Child Custody Lawyer in Philadelphia
Custody cases can become emotionally overwhelming, and that’s often when bad agreements happen. Crouthamel Law helps parents in Philadelphia pursue custody orders that support consistency for the child and defensible terms for the parent. Our trusted child custody lawyer provides guidance and representation for:
- Legal custody (decision-making) and physical custody (overnights/time)
- Shared custody schedules and primary custody disputes
- Modifications when circumstances change
- Enforcement actions when orders are not followed
- Relocation-related disputes and schedule restructuring
What the Court Considers
Pennsylvania custody law directs courts to determine the child’s best interests by considering relevant statutory factors, with special weight given to safety-related factors. We translate those factors into an evidence plan that includes documents, witnesses, communications, and parenting history.
Common custody conflict points—and how we address them
- Scheduling: school nights, holidays, summers, transportation
- Communication rules: boundaries, apps, response times, emergency protocols
- Decision-making: education/medical tie-breakers and shared authority
- Stability: continuity in schooling, routines, and caregiving roles
Resolve Custody With a Plan, Not Guesswork
Whether your case settles or goes to a hearing, we focus on clear terms that reduce future conflict and protect your ability to parent.
