Spring Garden borders York City to the south, minutes from the courthouse on North George Street. Divorce and custody filings go to the Prothonotary at the courthouse; child support matters are handled through the York County Domestic Relations Section at the same location.
The same court hears every York County family law matter we take. York County also operates 19 Magisterial District Judge offices for citations, summary offenses, and smaller civil claims; if you received a hearing notice, the assigned MDJ office is listed on your paperwork. For the family law matters we handle, we represent clients largely by video and phone, with in-person meetings at our Lancaster office.
Why Spring Garden Township Residents Choose Lancaster Law Group
Spring Garden families weighing their options deserve to know what makes our firm different. It comes back to the line the firm is built on: a firm commitment to trust.
The first call is a conversation, not a commitment. You walk us through the situation, we give you an honest read on whether we can take your York County case and whether it is time to act, and nothing is owed either way. That first straight answer is often worth the call on its own.
We build cases the way you would want yours built. One part of a family law case almost always pulls on another, and treating them in isolation is how people lose ground. We look at how custody, support, and property interact in your specific situation, build around it, and come prepared to make the argument in court if protecting your position requires it.
You will always know where your case stands. We tell you what each stage of your case requires, what the realistic range of outcomes looks like, and what decisions are coming. The uncertainty of a divorce or custody matter is real, and our job is to reduce it with clear, plainspoken guidance.
We are staffed for cases that do not fit a template. Our partner Shawnee S. Burton is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, a national credential earned by demonstrated, peer-recognized experience in complex family law, and founder Joseph P. McMahon, known for being thorough, knowledgeable, and aggressive, tried cases as an assistant district attorney before advising clients. You can meet the attorneys who would handle your case, and for Spring Garden Township clients facing high-asset divorce, contested custody, or a case headed to trial, that depth means an attorney who has handled situations like yours and is ready to fight for the outcome that protects you.
No outcome guarantees. Only preparation. We will not promise you a result, because no honest lawyer can. What we commit to is the work: building your case, knowing the court, and being ready to argue it if a hearing is where your matter ends up. When a family law matter requires litigation, we are not adjusting to it. We are already prepared for it.
Ready to talk? call (717) 358-0600 or book a time online. A member of our team will confirm the right attorney for your case and get you on the calendar.
What to Expect When You Call

- We translate the law. We explain how Pennsylvania handles your situation in plain terms, without the lecture or the fear tactics.
- You leave with a plan. By the end of the call you will know the next move, whether that is filing, responding, gathering documents, or simply thinking it over.
