Outcome: Helped client remove herself and her children from marital residence where they were subjected to physical and emotional abuse from husband/father. We also obtained a Divorce settlement that was fair and fully aligned with our client’s new beginnings and needs. History: Our client, who was married to an abusive husband with whom she had children, sought to protect herself and her children from further abuse while seeking custody and divorce. She feared physical retaliation from husband if and when she attempted to leave him. She also worried she would not have enough money to meet her children’s needs. We worked closely with her to provide a comprehensive solution that included a safe evacuation plan as well as a breakdown of financial needs and expected child and spousal support. Our total strategy for this client enabled her to leave the abusive environment without incident; and with the security of relocating to a safe place for her and her children. We also identified the child and spousal support incomes expected from her settlement so she could be confident in her ability to provide for her family. Subsequent actions for child custody, and child and spousal support were also successful and exceeded our client’s expectations in each case. 2015 Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, PA Tibbott & Richardson 1040 Fifth Avenue, Fourth Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15219 (412) 444-7171 https://www.tibbottrichardson.com/
