General practitioners are always in the fast lane, dabbling in multiple practice areas, jumping from case to case and struggling to stay on top of changes in the law. They are quite literally always on the go, running to client consultations, court appearances, and depositions. The one constant is the expectations of each client: general practitioners are expected to know and understand every new development that may impact an open case.
Rare is the general practitioner who doesn’t deal with family law matters. In this excerpt from PBI’s 2011 General Practitioners’ Update, our faculty members discuss recent major changes to Pennsylvania`s Custody Act which affect the role of guardians, standing of parties, and relocation of children. They consider recent important amendments to the Adoption Law which allow parties to enter into voluntary post-adoption contact agreements. Our panelists also bring you up to date on recent court decisions in the areas of dependency, custody, support, equitable distribution, alimony, and much more.
