Practice Areas

At PROTASIO & JASPER, P.C., we provide the following legal services.

Divorce

A divorce can be one of the most stressful times in your life.  Uncertainty over division of real estate, retirements and your future financial stability can be overwhelming.  Opt for experienced and knowledgeable legal assistance when dealing with these complicated divorce matters.  Contact out family-law professionals and find out about your legal rights. 

Custody

The wellbeing of your children is your number one priority.  Child custody issues can be complex and you need competent legal representation to ensure that your legal and physical custody rights are protected.  Our attorneys have handled hundreds of child custody cases aggressively and compassionately, recognizing that children are involved.  Whether negotiating an agreed upon schedule or fighting for you in a custody trial, our experienced attorneys are here to help.

Child and Spousal Support Issues

Whether you are dealing with child support issues, spousal support, Alimony Pendente Lite or alimony, our lawyers will give you the information and advice you need.  Support guidelines are difficult to understand.  That is why we are here to help.  The attorneys at Protasio & Jasper, P.C. will make sure you know what to expect as you navigate the support process. 

Adoption

Adoption can be one of the most pivotal moments in the lives of new parents and their adopted children. Therefore, it's crucially important to understand your legal rights and responsibilities while going through the adoption process. Unfortunately, the process of going through an adoption can be extremely stressful and emotional.  That's why having an experienced adoption attorney by your side is so important. The attorneys at Protasio & Jasper, P.C. will ensure that the process is smooth and that you and your child's interests are protected.

Flat fee Divorce and Agreements

Custody and Divorce doesn't always have to be ugly.  Sometimes you will agree how to handle things but just need the paperwork prepared.  Whether it is a custody agreement, a marital settlement agreement, a simple no-fault divorce or a prenuptial agreement, we can handle all of your needs.  Because these agreements do not require court appearances, we are able to keep your costs down by working remotely and can assist you regardless of where you live in Pennsylvania.  Contact our offices today!

Mediation

Couples often choose divorce mediation because mediation is faster, less expensive and less contentious than a traditional divorce process. Reducing the stress and trauma of the divorce process itself may ease co-parenting after divorce, as well. During divorce mediation, our mediators will guide couples in addressing all the issues associated with divorce, including asset division, custody arrangements and spousal and child support.
