Beginning  January 1, 2022, the August 17, 2021, revisions to Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines will go into effect.

Notable changes include an all-new Basic Child Support Schedule (support table) under Pa.R.C.P. 1910.16-3, which sets forth the total child support for the combined net monthly income of the parties.

Additionally, there are changes to:

• the presumption of custodial time associated with the basic guidelines;
• imputed income;
• expenses and extra-curricular activities; and
• factors for deviation from the guidelines.

While the changes themselves constitute a material and substantial change in circumstances under which a current Order may be reviewed, the changes may result in a (very) minimal potential change to many cases, while at certain income levels the updated guidelines produce substantial differences to a support calculation.

Also, changing in Allegheny County beginning on January 4, 2022, for new support cases will be the implementation of a two-step process for conferences/hearings. Previously, in Allegheny County, the support conference and support hearing were scheduled for the same day. Moving forward these matters will be handled separately.

The support conferences will continue to be held remotely by telephone (until further notice), but if there is no agreement at the conference level, rather than proceeding directly to a support hearing on the same day, the parties will be given a date for a subsequent support hearing, before a hearing officer to be held in person within two weeks from the date of the conference.

For more information about these changes, how they may impact your support case and to calculate the amount of support owed or received, we are happy to speak to you. Feel free to call us at 412.303.9566.

When it comes to the theory behind providing meaningful legal counsel to a family law client, we really are talking about compassionate legal counsel. We are talking about making the right decisions for the family and providing information that is measurable and understandable for the family. When it comes to deciding what is the right decision, part of what the family is considering is cost. While price is not everything when it comes to selecting a family law lawyer, what the family perceives as the bottom line in what is being spent on legal matters is certainly important. One of the interesting factors that comes into play for families who are in the midst of family law matters is cost for legal counsel may be less than expected when a legal recruiter is involved. Certainly, people may wonder an awful lot about the payment methods of legal recruiters for what they do. More importantly, understanding how do legal recruiters get paid is a means by which a family may understand more about the legal recruiter when they are working with one and, thus, are empowered to make good choices about legal counsel.

From a recruiter perspective, there are generally two methods by which a legal recruiter is paid for its services. A legal recruiter may charge the lawyer a fee or the lawyer’s firm a fee to find and refer a qualified candidate. A legal recruiter may charge the candidate for their services. A legal recruiter may charge a mixture of both the candidate and the firm. The arrangement may be fixed or may depend on a percentage of the compensation paid to the lawyer at the new law firm. Legal recruiters may charge the lawyer a one-time fee for each introductory placement. The placement fee is usually a percent of the first year’s salary of the legal professional being placed in a position. In some cases, the fee is a multi-year schedule based on the salary being paid to the legal professional. It is also possible that the legal recruiter requires a monthly retainer fee be paid for a period of time during the recruiting process and then a placement fee can be charged once the placement has been made. So the placement fee may be in addition to the retainer.

Legal recruiters may charge candidates for their services. The fee may be used to cover everything from coaching during the interviewing process to resume preparation to review of the offer letter to other services that are provided through the recruiting process. The billing is often on an hourly basis, but it is important to identify the work being performed prior to charging a fee for services. In any case, the recruiter should disclose its fee arrangement to the firm and the candidate to avoid any conflict of interest. A recruiter may charge both the firm and the candidate for their services. A recruiter may choose to charge a flat fee or a fee that is scaleable based on certain factors such as level of service provided, place of employment or compensation level of job being filled. This fee arrangement could also include the firm paying a retainer to be worked off over time – in addition to the placement fee.

The information about how do legal recruiters get paid which is provided here on Family Law Matters is a good example of how we provide meaningful information to families dealing with family law matters. The information is also a good example of how our understanding of the profession and its associated concerns helps us help families when they choose a family law professional. Certainly, the person hurt the most by not understanding all the facets of a profession into which they are employing themselves while the families are being torn apart. When someone is involved in family law matters, they are often undergoing the most difficult times in their lives. While they are facing issues such as divorce, visitation, child support and other issues, they still need to understand the roles of different professionals who employ themselves (or are employed) to act as representatives in those matters. That holds true – for example – for legal recruiters.

