Practice Area - Matrimonial, Divorce & Family Court
Matters
When a relationship fails, it is hard enough to manage your
emotions. It is even harder to manage your household. Our attorneys
are sensitive to your needs and experienced in handling your legal
matters.
If you are seeking a divorce or are being sued for divorce, you need
an attorney on your side that will fight to protect your legal
rights. You need to protect your assets and make sure that the best
interests of your children are attained. We can commence or defend a
matrimonial action in Supreme Court, seeking your fair share of the
marital assets, while representing you on issues of maintenance,
child custody, child support, and visitation.
If you have never been married, are already divorced, or are not
seeking a divorce, we can represent you in Family Court by filing a
petition on your behalf for child support, custody, and/or
visitation. We can also seek an order of protection on your behalf
to ensure your safety.
If you are a custodial parent you have the right to obtain child
support from the non-custodial parent -- even if the non-custodial
parent is working off the books or is unemployed and receiving
unemployment benefits. Furthermore, you can seek to have the
non-custodial parent provide or contribute to your children’s health
care, education, and day care expenses.
If you are the non-custodial parent and have lost your job or your
income has been diminished, we can petition the court for a downward
modification to lower your monthly payment.
If your former partner has temporary custody of your child or
children, we can bring a petition seeking permanent custody or
visitation.
It is important that you are aware of your rights when it comes to
you and your children. We will fight hard on you and your family’s
behalf.
