What We Do
The Divorce Masters Office is part of the Family
Law Division of the Court of Common Pleas. Hearing Masters are appointed
by the court to conduct hearings and make recommendations in divorce cases where the parties have
been unable to resolve issues involving fault divorce, irretrievable breakdown
of the marriage, distribution of property, alimony, or related economic claims.
Claims for alimony pendente lite (temporary alimony paid prior to the entry of
a divorce decree) are filed with the Divorce Masters
Office, although some are then referred to the Domestic Relations Office.

The Divorce Masters Office
does not provide legal advice or represent individual parties in divorce
actions. Those seeking advice or representation should contact the
'Attorney Connection,' also known as
the
Lawyer
Referral Service of the York County Bar Association.
Inquiries about the status of particular divorce actions and requests for copies
of divorce decrees should be directed to the
Prothonotary.
