Criminal Justice Reform in Pennsylvania

Carla Risoldi, a family law and criminal defense lawyer in Pennsylvania, has managed her own practice, Risoldi Law Offices, LLC, since 1994. An accomplished lawyer, Carla Risoldi has experience with cases involving DUI/DWI, drug offenses, felonies, and other misdemeanors. In Pennsylvania, criminal law has recently changed to reflect the idea that people should get a second chance to move on from their criminal histories, in certain situations.

Interestingly, most people in the state agree that current statutes would further penalize those previously convicted of minor crimes simply by making it difficult to find housing and employment. In fact, many find that a “tough on crime” mentality leads to a higher recidivism rates. And worse yet, it creates an atmosphere where released inmates are penalized for far longer than they are sentenced, often due to harsh terms of post-release parole, which makes them guaranteed to fail. To address this issue, legislatures have proposed laws that reduce the challenges that many former inmates face after being released as well as who can access criminal histories of those convicted of minor. misdemeanor, crimes.

The Clean Slate Act, passed recently, allows those convicted of misdemeanors to have their records sealed after 10 years, provided they do not re-offend and have paid down court-related debt. In addition to having no new convictions, there are other prior convictions which could bar this Clean Slate law applying.

Those who were arrested but not convicted could always petition to have their arrest records, including their photograph and fingerprints formally expunged, but now, under this new law, even absent such an expungement being petitioned for and ordered by the court, the arrest records will be sealed from public view.

Pennsylvania’s probation laws are next on the state legislature’s agenda. In an attempt to address probation laws that are too punitive and increase prison return rates because of technical violations, the legislature is looking to reduce punishments on technical violations. Furthermore, lawmakers seek to cap probationary terms reducing felony probation sentences to five years and misdemeanor sentences to three years.

Someone who is facing a criminal charge should always consult with an experienced attorney as the consequences, even of a minor case, can have long-lasting and unforeseen consequences.

How Is Child Support Calculated in Pennsylvania?

The solo practitioner at Risoldi Law Offices, LLC in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, Carla Risoldi handles family law and criminal defense matters in and around Bucks, Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania, and Mercer, Burlington and Hunterdon Counties in New Jersey. Over the course of more than two decades, Carla Risoldi has become familiar with a range of legal matters, including child support.

Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey determine child support awards primarily based upon the “support guidelines” and child support is usually awarded to either the primary custodial parent, the parent that has the children more than 50 percent of the time in a 2-week period, or the parent that makes less money when custody is shared.

The amount that a parent receives in child support is based on a specific mathematical formula that takes into account four main factors: the number of children, the custody schedule, additional costs of caring for children, and the incomes of both parents. To assist with this, the state maintains a chart indicating the total support amount based on parent incomes and number of children. However, determination of support is more than simply a mathematics calculation as the court will also consider other factors, such as the earning potential of a parent, medical insurance costs for the children, payment or receipt of alimony or spousal support, costs relating to the home of the custodian, the age of the children, extraordinary expenses and other factors so it is important to have an attorney who really knows the “ins and outs” of the law.

Carla Risoldi has this experience and can assist with preparing for the support process, usually having calculated numerous possible scenarios even before walking into the courthouse. With that preparation, she is ready and able to make the strongest arguments on behalf of her clients, based on the particular facts of the client’s case as applied to the current law of the jurisdiction.
