Announcements

Judy Hayman is now an approved parenting coordinator by the Bucks County Family Court after completing all requisite training under Pennsylvania's new rule, which went into effect March 1.

The parenting coordination program was reinstated by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and allows the court to appoint a parenting coordinator to resolve parenting issues arising from the custody order issued in a case.

The parenting coordinator may address issues such as transitions between households, variations from the parenting plan for special events, school issues, childcare arrangements, extracurricular activities and other matters related to implementing the parenting plan.

Hayman is a shareholder in the firm's family law practice group.

She has more than 10 years of experience in all aspects of family and matrimonial law, including child custody, divorce, equitable distribution, prenuptial agreements, property settlement agreements, protection from abuse and child support.

In addition to traditional litigation representation for family law issues, Hayman provides alternative dispute resolution services to clients, and she is trained in collaborative law and mediation.
