At the law office of Mongiovi Law, LLC,  we can assist you with family law matters such as divorce, child custody, support, paternity determinations, protection from abuse (PFAs) and violations of PFAs (indirect criminal contempt).  We provide you with a reliable quality of representation with the confidentiality you need.  We work with you to discuss your goals, strategically plan their implementation, and then we negotiate and, if necessary, litigate to finalize your goals.  We aim to create a strong, professional relationship, with the personal atmosphere needed in such a sensitive matter.

The actual divorce process can be very stressful and traumatic for some individuals, and we understand our clients’ emotions and stress when going through a divorce.  We work hard to tailor a desirable resolution of the emotional and economic facets of a divorce, so that our clients can be free to continue on with their lives.  There are usually many decisions to make during the dissolution of a marriage such as property division, spousal and child support, alimony, and child custody.  As an experienced Pennsylvania divorce attorney, Mr. Mongiovi listens to his clients’ desires and assist them in identifying their goals.  We believe that it is important for our clients to be comfortable with the path to resolution.

Child custody disputes can sometimes be even more stressful than a divorce.  The children can be traumatized by the process, so it is important to resolve such disputes with minimal emotional impact on them.  We work to resolve the disputes in such a way, and in a manner that is in the best interests of the children.  We believe in effective resolution through cooperative negotiations, and if they prove to be ineffective, then through tough and skilled courtroom litigation.
