For more than 33 years, the Law Office of Dolores J. Varga, now Varga Law Offices, has proudly served families in Delaware County, Pennsylvania with their family law needs. I have narrowed my practice to the area of family law because I believe that families are the building blocks of our society. In addition, I limit my practice to Delaware County so that I can focus my attention on the local nuances of procedure to serve my clients better by being familiar with the ins and outs of our court system. My office prides itself on communication by promptly returning telephone calls and being accessible. At a time when turmoil and unpleasantness are paramount in my clients' lives, I try to provide a calming influence so that issues can be dealt with swiftly and fairly.
Providing sound counsel to achieve your goals
Unfortunately, the family law system is not the most conducive to settling or achieving quick results and because of this, the attorneys end up with most of the assets of the marriage. My philosophy is to achieve the results that my clients desire in the most expeditious fashion possible, even if this means referring them to other attorneys or mediators. When a rapid result is not possible, I attempt to keep my costs at a minimum in any way feasible. When settlement is not achievable, I represent my clients vigorously; fighting to obtain the very best court outcome possible.
Truth is paramount in family matters. I always advise my clients of the best- and worst-case scenarios, the ones most likely to occur and the costs involved. In this way, my clients are intimately involved in the strategies and outcomes of their cases.
Effectively handling your divorce-related issues
As a Media, PA family law and divorce lawyer, I handle many legal issues that have intensely personal consequences:
-Divorce: Pennsylvania provides both fault-based and no-fault divorces. My law firm can help you proceed in the most expeditious manner.
-Separation: While Pennsylvania does not officially recognize separation, it is used for particular purposes such as property settlement.
-Child custody: Physical child custody determines the parent with whom your children live. The legal custodial parent typically has sole decision-making powers regarding the children's healthcare, education and religious instruction; however it is quite rare for one parent to have sole legal custody. Generally legal custody is joint.
-Child support: Child support payments are awarded to the primary physical custodial parent. I work to ensure that the statutory support guidelines are accurately calculated.
-Domestic violence: If you are a victim of domestic violence, my law firm stands ready to advocate on your behalf. A Protection from Abuse order (PFA) can legally protect you from abuse. However, there are also instances where a person is wrongfully accused of abuse. At those times, I work to bring out the truth so that any temporary order is vacated.
