Rockland County Custody Lawyers

Child custody and child support often cause the most emotional disputes between divorcing parents. Too often, spouses allow their egos to get caught up in the argument, each worried about losing his or her influence in the children's lives. In New York family law courts, however, it is important to remember the child's best interest always prevails.

Child Support

Child support is determined by a formula that includes a calculation of the parents' incomes and other financial obligations. In most cases, this formula will be followed closely, and our lawyers will take care to ensure that all of the income information being used in the calculations is accurate. Supplemental child support to meet the child's special needs, including payment of health care costs and education, may all be negotiated as part of the final settlement.

Child Custody

Child custody is typically much more complex than child support. Parents may be familiar with terms like physical custody and legal custody, sole custody and joint custody. The true focus is on parenting time and creating a parenting plan that allows each parent to remain in the child's life, provided there are no safety issues related to domestic violence or abuse. Our Rockland County custody attorneys understand the various options available and will work to help you pursue a parenting schedule that makes sense.