The Family Division of the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas has added newly elected Judges Judge Costa, Judge Henry-Taylor, Judge Korbel, Judge Middleman, Judge Sizemore and Judge Wagner to the Bench.

A great deal of family law crosses over with other aspects of the law. One example is non-solicitation agreements. Non-solicitation agreements (or clauses), are very popular as a restriction on employees when becoming employed by an organization. They can also be sources of litigations for many other reasons and in family law, they can become potential factors in disputes like divorce. A recent article that I’ve been reading for work titled “Negotiating the Legality of Non-Solicitation Agreements,” provides insight on the topic of how to navigate non-solicitation agreements. “While non-solicitation agreements can be effective tools in preventing the dissolution of business relationships,” it states, “they can also be problematic if not drafted properly from the outset.” Non-solicit and other employment contracts can end up being factors in family law business ownership issues such as divorce or separation or sometimes inheritance or gift distribution issues. Problems arise when an owner of a business or estate or organization is tied into a non-solicit agreement with somebody else. The article makes some valuable points about non-solicitation agreements. High net worth clients can often leverage their wealth to negotiate some alternative deal with respect to a non-solicitation agreement. In a divorce situation, for example, an attorney may need to get creative when negotiating a divorce settlement with a spouse who is subject to a restrictive covenant such as an agreement not to solicit clients. Family law issues involving this kind of agreement or clause in an employment relationship are often tangled and complex matters.

Further complicating the matters is the fact that there are many different types of non-solicitation agreements. One thing that I found interesting in the article was the discussion about stock, which can be an investment risk whether owned by a business owner or gifted or bequeathed to an heir. What happens to stock in a high net worth estate when there are non-solicit agreements, especially if the heirs of an estate own the stock? What if a high net worth spouse in a divorce will become entitled to the stock? A non-solicit agreement with an organization, business, employee or contractor can have long term ramifications for family law issues in an estate or divorce proceeding.

Scott L. Levine is very familiar with the intricacies of how to get around non-solicitation agreements on behalf of high net worth clients. He provides compassionate legal counsel to his clients in matters related to employment agreements and family law issues. His focus is on finding creative solutions and advising the best path forward for positive outcomes, while respecting the long-term goals of his clients with respect to their wealth and family legacy interests. As the article points out, “not all noncompete and non-solicitation clauses are enforceable,” so it’s important to get experienced legal representation before signing or not determining your rights and obligations under an agreement that you have signed. Family law cases can be sensitive and complicated, and you may not want to get trapped in a position where you didn’t understand your rights and obligations, or unintended consequences were not discussed.

Don’t let a long-term client or employee leave with the bulk of your business’ clients. This is why it’s important to have your agreements thoroughly evaluated if you think there is any chance of it being violated. Get the right kind of advice to prevent a violation. I have represented a number of clients in these situations, and am happy to discuss your legal options in either direction of non-compete and non-solicit agreements, whether in the context of estate settlements, divorces, or other situations.

First, let me say this: When you are dealing with legal issues, particularly those of family law so important to those with children, you need quality legal counsel. That’s what I provide at the Law Office of Scott L. Levine. When it comes to how to understand an important legal document in housing court, let me say that I am not a housing court lawyer. You need someone who specializes in handling housing court issues. Let us say that you are not required to spend a lot of time looking up how to handle issues associated with an order to show cause housing court in Pittsburgh that are not directly related to what you seek to accomplish from a legal standpoint. There are housing court resources and several other legal resources in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to do so. There is a larger context for how finding real estate for sale or lease can be problematic. That larger context? Understanding court orders, the impact they can have on your family, and how you deal with them when in certain scenarios.

What is an order to show cause? In a housing court, this is an order from the court commanding someone to appear at a certain time, at a specific location, and before a judge or magistrate for a specific purpose. In the housing court, such an order could involve a landlord-tenant issue, typically over paying too much rent. In our local court, defaulting on rent could mean an order to leave a property if you cannot pay to stay. These cases are common in struggling areas and may result in a housing unit being vacated.

But understand that getting a court order to show cause means that you have been commanded to appear in court, under penalty of arrest if you do not get there on time. It means that you have some legal action that must be dealt with. Within the context of a divorce, child support or family law question, failing to show up could impact that part of your life and your family’s life.

