Family Law Group

As the complexion of the American family has changed over the years, so too has the practice of family law. Clients look to our family law attorneys to represent them in matters involving the most personal and complex issues affecting their family lives.

Obermayer’s family law group is comprised of experienced, compassionate attorneys that cumulatively have a strong record of successfully representing clients in all aspects of family law.

Our family law attorneys are sensitive to the emotionally painful process that occurs when parties divorce. Our goal is to achieve the best result for our clients in the most practical and cost-effective manner possible. When appropriate, Obermayer’s family law attorneys work closely with our tax, corporate, real estate and trust and estate attorneys to provide a comprehensive approach to complex family law matters.

Our family law practice extends throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The family law group is comprised of fellows of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and attorneys listed among the “Best Lawyers in America” and Top 100 Lawyers in Pennsylvania. Many of the lawyers in our family law group publish, lecture and teach all aspects of family law and are often called upon as experts in the field.
