Pittsburgh Divorce Lawyers Assisting Men
Pittsburgh Family Law Attorneys Representing the Interests of Men
Divorce is always a challenging process, but men often face unique financial and custody stressors further complicating matters.
Traditional gender roles once cast men as financial providers and women as caregivers. While societal expectations may have changed, men often are faced with paying spousal support, alimony and child support, which can significantly reduce income and impact standard of living, particularly for primary breadwinners. Men also may face lingering bias when it comes to reaching fair custody agreements with positive co-parenting scenarios.
Will I Be Responsible for Financially Supporting Two Households?
The equitable distribution process will divide assets among the parties in divorce based on a number of factors, including the parties’ incomes, custodial responsibilities and their ability to rebuild their assets and income in the future. Equitable distribution does not guarantee a 50/50 split of marital property but seeks to establish an equitable split based on the particulars of each case.
Each Pittsburgh divorce lawyer at Pollock Begg is comfortable using vocational experts to achieve an accurate depiction of earning capabilities on both sides of a case to protect your rights and pursue equitable division of assets and appropriate ongoing support measures.
How Can I Protect My Custody Rights?
Gone are the days when courts openly favored mothers in custody disputes. Mothers and fathers have equal claim to seek custody and visitation rights and help make decisions impacting the well-being of their children.
However, it is always advisable to have a skilled family law attorney representing your interests. Pollock Begg’s family law team is experienced in navigating custody cases through family court and will work to ensure the development of a fair custody order and parenting plan to protect your paternal rights.