Why does this matter to you? In the real estate context, understanding how to deal with an issue like an order to show cause matters, because it could mean that a landlord could toss you out in a divorce situation. Just because you have an order and a command to appear on a date does not mean that you have lost the right to the property and to not be evicted from it. But should it appear? Yes. If it is a legitimate claim, you’ll want to appear. If it isn’t, you need to show cause to explain why you aren’t responsible for rent or why you should not otherwise face removal from the property.

The danger that exists with the order to show cause is something we often see in the law. Let’s say you are going through a divorce, and your spouse receives an order, then uses it against you in the family court system. What might happen once your spouse shows cause why the order was being levied? Well, it might change custody of children. It might change child support: If you’re bringing in more income than was previously stated to the court, you could face changes to your alimony and child support.

What do I do if I have an order to show cause? If you have never been served with an order to show cause and need to figure out what to do with one, you are likely in a housing court situation. It can be a complex matter to deal with if you aren’t prepared. We suggest hiring an attorney who understands how to deal with an order to show cause housing court, and can help you understand the implications of such a legal instrument so you never have to experience a custody change or to deal with variations in your alimony and child support payments. Use a housing attorney in order to avoid future harm to your family.

Can I mess it up? If you do not understand what to do with an order, there’s a chance that you could. The order could be dismissed… and something more permanent could take its place. Before you let that happen, consult a family law or housing attorney who can help you navigate your situation and who can help you avoid permanent harm from a housing court order.

Filing for Legal Separation in Michigan

As a Pittsburgh-based legal professional, the issue of “how do I file for legal separation in Michigan?” has come up many times in my career. Today, we’ll cover the process of separating from your spouse in the state of Michigan, as well as how a compassionate and strong family law attorney can make this difficult transition just a little bit easier.

Though some people consider legal separation to be the same as a divorce, the truth is that a legal separation in Michigan is much different than a divorce. Legal separation allows you to remain ‘married’ for certain legal purposes, yet still maintains the integrity of your relationship and/or spousal status. Since the laws in Michigan dictate that a legal separation does not end a marriage, it’s just like getting a divorce with one very important difference: You are still married, even if you are separated from your spouse.

Why do some people choose legal separation over divorce? Since legal separation doesn’t end your marriage, it is mostly a matter of personal choice on how to handle the dissolution of your union. You may be considering legal separation if:

• Your faith does not recognize divorce as a possibility.
• You are not financially prepared to file for a divorce.
• You and your spouse want to remain married for legal purposes, yet do not wish to live in the marital home or together.
• You are unsure about the outcome of your situation, and wish to take some time before making the most difficult decision of your life.

The legal separation process in Michigan is nearly identical to the divorce process. There are restrictions, of course, as some of the basic divorce laws do not apply to separations, but most of the legal hoops are the same. When you do a legal separation in Michigan, you will still need to do the following:

• Determine what assets you have that are considered marital property.
• Handle the division of assets, debt, and bank accounts.
• Identify child custody issues.
• Establish child support and visitation arrangements.
• Handle property division and debt issues.
• Complete the required forms.

Michigan has a waiting period of at least 60 days before a legal separation can be finalized. During this time, both spouses live apart from each other, but are legally still married. In some cases, a marriage may require a reconciliation step after the separation that requires spouses to undergo family counseling before finalizing their legal separation.

Most states consider legal separation as the step between living together and divorce. In Michigan, however, there is no “official” separation. Though Michigan allows couples to legally divide their assets and obtain an official separation from each other, the state does not consider a legal separation as a divorce. Still, the legal separation approach is a common one for individuals who don’t want to dive into the divorce process yet, but still need to separate from their spouse.

To navigate the legal separation process in Michigan, you must go through similar steps that you would for filing a divorce. First, you’ll have to fill out a petition, which you can file in the local circuit court. After filing this petition, you’ll be required to wait for at least 60 days or longer (depending on the circumstances) before you and your spouse can enter into a final agreement.

A couple of key issues specific to Michigan:

• In Michigan, some family law rules differ from state-to-state. For example, the waiting period for legal separation (a minimum of 60 days) is longer than the waiting period for divorce (a minimum of 60 days). Michigan also considers legal separation as something separate from divorce in order to allow legal separation for assets and debts without finalizing the divorce.
• If you or your spouse owns a business, you should consult with a family law and business attorney to determine how your business will be affected by the divorce or separation process.

