Legal Separation

Divorce and Legal Separation in Bucks County

Montgomery County · Philadelphia County

Pennsylvania state law provides husbands and wives with the right to file for a no fault divorce. However, if either spouse opposes the divorce, the spouse seeking the divorce must wait two years from the time of the couple’s separation to obtain a no fault divorce.

If you are getting a divorce in the state of Pennsylvania, it is important to keep records or evidence of any kind that may prove the date of your separation. If your divorce is contested, the date of your legal separation may become an important issue in negotiations or at trial.

If you need to speak with an attorney about your rights and responsibilities in a divorce, we can help. For a free consultation with a divorce lawyer, contact Zlock & Snyder, P.C. in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.

Protect Your Financial Rights

The date you separate from your spouse is also critical to the division of marital assets and debts. Money you earn and assets you acquire after the date of your separation may be awarded to you. The debts you acquire on your behalf after a separation may also be your responsibility. There are exceptions and the facts of your case will dictate the final result of your case. Consulting with an attorney who can review your case is the best way to protect your rights.
