Philadelphia Divorce Lawyer

Divorce - one of the most difficult and risky experiences in life

At Erik B. Jensen P.C., we realize that our clients who are involved in the dissolution of their marriages undergo a process involving great emotional and financial hardships. If your marriage is coming to an end, our attorneys and staff realize that you are concerned about many issues: the welfare of your children; your current and future economic situation; your debts and liabilities; your home and other assets that you have worked hard to obtain; and how you will handle the responsibilities that lie ahead. It is important to begin working with an experienced family law attorney as soon as possible. Avoid making mistakes that will affect you, not just in the short term, but in the years to come. Contact our office to consult with one of our experienced lawyers. We provide free consultations and look forward to evaluating your specific needs and concerns.

A divorce trial, or Pennsylvania divorce mediation?

Attorneys at our firm have over 65 years of combined experience in domestic litigation. We are well-prepared to effectively protect our clients in all types of divorce proceedings. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, divorce is designed to be no-fault in general; however, negotiations and mediations (which we certainly encourage, particularly when child custody and support matters are involved) may be insufficient to getting the result you want. Proper and effective preparation for family law matters is essential. We consider all the social and economic aspects of your case. We realize, and are sensitive to, your needs and those of your children. Whenever there is a divorce, it is an acknowledgement that a marriage has failed. Our clients are able to discuss, review, and evaluate all of their options for a result consistent with their goals. Custody and divorce are two of the most intense areas of law to practice because people are fighting over what they love most. We have vast experience in how to properly negotiate and resolve differences to mutual satisfaction. We consider your goals in each step of the process. Whether our client goes through mediation, negotiates agreements, settles or litigates child support, child custody, support, division of marital property debt, or alimony, we are always ready to assist you step by step through these difficult times.

Child Custody and Property - the issues involved in divorce

Divorce or legal separation takes two people to resolve. When couples dissolve their family ties, each needs to rebuild and move forward. This process of rebuilding requires considering many intangible factors: parental time; value of a homemaker's services; the tax implications of retirement and the divorce itself; accounting for assets and expenditures; alimony payments; the special needs of your children. Our attorneys will work with you to determine your primary goals and help you accomplish them. If you have concerns about hidden assets, protection from domestic violence (abuse) through a restraining order, or the creation of an effective child custody and visitation agreement, please contact us. We have experience and will use creative resolutions to your problems. We have served over 19,000 clients in the greater Philadelphia area over the years. Our commitment is to make a difference in serving your needs. Are you getting the results you want?