Family law attorneys are available to guide you through the separation process, as well as the divorce process once separation isn’t working out as you imagined. If you think you might want to dissolve your marriage in Michigan, consulting with a family law attorney is strongly advised. At Scott L. Levine, we recognize that no one enters into a legal separation or divorce case expecting it to be a pleasant experience for all involved. Our goal is to help our clients get through to the other side of the process with as little pain as possible and able to move on with their lives once the divorce is finalized.

A legal separation in Michigan can help you avoid extenuating circumstances such as abuse, child neglect, and/or financial strain. Family law professionals at Scott L. Levine work hard to create legal separation arrangements that are fair for everyone involved. We strongly recommend you contact our team directly to see how we can help. We offer free consultations for separation and divorce.

Going through divorce and child custody struggles can be one of the most overwhelming phases in anyone’s life. From understanding the legal terminology to navigating complicated emotional turns, the complexities can be endless. But sometimes, the guide you need might be hidden in plain sight – like the rules of employment established by the AAA. Individuals going through a divorce and custody phase often find themselves with complex employment and pay structures in place. Knowing the The AAA Employment Rules could give you a good starting point for understanding your battle.

What exactly do the AAA Employment Rules of Procedure do? Simply put, they offer rules and guidelines around neutral processes for parties to help settle disputes. These guidelines can apply to a wide range of employment instances including contractual agreements, wage and hour issues, and wrongful termination, amongst others. These rules are published by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and provide a solid framework for understanding how employment laws work in any setting.

But what’s the connection between these rules and family law? General The AAA Employment Rules are not directly relevant to family law cases unless the divorce case intersects with employment.

When Do Employment Rules Apply To Divorce & Custody Cases?

Here are some possible scenarios where the employment rules might intersect with the core divorce or child custody processes.

Do Employment Rules Impact Custody Determinations?

It’s unlikely that these rules would impact custody determinations. While they may factor into something like alimony, they generally wouldn’t influence the outcome of how custody is determined in a divorce or separation setting.

How Could An Understanding Of These Rules Help You Navigate Parenting/Divorce?

For individuals navigating through a divorce or separation, an understanding of The AAA Employment Rules could offer some context into what framework the judge is operating under when making decisions regarding alimony/child support.

Could These Rules Impact Payments In Divorce?

While it’s unlikely that the AAA guidelines would directly impact the payments in a divorce scaling structure, they could offer some basic insights. Rules like how wages can be attached to enforce payments could come into play when deciding how to make the greatest impact on the overall financial situation of the divorce or separation.

Do Past Cases Offer Insight?

If there is a pattern of ruling within the jurisdiction, that can certainly offer some insight into the likely outcome of a family law proceeding. Financial discussions could also be influenced by these rulings if the judge tends to lean toward certain adjudications.

Finding Help In Your Family Law Matter

No two family law matters are cut and dry. If you are unsure if the AAA Employment Rules apply to your specific situation, don’t hesitate to read over the guidelines provided on the website. It’s also a good idea to obtain counsel from a professional experienced in reviewing these types of circumstances to determine if your employment issues will make an impact on the child custody or divorce matters at hand.

Individuals who work as independent contractors must comply with specific guidelines that relate to how they work, how much control they have over their work, and how they are compensated. In Nevada, independent contractors have more responsibilities than employees in some ways, such as paying their own tax expenses. However, employees also have protections under Nevada’s laws for wage, meal, and rest breaks. Independent contractors have fewer protections, and the ones that do exist are less comprehensive.

The Nevada Department of Business and Industry outlines the relevant laws for independent contractors. These include: The Relevance of Nevada Independent Contractor Laws in Family Law Cases. As the website for the state shows, Nevada independent contractor laws can be very specific, dictating how independent contractors should operate and the obligations that they must meet. Although this is important for those who perform independent work, it can also be important to family law cases in Nevada.

Alimony calculations can be affected by whether a person has been paid on an independent contractor basis, while child support payments can also be influenced. Reasons for this include that if some of a person’s income is unrelated to his or her day time job, then that person may not have as much money coming in as originally thought. Child support payments are intended to account for the overall financial situation of a parent, so nontraditional jobs can impact this outcome. For this reason, independent contractors need to be transparent with their income under Nevada family law.

