Skip to content Spousal support questions in Lancaster often surface before a divorce is even filed, and getting the timing and the number right matters for what comes next. We bring the same aggressive advocacy to support cases that we bring into a courtroom, meeting clients at 110 East King Street, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by phone and video when that’s a better fit.
Schedule a confidential consultation: call +1 717-983-3149 or book a time online. We’ll look at your income, your spouse’s income, and what a fair support order should look like.
A Lancaster spousal support case often connects to other family law issues. We break down how spousal support and alimony work 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 | Spousal Support | Lancaster County Domestic Relations Section (conferences), 150 N Queen St, Suite 220, Lancaster, PA 17603; final orders entered by the Court of Common Pleas, 50 N Duke St, Lancaster, PA 17602 |
That two-step process, a conference first and a judge’s order second, is where most of the outcome actually gets decided. We prepare your financial picture for the conference itself, not just for a hearing that may never happen, so the number you start with is already the number most likely to hold.
At Lancaster Law Group, our Lancaster team’s combined judicial, prosecutorial, and private-practice background shapes how we build every spousal support 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 knows how a judge actually weighs a support request, and he uses that perspective to build the kind of number that holds up at a conference and, if it comes to it, in front of a judge.
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 support and alimony clients, that depth means she can untangle the complicated income situations, like bonuses, self-employment, or a recent job loss, that a simple guideline calculation misses.
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 calculated support numbers around real business income before, and that experience is what tells him when a spouse's reported income doesn't match reality.
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 numbers and arguments that survive appellate scrutiny continues to shape how our team approaches contested support cases.
Local expertise, not a generic playbook. At Lancaster Law Group, our office sits at 110 East King Street in downtown Lancaster, a short distance from both the Domestic Relations Section and the Lancaster County Courthouse where support matters ultimately move. We know the conference officers, the judges, and the local procedures that shape how a Lancaster County support case actually plays out.
Aggressive advocacy when it counts. We take on the tough Lancaster County support cases other firms pass on, from hidden or disputed income to contested alimony claims. 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 support case. We return calls, explain what the numbers actually mean in plain English, and make sure you understand what you’re likely entitled to before any decision gets made.
A firm commitment to trust. Our family law team includes an AAML Fellow, one of the credentials that carries real weight in a contested support or alimony case, 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 support case will be prepared thoroughly, argued aggressively when needed, and explained to you clearly at every stage, from your first call to your final order.

Spousal support applies before divorce is filed, alimony pendente lite applies during the case, and alimony applies after. We'll tell you which one fits your situation.
We know the Domestic Relations Section and the Lancaster County judges who enter final support orders. We know how to build the numbers so they hold up. And we’ll walk you through what you’re likely entitled to before you decide anything. Call +1 717-983-3149 or schedule a consultation online.
