The other areas of family law that the firm handles include adoption, neglect and abuse proceedings, paternity cases and orders of protection, also known as restraining orders in domestic violence cases. From the early stages of a divorce to allegations of child abuse or neglect, a family may face a number of difficulties in the realm of family law. Making the decision to involve an attorney as early in the process as possible is one of the most important choices you will make. Preventative measures are particularly valuable in these cases, as taking the right approach from the onset of a case can help you save a substantial amount of time and money. It can also reduce the amount of stress you and your children may experience.

Decisions regarding temporary child support and maintenance, child support, and child custody can be highly contentious and heavily debated between couples as these decisions will have a significant impact on each spouse's future. It is possible to obtain modifications to child support in the future when one parent undergoes a serious life change and gains or loses a significant amount of income. The court will also allow a child support modification if three years have passed since the last order was entered, modified or adjusted.

Divorce and other family law cases may involve courtroom litigation or a collaborative approach through mediation or the like. The firm provides experienced counsel in both of these realms, choosing the approach that best aligns with a client's particular needs and goals. A collaborative divorce approach will be taken whenever possible, as this often reduces the cost of the proceedings as well as the amount of stress that the family experiences. The firm understands that many spouses would want to seek a divorce but avoid doing so because they fear they will be unable to pay their attorney fees. The New York Courts are understanding towards spouses who are economically disadvantaged, and a judge may order the other spouse to pay the counsel fees of the lesser earning spouse. Regardless of your financial position, the firm stands ready and willing to go to court when needed to seek a positive case result.
