Shared Custody

Shared Custody in Philadelphia PA

In the past, courts have been reluctant to grant equally-shared physical custody of a child in an effort to provide a more constant, regular home life for minor children. However West Chester Pa Custody lawyer has been successful in pursuing Shared Custody in light of the realities of modern families in which both parents may be working outside the home. Learn more about shared custody in West Chester PA and throughout Philadelphia by contacting attorney Joshua Janis. 

A Custody Court will look at a number of factors to make their decision, based both on the Divorce Code (at 23 Pa.C.S.A. §5303)  and Pennsylvania Case Law.   Those factors all reflect that the Judge’s decision highlights the child-centered inquiry, as opposed to fairness to the parents for custody time. As each custody case is judged on its own set of facts, it is vital to give a court the specific facts of each situation in the context of what is best for the children.  Please call Ciccarelli Lawyers today to set up a consultation where we can evaluate your case.
