Cheryl L. Young advises clients, especially high net-worth professionals, in complex legal issues involving custody agreements, relocations, divorces, property distribution, support and adoption.
Many business owners, executives, start-up owners or those in managerial positions can encounter particularly tricky questions when it comes to the dissolution of their marriage or establishment of custody arrangements, whether parties are negotiating financial arrangements involving income from multiple sources or disputing location and relocation plans. No matter the situation, Cheryl provides experienced guidance, with the ability to consider all perspectives and provide a balanced opinion about the client’s best options for resolution.
She strives to resolve conflicts fairly and efficiently, often using arbitration and mediation, but is willing to litigate when necessary. Cheryl successfully litigated a landmark family law case involving the equitable distribution of frozen embryos following a couple’s divorce, leading to the client being awarded the embryos, which were successfully implanted. She is a staunch advocate for her clients who negotiates aggressively to get the best possible outcome.
A Fellow of the Pennsylvania Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and chair of the firm’s Family Law Group, Cheryl is known within the family law bar for a practical, straightforward approach, as well as her integrity in dealings with opposing counsel, the courts and other individuals.
