Child Custody and Criminal Charges
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.
Why Child Custody Orders Are Important
Child custody orders are important even for parents who mostly get along. They are essential for parents who don’t.
Child custody orders typically include the schedules for when each parent will have the children, including during summers and holidays.
For high-conflict cases, it is often important to have detailed orders that govern everything from custody exchange locations to vacations and modes of communication.
But even parents who typically communicate well benefit from orders that lay out expectations when conflict arises.
Parents are always able to deviate from the orders so long as they both agree.
Spivak Law Firm handles all family law matters, including: child custody, child support, divorce, and Protection From Abuse (PFA).
