Since 2015, child custody attorney Robert Greenberg of Greenberg Legal Group has helped parents just like you navigate child custody laws and protect their parental rights. Your ability to see and care for your children is of prime importance, and Robert Greenberg will work continually to ensure your voice as a parent is heard and respected.

Robert Greenberg Will Help Protect Your Family

Robert Greenberg of Greenberg Legal Group received his JD from the University of Maryland. Now, he works with Pennsylvania parents undergoing a divorce, ensuring they understand and can navigate the State’s child custody laws and protect their children at every step.

Pennsylvania child custody laws prioritize the “best interests of the child”, based on several criteria, including their safety, freedom from abuse and risk of harm, and the preservation of sibling and other family relationships.

Recent updates to Pennsylvania law, including an August 2025 revision, have further clarified these standards while expanding the factors courts consider. Added considerations include parental cooperation and concerns related to parental alienation.

This added focus on relationships makes it especially important to ensure you have an experienced, attentive, and caring child custody and visitation lawyer on your side, who can help a court understand your strengths and the background of your relationship with your children.
What Types Of Child Custody Exist In Pennsylvania?

There are several custody arrangements that may be agreed upon by parents or ordered by a judge in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania family courts distinguish between legal custody and physical custody.

Legal custody refers to your rights to have a say in decisions that impact your child, such as where they go to school and the medical care they receive. Physical custody refers to your right to have your child live with you all of or some of the time. Pennsylvania recognizes five types of physical custody…

• Sole physical custody. This means that only one parent has the legal right to have your child live with them.
• Primary physical custody. This gives one parent the right to house and care for your child most of the time.
• Shared physical custody means that both parties can have your child live with them on a roughly equal basis. For example, one week with you and the next week with the other parent.
• Partial physical custody. This gives one parent the right to limited physical custody, such as for a few hours a week or every other weekend.
• Supervised visitation. This means that a parent has the right to visit with their child, so long as a third party is present.

Determining how physical custody will be shared can be quite complex, and your parental rights should be respected, alongside what is best for your child. Robert Greenberg will help you work proactively with the other party to reach a custody resolution. Should you have more serious concerns, such as abuse or neglect, Greenberg Legal Group will go above and beyond to protect your child, as well.
