The Charleston Firm
Support

______________________________________________

Protect your ability to provide for your self and your children

​There are three main types of support one can receive in Pennsylvania: Child Support, Spousal Support and/or Alimony. Support is never guaranteed and must be filed for through the proper channels.

Child Support: You may be entitled to child support if the other parent earns more money and/or you have primary physical custody of the children.

Spousal Support: You may be entitled to Spousal Support if your spouse earns more than you and/or the spouse left the marital residence without providing financial assistance. This Support is for the dependent spouse during the pending divorce.

Alimony: Alimony begins once the divorce is final and replaces Spousal Support. Not every dependent spouse is entitled to Alimony.
If you plan on filing for Child Support or Spousal Support, it is best to do so as quickly as possible.   Typically, the date you file will start the clock for when such support will start. Unfortunately, you will not be paid immediately, but at the time of the support conference, the other party may owe you Support dating back to when you filed the action.

If both parties agree on a number or wish to forego a Support Hearing, The Charleston Firm can run calculations and draw up the necessary paperwork, therefore negating the hassle of having to attend the hearing with your (ex) partner.

Consult with an attorney at The Charleston Firm today to learn more about your options.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“April has been wonderful to work with in obtaining my LLC.  She understands my line of  work and was very knowledgable in answering all my questions.  She guided me to make the right decisions for me and my my small business.  I also loved working with her because she has a great understanding and appreciation for the arts.”

Michelle is one of the nicest people I've ever met, that is what really drove me to hiring her. She was extremely helpful and would answer any questions we had and seemed extremely knowledgable about her area of expertise. Even after our case was over she emailed me everything I needed to know about how to go forward after my case. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who needed a family attorney.

Working with April Charleston was a pleasure. The task of starting a business can be daunting and long, however she made filing Clay Rocket as an LLC painless. She possesses traits of reliability, honesty, and I always felt she was invested in me no matter how small the task. Mixing her abilities as a lawyer and interests in the arts sets her apart from the rest. As an artists I am honored to have her representation.
