Whether it's regarding adoption, child custody, divorce and legal separation, or property settlements, you want an experienced lawyer to guide you through the process.


When your marriage has ended, the emotions that naturally come can make it difficult to objectively determine what’s in your best interests. Should you fight for custody of your minor children? Is spousal support or alimony appropriate? How will you fairly divide the debts and assets of the marriage? When you face the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with divorce, you want an experienced lawyer to guide you through the process. We can make certain your rights are protected as you move forward with your life.

At Black & Davison Law Group, in Chambersburg, we’ve protected the rights of men and women in Pennsylvania since 1959. Over the last 55 years, we’ve worked with more than 20,000 clients, helping them find effective solutions to challenging family law issues. We know from experience that every divorce is different, so we’ll take the time to learn the specific details of your situation, so that we can formulate the best strategy to get the outcome you want. It’s our goal with every client to establish a long-term relationship built on trust and effective legal counsel.

Divorce and Family Law Practice

We work with men and women at every stage of a divorce, from the decision to file through mediation or negotiated settlements to trial, if necessary. We can also help you with post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of a divorce decree.


Our attorneys handle all matters related to divorce, including:

  • Child Custody and Visitation — We’ll help you craft custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your minor children while protecting your rights as a parent
  • Child Support — We’ll review any proposed child support order for compliance with Pennsylvania guidelines and to confirm that all income has been included in the calculation
  • Alimony or Spousal Support — We’ll help you determine whether spousal support in necessary and, if so, how much should be paid and for how long
  • Property Division — We’ll help you equitably divide the debts and assets of your marriage, including real and personal property, bank and investment accounts, retirement plans and business assets
  • We advise individuals who are considering a legal separation instead of divorce. We also work with unmarried couples and with same-sex couples.
