This handy, soft-cover book offers attorneys both the practical recommendations needed to confidently handle support cases and the legal authority—cases, statutes, and rules—needed to research, understand, and advocate the legal issues that arise in the case. The main portion of the text contains practice pointers, author commentary, and case summaries on the full timeline of a case, from first contact, through negotiations and settlement, and trial and post-trial motions and appeals.


Important Note: In addition to published court opinions, this publication also contains Non-Precedential Memoranda Opinions. These Memoranda Opinions have taken on a new importance. Beginning with cases dated May 1, 2019 and later, Non-Precedential Memoranda Opinions of the PA Superior Court may be cited for persuasive authority.
