We had the good fortune to meet and retain Attorney Ghen 5 years ago regarding custody of our grandchildren. He is very knowledgeable about the law and well respected by his peers. Greg understands our complex situation and has always been very straight forward and honest with us. Sure there were times we didn't like to hear what he had to say, emotions run high in family law situations, but he was always right and in the end helped us navigate family court successfully.
Like I said, it's been five years and of course court is expensive but we found Greg to be very fair and frugal with our case. Believe me when I say, we had looked around and found him to be the right fit for us financially and morally. Our case was/is a very heated one and Greg always kept his cool and was able to handle things in an amicable way.
As paternal grandparents fighting for custody against mom, Greg Ghen was able to get us shared legal and an almost even split of periods of physical custody to the tune of 6 days on 8 days off, 2 weeks vacation and holidays.

Pennsylvania courts CAN and DO award alimony.
The Divorce Code defines "alimony" as an order for support granted by a court of Pennsylvania, or any other state, to a spouse or former spouse, in conjunction with a decree granting a divorce or an annulment.
Supporting a dependent spouse is a duty that arises out of the marriage.
A court imposed obligation to pay alimony also results from the marriage, but continues after the entry of a divorce decree.
Alimony may only be granted as part of a decree granting a divorce between the parties.

Alimony Pendente Lite (APL) is a legal obligation to pay money to the dependent spouse (husband or wife) as part of an ongoing divorce action to assist in paying legal fees or in substitution for spousal support (see "Support" below).
The "dependent spouse" is the spouse who demonstrates or proves that he or she has "depended on the other spouse" for financial support.
The payment of Alimony Pendente Lite is to assist the spouse that lacks the independent ability to earn enough money to provide for his or her needs due to having to provide necessary care for young children, a general lack of skills, ill health, disability, or lack training or education.
