It is an unfortunate statistic that a first marriage lasts 12 years on average, and 50% of those end up in divorce. This means while couples are planning on how to spend the rest of their lives together, they should also have a plan in place for how to spend the rest of their lives separately.

A lot of things change when a Pennsylvania family goes from living together as a single unit to deciding to live in separate households with custody, alimony and child support arrangements. This decision brings with it a lot of uncertainty and confusion, as individuals begin their journey into the unknown, often alone.

As such, you may have a legal obligation to pay child support. Alternatively, you may receive monthly payments from your children’s co-parent.
