• Divorce and marital separation: Navigating contested and uncontested divorce proceedings under Pennsylvania law, identifying marital liabilities, and working toward equitable solutions that safeguard financial security.
• Equitable division of assets: Analyzing real property, retirement plans, business valuations, and personal property to achieve fair property distribution without unnecessary trial expenses.
• Child custody and parenting plans: Formulating child-focused custody schedules, holiday rotations, legal decision-making authority agreements, and parenting arrangements that protect the best interests of the children.
• Child support and spousal support: Calculating accurate support obligations pursuant to Pennsylvania support guidelines, handling support conferences, and pursuing modifications when income or custody arrangements change.
• Alimony and spousal maintenance: Evaluating post-divorce economic needs and earning capacities to negotiate fair temporary or rehabilitative alimony agreements.
• Qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs): Drafting precise retirement division orders to divide 401(k) accounts, pensions, and deferred compensation plans without triggering early withdrawal penalties or unintended tax consequences.
• Prenuptial and marital agreements: Formulating comprehensive premarital agreements that clearly delineate separate property, protect inheritance expectations, and eliminate future financial conflict.

Transparent Communication and Amicable Dispute Resolution

Attorney Stacey Baltz believes that the most durable and cost-effective family law solutions are achieved when parties approach disputes with integrity and reasonable expectations.
