Child custody: These matters are delicate and stressful, and the related laws are incredibly complex. I have extensive experience as a child custody attorney, and I can defend your parental rights. I strike the right balance by remaining firm while extending absolute respect to all parties involved.

Child support and spousal maintenance: It’s important that you and your children are taken care of, no matter what happens in a divorce or separation settlement. I can determine the amount of money you are legally required to pay or able to receive.

Property division: Fairly dividing all marital assets and debts is a complicated process, but I will provide detailed guidance every step of the way. I understand how to divide real estate, retirement accounts and all other types of property.

Modifications: When life circumstances change, you may need to modify a custody or support order. I can help you petition the court and seek the approval you require.

Family offenses: From domestic violence and orders of protection to judicial delinquency proceedings and child neglect, I am here to diligently advocate on your behalf.

The New York Family Courts deal with many different family law issues, but only the New York Supreme Court can grant a divorce. The Supreme Court also has jurisdiction over all issues that pertain to a divorce, ranging from child support to domestic violence allegations.
