Where do I file for divorce in Montgomery County?
Divorce complaints are filed with the Montgomery County Prothonotary in Norristown. At least one spouse must have lived in Pennsylvania for the six months before filing (23 Pa.C.S. § 3104(b)). As of early 2026 the filing fee is typically $285 to $350 depending on the counts included; confirm the current fee with the Prothonotary.
How long does a divorce take in Montgomery County?
A mutual consent divorce under 23 Pa.C.S. § 3301(c) has a 90-day waiting period and usually finishes in about four to six months. If one spouse will not consent, the other can proceed after one year of separation under § 3301(d). See our Pennsylvania divorce laws guide.
What does a Montgomery County divorce lawyer handle?
Whether your case is amicable or contested, we assist with:
- Property division and marital assets
- Child custody and support
- Spousal support and alimony
- No-fault and uncontested divorce
- Negotiation or courtroom litigation
How is child custody decided?
Custody is a separate action from the divorce. The court decides based on the child’s best interests under 23 Pa.C.S. § 5328(a), giving the most weight to factors that affect the child’s safety. We assist clients with:
- Legal and physical custody
- Shared parenting plans
- Fathers’ rights and grandparents’ rights
- Parental alienation and relocation cases
- Emergency custody and enforcement
See our custody lawyer page for more.
How fast does a protection from abuse (PFA) case move?
Quickly. A hearing must be held within ten business days after the petition is filed (23 Pa.C.S. § 6107(a)). Before that hearing, a judge can issue a temporary order without the other side present on a finding of immediate and present danger of abuse (§ 6107(b)). A final order can run for up to three years and can be extended (§ 6108(d) and (e)).
We represent both petitioners and defendants, including:
- Filing or defending against PFA orders
- Emergency hearings
- Custody complications tied to PFA
- Safety planning and court appearances
What areas of Montgomery County do you serve?
