Focused Family Law Representation for Butler County
Butler County is part of Pennsylvania’s Sixth Judicial District, where family law matters are handled through the Butler County Court of Common Pleas. While the law is statewide, each county has its own procedures, expectations, and practical nuances. Working with a firm that understands how these cases move locally can make a meaningful difference in both timing and outcome.
Notaro Family Law Group, P.C. represents clients throughout Butler County who are ready to move forward with experienced legal guidance. Whether you are preparing for divorce, working through a custody dispute, or trying to resolve a complex financial issue, we provide clear direction and a structured approach from the very beginning.

- Access their case file and important documents
- Review scheduled events and deadlines

Choose from Two Types of Consultation Options
Not every individual contacting a family law firm is at the same stage. Some are seeking initial direction, while others are ready for legal advice based on the specific facts of their situation. Notaro Family Law Group, P.C. offers two consultation options designed to reflect those different needs and provide the appropriate level of guidance at the right time.
Free Informational Calls
The informational call is intended for individuals who are still determining how to proceed. We will gather an overview of your situation, answer general questions, and help identify the type of appointment or attorney that may be appropriate. While this call does not involve legal advice, it serves as a practical first step in understanding your options and next steps.
Paid Planning Sessions
The planning session is a formal consultation with an attorney and is designed for individuals seeking legal advice specific to their circumstances. During this meeting, the attorney reviews the facts of your case in detail and provides guidance based on applicable law and strategy. An attorney-client relationship is established at this stage, allowing for confidential, case-specific analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a divorce cost?
It depends on the type of divorce. For example, a paperwork-only divorce may be available at a lower, defined cost, while uncontested or mediated divorces typically fall into a mid-range fixed or structured fee. Contested cases, where issues like custody or assets are disputed, are handled based on the time required and can vary significantly depending on complexity.
Do you offer flat-fee divorce or mediation services?
Yes. Certain services are offered at fixed rates. For example, mediation services are available at a defined fee, which includes a set amount of time and preparation of a mediated agreement. Some uncontested divorce options and limited-scope services may also be handled at a set cost, depending on the situation.
How much does it cost to get started with Notaro Family Law Group, P.C.?
There is no cost to schedule an initial informational call. If you want legal advice specific to your situation, a planning session with an attorney is required. These sessions typically range from about $95 to $425, depending on the scope of what needs to be reviewed.
Can I hire the firm just for part of my case?
Yes. Some matters can be handled on a limited basis, such as document preparation, reviewing agreements, or assisting with specific steps in the process. Other cases require full representation, especially when court involvement or ongoing disputes are involved. The appropriate approach depends on the details of your situation.
How long does a family law case typically take in Butler County?
Timelines vary depending on the type of case and the level of agreement between the parties. An uncontested divorce can still take a few months due to Pennsylvania’s required waiting periods, while contested matters involving custody or finances can take significantly longer.
What should I bring or prepare before speaking with an attorney?
It helps to have a basic understanding of your financial situation and any existing court orders. Relevant documents may include recent tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, property information, and any custody or support orders already in place. Even if everything is not available yet, having an outline of your situation allows for a more productive discussion.
