Determining child custody can be a significant source of anxiety for parents who are divorcing. However, custody of a minor child can also be at stake if a parent dies, becomes incapacitated or incarcerated, or is judged to be unfit.
Our child custody lawyers understand the legal and emotional difficulties that can be associated with child custody cases. After more than 30 years of experience resolving family law cases, our attorneys recognize that every custody case is unique. So, we listen closely to our clients' needs, and create the solutions that will address their circumstances.
Our Ulster and Rockland County Visitation Attorneys Resolve Complex Cases Involving Child Custody, Child Relocation, Visitation, Custody Modifications and Paternity
There are many types of custody and many issues that can affect custody. Our experienced New York family law attorneys have resolved a wide range of custody cases — from simple to complex and/or contentious. Sometimes, our clients just need advice regarding the type of custody that is most appropriate for their situation or their current agreement requires modification, due to a change in circumstances. Other times, we must pursue a termination of parental rights due to a situation involving a parent who is judged to be unfit or in the case of a stepparent adoption.
Whenever possible, our attorneys attempt to negotiate family law matters. This can save our clients the time and expense that can be associated with litigation, and it can preserve the family relationships that usually continue throughout the child's lifetime. However, when litigation is unavoidable, we do not hesitate to aggressively protect the rights and the best interests of our clients and their children. Oftentimes, our thorough preparation leads to a pretrial settlement, because other attorneys are aware of our firm's track record of success when litigating custody cases.
