. We are skilled in calculating support obligations and drafting agreements tailored to the specific situation. We also provide court representation in the event that an agreement is not reached.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Before or after couples enter into marriage, we help them to create agreements that define property and support rights in the event a divorce should occur.

Property Settlement Agreements

After a divorce proceeding is initiated, we can help couples address the distribution of their marital assets and debts, as well as define the support rights and obligations of both parties.

Adoptions

Adoption is a legal process involving the voluntary or involuntary termination of the rights and duties of the biological parents and the assumption of these rights and duties by the adopting parents. KingSpry’s experienced family law attorneys guide biological or adopting parents through this process.

Non-Traditional Families

There are very few precedents in the area of family law that address the rights of lesbian, gay, and transgender clients and their families. We can navigate non-traditional families through the local judicial system. We provide representation encompassing co-habitation agreements, partition actions and second parent adoptions specifically tailored to each case’s unique set of circumstances.

Protection From Abuse (PFA) Orders

PFAs provide relief in potential emergency situations. We represent individuals during court proceedings involving allegations of abuse. We can also assist in negotiating a resolution with regard to the allegations.

Other Family Matters

• civil unions

• name changes for divorce, adoption or personal reasons

• assisted reproductive issues

• representation of those in the military who face unique challenges in the family court system.
