Child Custody and Criminal Charges

Posted on December 17 2024 by Todd Spivak and Rebecca Canterbury

Don’t let criminal charges or a PFA Order stand in the way of filing for child custody.

Spivak Law Firm is one of the few law firms in Pittsburgh handling both family law and criminal defense matters.

Many of our clients face PFA actions or criminal charges such as assault or harassment.

Some even face criminal charges involving children, including: child abuse or endangering the welfare of a child.

The process for obtaining a child custody order can take up to a year or longer. We recommend against further delaying matters by waiting until your criminal charge is resolved.

In many cases, we are able to obtain custody orders while criminal charges are pending.

Spivak Law Firm provides strong, compassionate, cost-effective representation in all family law and criminal defense matters. Call us today at (412) 344-4900 or (800) 545-9390.

Benefits of Child Support Orders

Posted on December 17 2024 by Todd Spivak and Rebecca Canterbury

There are several benefits to receiving child support by court order.

The money will be garnished from the other parent’s paycheck and directly deposited into your account on the same dates each month.

Thus, you do not have to worry about when and how much money you will receive, and you can plan your monthly budget accordingly.

A support order will also determine each parent’s financial obligation for paying the child’s extra-curricular activity and unreimbursed medical expenses.

Spivak Law Firm handles all areas of family law, including: child custody, child support, divorce, and Protection From Abuse (PFA). To schedule a consultation, call us at (412) 344-4900 or toll free at (800) 545-9390.
