A Lancaster custody case often connects to other family law issues. We break down how child custody works under Pennsylvania law step by step; below are the related matters we handle, each part of a Lancaster family law case:
| Office | Matter | Court |
|---|---|---|
| 110 East King Street, Lancaster, PA 17602 | Child Custody | Lancaster County Courthouse, 50 N Duke St, Lancaster, PA 17602 |
Before your case ever reaches a judge, Pennsylvania procedure calls for a conference with a custody conference officer, a required step meant to help parents reach an agreement without a courtroom fight. We prepare you specifically for that conference, not just for a hearing that may never happen, so you know what to say and what to expect from the first meeting on.
At Lancaster Law Group, our Lancaster team’s combined judicial, prosecutorial, and private-practice background shapes how we build your custody case, not just how it reads on a bio page.
Lancaster Law Group's founder built his practice on a judicial clerkship and experience as an assistant district attorney. That means he's seen custody cases from the judge's side of the bench, and he uses that vantage point to build the kind of thorough, aggressive case that holds up when your parenting time is on the line.
A Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association's Family Law Section Council, credentials that reflect deep experience in Pennsylvania family law. For custody clients, that depth translates into fewer surprises: she's handled the complicated custody disputes that other firms turn away.
A former business owner turned trial attorney, David ran his own Lancaster County practice in family law and criminal defense for a decade before joining Lancaster Law Group. He's sat across the table from hundreds of Lancaster County parents in custody disputes, and that repetition is what tells him which arguments actually move a local judge.
A former U.S. Army JAG Corps prosecutor and appellate counsel, Robert spent decades in Lancaster County courtrooms and served as President of the Lancaster Bar Association. His experience building and arguing cases at the highest level continues to shape how our team approaches complex custody matters.
Local expertise, not a generic playbook. At Lancaster Law Group, our office sits at 110 East King Street in downtown Lancaster, across the street from the Lancaster County Courthouse where custody conferences and hearings are held. We’re in that courthouse regularly, and we know the judges, the conference officers, and the local procedures that shape how a Lancaster County custody case actually moves.
Aggressive advocacy when it counts. We take on the tough Lancaster County custody cases other firms pass on, from third-party custody claims to appeals that don’t follow a standard script. When your case needs a fight, we’re ready for one, and we won’t back off just because the other side pushes back.
Client-first communication. You’ll hear from us throughout your custody case, not just at the start. We return calls, explain what’s happening in plain English, and make sure you understand your options before any decision gets made about your parenting time.
A firm commitment to trust. Our family law team includes an AAML Fellow, one of the credentials that carries real weight in a contested custody dispute, backed by the same standard of preparation you’ll find at our Pennsylvania Family Law office in downtown Lancaster.
Preparation, not empty promises. We don’t guarantee outcomes. We guarantee that your custody case will be prepared thoroughly, argued aggressively when needed, and explained to you clearly at every stage, from your first call to your final custody order.
Ready to talk? Call +1 717-983-3149 or schedule a no-pressure consultation.
Our consultation process is straightforward and built around three things you need before any decisions get made:
Custody matters are heard through the Lancaster County Courthouse Family Division at 50 North Duke Street, along with a required custody conciliation conference before most cases reach a judge.
No. Custody consultations are between you and your attorney; we'll tell you if and when your child's involvement becomes necessary.
We handle modifications when circumstances change, from relocation to shifts in a child's needs. Bring your existing order to the consultation.
We know Lancaster County’s custody conference process and the judges who decide these cases. We’ve argued custody appeals and third-party custody claims that don’t follow a standard script, and we’ll map out your options before you decide anything. Call +1 717-983-3149 or schedule a consultation online, and we’ll connect you with the right attorney and start building a plan for your kids.
