Personalized Services

Services Tailored to Your Needs

Divorce is rarely one thing. It is the family home, the retirement accounts, the custody schedule, the support calculations, and a hundred decisions in between — and no two families navigate it the same way. At Zell Divorce Solutions, every aspect of the process is handled under one roof, by one attorney who knows your full picture. There are no tiers, no preset bundles, and no services withheld based on what you pay. Only the work your situation actually requires, approached with the full attention it deserves.

Marital Settlement Agreements

The marital settlement agreement is the foundation of your divorce — the legally binding document that governs the division of your assets, debts, property, and financial future. At Zell Divorce Solutions, no agreement is templated or rushed. Every clause is negotiated with purpose, reviewed for accuracy, and reality-tested against your actual financial picture before it is ever put to paper.

Because both parties are fully informed throughout the process, these agreements are thorough, durable, and rarely challenged. They are built to hold up — not just in the short term, but for the years ahead.

Parenting Plans & Custody

A parenting plan is not a custody arrangement — it is a blueprint for how two people will raise their children through everything life brings after divorce. School schedules, holidays, vacations, medical decisions, extracurriculars, communication between homes. The more detail it contains, the fewer conflicts arise later.

Sandra asks to see photos of your children at the first consultation. She uses their names throughout the process. She knows that both parents love their kids — and that finding common ground there is where the best agreements are built.

Child Support Calculations

Child support in Pennsylvania is determined by a specific formula — but the inputs to that formula matter enormously. Custody percentages, income verification, childcare costs, healthcare premiums, and extraordinary expenses all factor in. Getting the numbers right from the start protects both the children and the financial stability of each household.

Sandra walks both parties through every calculation transparently so that each person fully understands the figures before they agree to them — not after.

Alimony & Spousal Support

Alimony is one of the most emotionally charged and legally nuanced aspects of any divorce. Pennsylvania does not follow a fixed formula — it weighs the length of the marriage, each party's earning capacity, standard of living, contributions made, and a range of other factors. That flexibility can be a source of conflict, or it can be an opportunity to craft something genuinely fair.

At Zell Divorce Solutions, alimony is negotiated with both parties' futures in mind — not just what seems right today, but what is sustainable and realistic over time.

Division of Marital Assets

Pennsylvania is an equitable distribution state — meaning assets are divided fairly, not necessarily equally. What is "fair" depends entirely on the circumstances of your marriage, your finances, and your future needs. That determination requires honesty, full disclosure, and a trusted guide who can help both parties see the full picture clearly.

No one leaves the negotiating table holding an asset they cannot actually afford to keep. Every decision is reality-tested against the full financial picture — with the help of Sandra's network of CDFAs, appraisers, and mortgage professionals when needed.

Post-Divorce Services

Life changes. Jobs change. Children grow. Relationships evolve. An agreement that made perfect sense at the time of divorce may need to be revisited as circumstances shift — and that process does not have to mean going back to court.

Sandra helps clients who have existing agreements navigate modifications with the same care and transparency as the original process.

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): This service involves drafting a formal document that outlines the mutual agreements between parties, ensuring clarity and understanding for outside attorneys to reply upon when drafting the parties' marital settlement agreement.
Parenting Agreement/Custody/Child Support Agreements and Modifications: We assist in creating and modifying legal agreements that define custody arrangements and child support obligations, tailored to the unique needs of the family.
Post-Divorce Co-Parenting Mediations: Our mediations provide a structured environment for divorced parents to resolve disputes and establish effective co-parenting plans that prioritize the well-being of their children.
Attorney Review of Prenuptial Agreements, Postnuptial Agreements and Marital Settlement Agreements: After the parties have completed their draft of their MSA elsewhere, we offer a comprehensive review of that agreement as an advocate for one party to ensure he or she understands the terms, his or her interests are protected, and highlight any areas of concern.
Attorney Guidance during Separation: Providing essential guidance throughout the separation process, helping individuals navigate their rights and responsibilities effectively.
