Long Island Child Custody Attorney

Divorce & Custody

Of all issues that must be addressed in a Long Island divorce, child custody is generally one of the most hotly contested. Because custody is a legal matter that is also so emotionally involved, it is important to make sure all of your bases are covered. This is why you should consider working with a lawyer who can help represent your interests and assist you in seeking a custody arrangement that suits your and your child's needs.

How is Child Custody Determined in Long Island?

When a married couple gets a divorce, child custody may be determined in different ways. In my opinion the most viable option is typically for the parents to come to their own arrangement regarding custody. An agreement reached outside of the courtroom allows each parent to look at their needs and the needs of the child in order to determine a fair arrangement that works best for everyone. If a divorce is contested and a judge is therefore given the power to decide upon a custody arrangement, the result may be different. In some cases, however, it will be necessary to take a child custody dispute or a divorce to court. If this occurs, I have the experience and resources to properly represent your interests in front of the family law judge.
