Offering Child Custody Legal Services

At Giribaldi & Manaras, P.C., we are committed to guiding you through the divorce process. We want to make sure your children’s well-being is addressed. Our family law attorneys will fully explain parental rights and responsibilities, involving:

  • Legal Child Custody — In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, parents are frequently awarded joint legal custody. This grants parents the ability to make decisions about their children’s education, religious upbringing and medical needs.
  • Physical Child Custody —Physical custody determines children’s living arrangement and daycare responsibilities. Custodial custody is granted to parents who will spend the majority of time with their children. The other parent normally receives visitation rights at specific times.

Every family is unique. We understand parents want to make the transition as seamless as possible on their children. We can help negotiate a plan for your children to remain in the same house each week, while you and your ex-spouse rotate living in an apartment. We want to help establish parenting plans that will benefit you and your children.

Outlining Child Support Guidelines

Child support is determined in New Jersey and Pennsylvania based on a mathematical formula. The amount of child support a parent pays to the other parent may increase or decrease based on specific factors, such as:

  • Income Level
  • Shared Parenting Time
  • Daycare Expenses
  • Special Medical or Educational Needs
  • Support Obligations to Other Children

Child support typically ends when a child turns 18, but modifications can be made if there is a substantial change in circumstances. We represent clients seeking to modify or enforce child support agreements based on a significant increase or decrease in pay.
