The Family Law Committee, through the generosity of the WBA, awarded a $500.00 stipend to DeAnn McCoy, to attend the PBA Family Law Section Summer Meeting in Baltimore, MD, July 17-20, 2008. The purpose of the subsidy was to provide a first time attendee/young lawyer the opportunity to participate in the state bar function, and to increase and enhance the delegation of Westmoreland County lawyers attending the event. It was awarded to DeAnn based on her interest in expanding her knowledge of and practice in family law.
The WBA Family Law Committee is the first Family Law Committee in Pennsylvania to make such a "scholarship" award. Other attendees at the meeting from Westmoreland County were Committee Chairs Abby De Blassio and Michael J. Stewart, as well as Bruce Tobin, Michele and Eric Bononi, and Sandra Davis.
The Committee is presently considering the changes to the Pennsylvania Support Guidelines pending in the Domestic Relations Procedural Rules Committee. Copies of the proposed changes are available at the WBA Headquarters. Substantial changes are proposed, including the expansion of the guidelines to include families with monthly net incomes of up to $30,000 per month, and a formula to address support in cases formerly calculated pursuant to the Melzer case. Comments are to be submitted to the Procedural Rules Committee by October 31.
