Meeting the Unique Needs of Each Family
For most of us, family ties and marriage are important relationships close to our hearts. We are often at our most vulnerable when these relationships appear to be failing.

Since 1926, families in the Philadelphia area have counted on the Timoney Knox law firm. We know that each family is unique so we spend time with you to gain a clear understanding of the issues you and your family are facing.
When you call with questions or concerns, you will speak with your lawyer — not an assistant — because we know how important client service is at any time, but especially when the matter involves your family.
Our family law attorneys help individuals and families with divorce matters as well as other issues important to you and your family.
- Equitable distribution: One of the biggest issues in a divorce is how the property will be divided. When one or both spouses own a business, the resolution can affect the business as well as the family. We can help you find a fair solution.
- Child custody and visitation: Decisions about custody and parenting time should always be made in the best interests of the child, but parents may have different ideas about those interests.
- Child and spousal support: Support formulas are based on a number of factors. Your lawyer can help you understand the formula and court guidelines.
- Adoption: If you are planning to adopt a child, talk to a lawyer to assure that all necessary documents are in place.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: For many couples, especially those with substantial assets or children, it is a good idea to review the expectations and responsibilities of both spouses prior to marriage or at some point during the marriage.
- Modification of court orders: Long after the divorce is final, there may be a need to modify the court's orders to deal with changing circumstances — substantial changes in income, changes in the children's needs, changes in parenting abilities.
- Paternity: When a child is born outside of a marriage relationship, it is important to legally establish paternity. This gives the father both rights and obligations.
The divorce lawyers at Timoney Knox are very skilled at identifying the unique needs and goals of each client and at focusing our representation towards the most effective and efficient methods of achieving the resolution our client seeks. Wherever appropriate, we will direct our clients to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services such as mediation and arbitration. At a challenging time in your life, we are committed to providing our clients with personal service and to treating them with the utmost courtesy and respect.
After a divorce, remember to evaluate and revise your estate plan as needed.
Whatever the nature of your family situation, our attorneys have the expertise to help you find a lasting solution. Contact us to find out what we can do to assist you in your time of need.
