AMS Law provides experienced Pennsylvania divorce representation from the initial filing through equitable distribution, spousal support, child support, custody, and final decree.
We tell you what you need to hear, not simply what you want to hear. We identify the risks, protect your interests, and build a strategy designed for the outcome you need. And when negotiation is no longer enough, our trial-tested attorneys are prepared to take your case to court and fight for you.

Divorce is one of the few legal processes that touches everything at once: your home, your income, your retirement, your children, and your sense of what comes next. The decisions you make in the first few months tend to shape the years that follow.
At AMS Law, we don’t tell clients what they want to hear. We tell you what the law allows, what the court is likely to do, and what it will take to get there. Then we go to work. You’ll know where you stand at every stage, and you won’t walk into a courtroom unprepared.
It depends on the path. If both spouses consent, Pennsylvania requires a 90-day waiting period that begins when your spouse is served. Most of those cases finish in four to six months. If your spouse will not consent, you must be separated a full year first. Contested property, support, or custody adds time.
No. If your spouse consents, you’re on the faster 90-day track. If not, you can still get a no-fault divorce after living separate and apart for one continuous year. Fault grounds like adultery and desertion also exist, but they’re used far less often and require proof.
Very. It determines what counts as marital property, how assets are valued, and which deadlines apply. Separation means you’ve stopped living as a married couple, even if you’re still under the same roof. Spouses often remember the date differently, so talk to an attorney about how it applies to you.
