Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Divorce Lawyers
Protecting Your Interests during Division of Assets
It's not always necessary to go to court to secure your fair share of marital assets in a divorce. Our experienced divorce attorneys will fight for your interests while striving for an out-of-court settlement that avoids costly litigation.
Henry & Beaver Law Firm counsels men or women in Lebanon, Lancaster, Berks, Dauphin and Schuylkill counties, as well as military personnel stationed at Fort Indiantown Gap. Call today for a confidential consultation.
We understand that ending a marriage and dividing what you own is an emotional undertaking. But emotions can get in the way of good economic sense and a workable, efficient divorce agreement. With decades of experience, we understand how local judges are likely to rule and we can offer creative solutions. If litigation is unavoidable, our firm is fully prepared to defend your position at trial.
Property Division in Pennsylvania Divorce
Pennsylvania is an equitable distribution state; all property is divided no matter whose name it is in. Many of our clients are teachers or retired factory workers with defined benefit and pension plans. Attorney John Whitmoyer has extensive knowledge of retirement assets (pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs) and drafts his own Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) to fairly divide what sometimes is the biggest asset in divorce.
We also have the resources to put a fair and accurate valuation on:
- The market value of the house
- Rental real estate or vacation property
- A closely held business
- Stocks and other investments
Alimony is not commonly awarded. Instead, if one party has distinctly lower income, education or earning power, that party will typically receive a greater share of the assets in the divorce agreement.
Military Divorce
We have represented many members of the National Guard or Army Reserve (or their civilian spouses). Our lawyers are familiar with the special considerations in military divorce, such as pay systems, housing allowances, continuation of spousal benefits and division of military pensions.
Henry & Beaver Law Firm handles every aspect of divorce, including child custody and support issues, temporary orders, and post-dissolution modifications. We also draft or litigate prenuptial agreements.
Attorneys John Whitmoyer, Frederick Wolf and Stephanie Mays Harris have more than 70 years of combined experience in divorce and family law. Clients meet directly with these seasoned professionals, not a paralegal. Schedule an appointment today at 717-769-1296.
