CUSTODY At Joseph V. Luvara & Associates, we are dedicated to acting with complete integrity in child custody and support negotiations, because these tend to be the most emotional and because they surround the future of the children. Striving for detailed and workable solutions in the best interests of the child (and the parents), our position is that we know that such agreements stand up better over time. However, if litigation is necessary, we are strong advocates for your rights. It is important to understand that deciding issues regarding child custody, the Pennsylvania courts will consider many factors including the preference of the child, the mental and physical health of the parents, the relationship between the child, the parents, and any siblings, and a number of other pertinent factors.
