Family Law and Domestic Relations

Dedicated Family Law Attorneys

At the law firm of Erik B. Jensen, we understand that family law is an area of the law that is intensely personal - and that clients involved in family law disputes need both personal and professional support through these highly-emotional times, and also require calm and reasoned decision-making guidance. We represent clients in a full range of family law matters in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including:

• Divorce, annulments, dissolutions, and legal separation: Our Philadelphia divorce lawyers can handle anything from contentious divorce litigation to the mediation of amicable settlements with both compassion for our clients and aggressive work on their behalf.
• Child custody and child support: including termination of parental rights, visitation and placement, and post-judgment modifications. Child custody and related issues are emotionally intense. When it comes to representing your interests, and the best interests of children involved, we give 100%.
• Adoption: Few things are more rewarding for our family law attorneys than bringing together a family and a child in need of a home. Our attorneys work hard to see that happen, while always remaining responsive and attentive to our clients’ needs and wishes.
• Domestic abuse: including protective orders, Protection from Abuse order (PFA), and restraining orders. If you are a victim of abuse, you can come to one of our lawyers to find out what your legal options are, and our conversations will be kept completely confidential. We just want to help in any way we can.
• Alimony, maintenance, and spousal support: Our attorneys work hard to bring about the alimony arrangement that our clients deserve.
• Paternity: Nothing is more frustrating than wondering if you are a parent after a short or long-term relationship. If you are concerned about your right to a full fact-finding hearing, please contact us.
• Contempt and enforcement proceedings: With new support and enforcement laws enacted, non-custodial parents face many issues, including possible jail time for failure to meet child support obligations. We have extensive experience in order modifications, reductions, defense, and negotiation, and are committed to protecting your rights and interests.
• Guardianships: To avoid any future complications, let our attorneys make effective guardianship arrangements.
• Name Changes: The process and applicable standards are different for adult and minor name changes. We can help you navigate the process, efficiently and effectively.
• Premarital, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: In today’s world, laying the legal ground rules for a marriage can be crucial. Contact us to plan tax and financial contingencies if your relationship does not work. Competent asset protection advice can save you a great deal of time, money, and frustration.
