Divorce Lawyer in Lancaster, PA

Divorce can be difficult and emotional, but it does not have to overwhelm your life or become a battle. With a caring legal guide, you can approach your divorce with an eye toward a brighter future. I am divorce lawyer Angela Flouras Rieck, and I have spent over a decade helping families throughout Lancaster County navigate divorce. I believe in helping my clients find better approaches to difficult situations through affordable, efficient legal counsel.

The legal process can be complex and confusing, but I am here to answer all your questions and guide you through each step. Once you decide to divorce, you must address certain important aspects of your separation. It may involve any of the following topics:

  • Property division: Pennsylvania is an equitable distribution state, meaning that a judge will divide the marital property based on equitable principles, not necessarily an even split of the assets.
  • Same-sex divorce: Although the divorce process is similar regardless of spouse gender, the LGBTQ+ community may face a few unique issues and challenges that I can help you with.
  • Domestic violence: If you either fear for your safety or your spouse has made accusations of domestic violence against you, I can help you determine your best path forward.
  • Child support: The courts will require both parents to financially support their children, following Pennsylvania’s child support guidelines.
  • Child custody: If you and your spouse share children, this is likely the most important aspect of your divorce. I will help protect your relationship with your children and advise you of your rights and obligations.

No matter what issues arise during your divorce, I will explain your options and help you find a solution that works for you and your family.

Design Your Own Future

Most people do not look forward to the idea of fighting in court, especially when it comes to something as personal as their family life. If you are one of them, the good news is that many people can negotiate their own agreements regarding their divorce. I often encourage my clients to try negotiation before resorting to litigation for several reasons, including:

  • Save time: The court process can take longer than negotiating on your schedule.
  • It saves money: You save both court and attorney fees when settling out of court.
  • Preserve relationships: If you continue to co-parent with your former spouse, maintaining a healthy relationship is important for the sake of your children.
  • You stay in control: Most people are happier with an outcome they had a hand in creating than one dictated by a judge.

Occasionally, however, negotiations fail and couples must go before a judge. In such cases, I am well-prepared to represent you. Divorce is difficult, but you and your family can make it through it and can even look forward to a better future.
