A Closer Look at the Firm and its History
The firm was founded in 2010 when Mark A. Momjian and his late partner, Stephen J. Anderer, left a regional, full-service firm to form their own firm practicing exclusively family law. They recruited some of their former colleagues and fellow leaders in the field of family law to join them, and together, built a successful, thriving practice dedicated to the practice of all areas of family law. Sadly, the firm lost Stephen Anderer when he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in 2016. The firm remains dedicated to his work and keeping his memory alive.
Our attorneys have extensive experience with all types of family law and related cases. These include all aspects of divorce, valuation and property distribution, child custody and relocation, child support and alimony, as well as premarital and postnuptial agreements, paternity and domestic violence, and enforcement and special relief issues. We pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge of family law, and we have specialized knowledge of the issues relating to representing the LGBTQ community, domestic partnerships, civil unions, reproductive technology, electronic surveillance, and social media issues. Our attorneys have handled pioneering cases in Pennsylvania, including successfully defending the constitutionality of the Grandparents' Visitation Act before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, successfully arguing the first appellate case in the United States in which a non-biological parent was directed to pay child support to her former domestic partner, and representing a spouse who received one of the highest support awards in the Commonwealth. We have represented clients in the upper echelons of the business, professional, sports and entertainment communities and their spouses, and we understand the complex compensation and valuation issues that arise in their cases. We also appreciate the particular discretion such representation demands.
Our attorneys have been recognized in Best Lawyers in America and as Pennsylvania Super Lawyers and Rising Stars. We hold leadership roles in our bar associations. Our attorneys have written a leading treatise on Pennsylvania family law, seminal publications on competency determination and law for mental health professionals, and scores of articles for national and local law reviews, journals, and newspapers. We frequently lecture on family law topics for professional organizations, law schools, and other educational institutions.
We have represented clients in more than twenty-five judicial districts throughout the Commonwealth, and we have served as consultants and have been admitted pro hac vice in other states.