Spousal support calculations are also influenced by whether wages were earned by the individual who is seeking alimony. For instance, someone who has a side business as an independent contractor may not get a higher amount of spousal support than someone who did not have that additional source of income. This is also true for child support payments. Nevada courts will consider all forms of income when making a decision about alimony awards and other decisions that are made in a Nevada family law case.

Child support calculations are another reason why having a family law attorney is important for parents in a divorce or child support case. Someone who is being paid on an independent contractor basis, for example, may misunderstand where certain pay is coming from. In some cases, parents can argue that a portion of their income is not from their day job and is from a different source. Having an attorney can help ensure that there is no confusion about how pay is made and where it goes.

Is It Time for a Discussion About Employee vs. Contractor Status? Child support calculations and alimony calculations can be influenced by whether a person has been classified as an employee or as an independent contractor under Nevada law. If your contractor status changes, you could find that you and your ex or soon-to-be-ex should explore modifying your agreements. In addition to paying attention to these laws if you decide to change your employment classification in the future, however, it’s essential that you understand them now.

Beyond issues of employment classification, you should also track what is considered independent work income. This includes expenses that are incurred and not covered by the employer, other taxes, and more. Keeping records is important for your potential case.

Knowing that these rules can have a significant role in how your family law matters are resolved, it is crucial to work with a family law attorney who understands how these laws apply to independent contractors within the state. Most of the requirements that apply to independent contractors are complex, and so are family law cases. Working with an experienced Nevada family law attorney can help you get the best results for your case.

Contractor laws in Nevada may affect ongoing family law matters in several ways. For example, if there is a dispute in a divorce proceeding about whether a spouse is to be considered an employee or an independent contractor, the court may look into how the person was classified before making its ruling. Further, if this independent contractor status significantly impacts spousal support payments or child support payments, or if it affects custody in some way, an attorney can help.

Understanding Non Compete Agreements in Family Law

Does your family situation require you to seek the guidance of a comprehensive non compete and non solicitation agreement and family law attorney in Chicago? Considering divorce proceedings or custody issues? If so, continue reading to see how hiring an Attorney will help you. While there are many different ways of dealing with these types of contracts, there is very little doubt that being open about your obligations and previous contractual agreements with an attorney and your spouse are the best options.

What Are Non Compete Agreements?

The first step to understanding how non compete agreements impact your family law case is to know what they actually are. A non compete agreement will usually be enforced by a company once you leave your job. As such, you will not be able to work for one of their direct competitors or even start a similar business based on your findings at the employment agreement. These agreements may also be known as:

• Non-Solicitation Agreements
• Confidentiality Agreements
• Non-Piracy Agreements

Covenants not to Compete (non compete agreements) have been around for a long time and exist in almost every industry, from direct salespersons to lawyers and doctors. The length, type, and scope of these contracts can vary quite a bit and are judged on every occasion independently by a judge in a court.

How Are Non Compete Agreements Related to Family Law?

In fact, covenants not to compete are becoming more common and would be all the harder to deal with for a family law case. In many cases, a non compete agreement will stipulate that the employee cannot work within a certain distance of their former employer. This poses a big problem if your spouse receives a promotion and a new job offer that is further away. One of the biggest struggles for a judge during a divorce proceeding is handling the other spouses’ agreement and obligations post-employment. This is why simple negotiations between attorneys prior to a divorce is often encouraged. Your attorney and your spouse’s attorney can get together to discuss any restrictions that would impact the case. You should never be surprised with this agreement as one spouse often is. They are supposed to be handled during the negotiation process and only come out in the court room if no proper response is given by the other attorney.

Could A Child Custody Arrangement Be Impacted By These Agreements?

As mentioned above, a non compete agreement can stipulate that you are not able to start a business if it would compete against your former employers; however, they can also stop you from working with former employers clients. You could be restricted from working with these clients for a few year at a time which could mean that you do not have the business you need to support yourself in a divorce. On top of this, these restrictive contracts could also affect how much money your child support ends up being. Your paycheck will be maxed out and reported to the spouse if you are making less than what you deserve. This means that the other parent could request less of a percentage during the judge meeting.

