Family Law Issues

Child Custody

Facing the legal complexities of divorce can be an emotionally exhausting and stressful process. If you are a parent, at some point, you and your ex-spouse will be required to address the topic of child custody. Because this decision involves the future of your child and the relationship that you will have with them in the years to come, this can be one of the most difficult topics in a divorce.

Child Support

It is the parents’ obligation to support their children until the age of emancipation; sometimes beyond. In New York, parents must support their children until the age of 21. Divorcing parents must address child support unless they have come to a just and fair agreement outside of court that mitigates the impact of the split on the life of the child.

Child Visitation

When a child is involved in a divorce, the matter is complicated and emotional. The goal of all parties should be to mitigate the effects of the divorce on the child’s life. It is important for the custody arrangement to help the child maintain the best sense of normalcy possible. Continuing with the commitment to the best interests of the child, child visitation may be an important topic after a divorce.

Adoption

Adoption is a wonderful process that brings people together. Whether a family is opening their hearts and homes to a child in need or a family member wants to formalize a relationship, adoption is a kind and fantastic undertaking. One of the pleasures of being Suffolk County family law attorneys is providing legal services to those who engage in the adoption process.

Domestic Violence

New York State is proactive and aggressive towards the subject of domestic violence. Over the years, almost every state has revisited domestic violence laws to protect the rights of the victim and help them get the help they need. New York is no exception.

Fathers’ Rights

Mothers and fathers have equal rights to their children. If the mother of your child is fighting to take away your paternal rights, contact our firm for immediate representation. We have helped a wide variety of families and individuals attain the outcome that they desire and we are fully prepared to handle your case next.

Post-Judgment

When a divorce is complete, orders handed down by the court must be followed. It is imperative that you do as the court mandates or you could face further legal issues. Courts understand their limitations to make decisions on the facts in front of them and are open to requests for modifications. Furthermore, courts are available to help if one party ignores an order and the other needs help to enforce it.

Relocation

Relocation can be one of the most significant post-divorce legal issues. When children are involved in a divorce, the matter is complicated. All parties work to mitigate the effects of the split on the child or children.

Prenuptial Agreements 

Though no one wants to think about the end of a marriage before it even begins, it is important to take steps to protect one’s assets. Clients going through a divorce may find themselves battling over issues like alimony and property distribution. However, a prenuptial agreement can let a budding relationship focus on the important things.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I hired Susan to represent me in a divorce matter where I was fighting for custody and to limit my wife's equitable share of our assets. I won custody of our son, kept the marital residence, kept my professional practice, kept my building and paid less than half to my wife. This was after a long-term marriage. She could persuade the court that equitable is not equal and sometimes the man does deserve to win!

‐ Dave

I first must say that I had been represented by two prior attorneys both of whom had simply taken my money and left me nothing to show for it in my custody case. They kept telling me what they were doing for me but I found out they were lying. Susan on the other hand had gotten me temporary custody and support for my children and myself within two months of hiring her. I cannot say enough about her.

‐ Craig

After talking to a few other attorneys, I hired Susan to represent me in my divorce and custody dispute. I was reluctant to go with her because she was the cheapest out of all the other attorneys I met with, but I'm so glad I did. I am 100% positive no one else would have done such a great job with my case as Susan and her staff. Her work is quality, her staff is reliable and her character is honorable. There...

‐ Linda

I had a very difficult case where I had already burned through two attorneys who were unable to get me custody of my children and complete my divorce. Susan was able to rapidly work out an agreement and not let it just malinger on like my previous experiences. She was also considerate of my financial situation unlike all of the other lawyers I had spoken to. I highly recommend her if you want complete and caring service with an in-depth knowledge of...
