Family Law

On May 4, 2018, Senate Bill 844 was signed into law.   This law gives grandparents and third-parties clarification in custody matters of minor children.  The intent of this law was to help children that have parents that are involved with drugs and the criminal justice system.  I believe the Courts will see  an increase in custody filings because of this new law.  Please contact the Law Office of Natalie Burston if you are interested in filing a custody matter in the state of Pennsylvania.  You might now have the ability to initiate a custody action when you previously did not have standing to initiate a filing.