Potential Options and Solutions

That the case, you must be open about all agreements and obligations to your attorney before proceeding with a case. You have a lot going on with divorce proceedings and child custody arrangements, but failing to disclose information will only complicate matters. Consider taking a look at this article – The Lowdown on Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements by Stephen Kneale to see how these agreements could impact your divorce and custody proceedings. You should also prepare to negotiate an agreement during a settlement process. In many cases, attorneys will work together to figure out the best solution.

Speaking broadly, ghost dope laws serve to codify an understanding that drug dealers can’t be in possession of controlled substances while still possessing the paraphernalia needed to deal drugs; in other words, they can’t both possess the drugs and the tools of the drug trade. Ghost dope laws, however, are not limited to drugs.

The phrase comes from the fact that the word ‘dope’ is often used as a substitute for ‘drugs’, so a ghost dope – in their popular form – is girlfriend who is a drug dealer’s accomplice. The problem, however, is that it would also apply to other instances of keeping/selling illegal goods (or crimes more generally). Often, ghost dope laws are used in money laundering cases. Imagine that a man is selling hot TVs out of a small garage. This man is smart, so to avoid drawing attention to himself and his illicit goods, he purchases a new trailer and boards it up with TV crates inside. In doing this, he has both the items to conduct his business and the tools (by way of the trailer) to do his business without getting caught. This man is an example of a ghost dope case.

Interestingly, ghost dope laws are not even limited to possession. Take, for example, a drug possession criminal case like a DUI. Often times, when a person is arrested for DUI, the police officer administering the blood test will ask the driver whether he or she drank before getting in the car. The answer to this question can have drastic implications for how the case is decided. If a driver admits to drinking prior to driving the car, his blood alcohol level can (and likely will) be used against him during a trial or plea bargain. If a driver doesn’t admit to drinking, he or she could receive a lower payment or lesser sentence.

Because ghost dope laws can result in increased penalties or sentences, they should be taken seriously. In fact, they should be understood and appreciated given the high stakes involved.

For example, a drunk driving sentence will usually be a minimum of 60 days if convicted, but a ghost dope conviction could result in a year of prison time or more (note that these laws differ slightly based on the state where the crime took place). Rarely, however, do people understand the precedent of ghost dope laws and unwittingly find themselves to be ghost dopers.

This is especially troubling for dedicated criminal defense attorneys who must defend clients who are unaware they’ve committed a serious crime. For example, in recent years, the American Bar Association has reported a growing trend of people being tricked into committing ghost dope crimes. In one recent case, a man was charged with aggravated robbery when he stole a person’s car under the impression he was repossessing it. Knowing that the felony charges would quickly land him behind bars, the man fled the parking lot, only to be subsequently arrested by police officers at another location and charged with the crime. This man believed he was repossessing the vehicle legally based on the statements of the man holding him at gunpoint.

Beyond knowing what constitutes a ghost dope crime, there’s little that a criminal defendant can do to defend himself or herself. Prosecutors are generally unwilling to listen to pleas of ignorance, and accommodating jury members often report that they do not sympathize with ghost dope offenders. In fact, juries often hand down rare and extreme punishments for ghost dope crimes. In another recent case, a heavy metal guitarist was convicted of ghost dope crimes after his live-in girlfriend unknowingly stored his drugs and motorcycle tools in their apartment storage unit. The guitarist was given a lifetime prison sentence, but later had his conviction overturned.

When it comes to family law cases, an understanding of ghost dope laws is critical. In divorce and child custody cases, hidden drug convictions by one parent can affect the outcome of a custody battle – even if the parent isn’t actually using the drugs in question. With this in mind, if you’re involved in a family law case and fear you or your spouse may have been involved in a ghost dope crime, contact an experienced attorney today. You could be able to have previous allegations thrown out of court if you apply for an appeal within a specified period of time.

The Pennsylvania criminal defense attorneys of Scott L. Levine & Associates understand the unique challenges that all family law cases can present. We believe you deserve compassionate counsel. You deserve a lawyer who only looks out for your best interest. With a deep understanding of ghost dope laws and hands-on experience with custody battles involving them, we’re ready to help.
