We Approach Every Case with Knowledge and Confidence

Obtaining Fair Child Custody Arrangements

The Pennsylvania courts determine and evaluate custody arrangements to find what is in the best interests of the child or children involved. Such arrangements are typically based on such factors as:

  • The need for sustainability and continuity in the child’s education, family and community
  • Which party is more likely to encourage and permit frequent and continuing contact between the child and the other parent
  • The parental duties performed by each parent
  • Each parent’s availability to care for the child
  • Proximity of the parents’ residences to each other

At Palange, Endres & Marks, P.C., we represent clients for a wide range of child custody concerns, including establishing initial arrangements and any post-decree modifications. Our attorneys will make every effort to negotiate and settle a case out of court. If this isn’t possible, however, we are experienced in presenting custody cases before our judges and custody masters in a manner that is most effective in achieving a successful outcome.
