Family Law Attorney in the Bronx, New York City
Representing clients in custody and visitation, child support, divorce, and family offense proceedings, in New York City and surrounding counties. Direct, practical, and strategic representation.
Custody and visitation cases are about more than labels. They shape where a child lives, how decisions are made, and how each parent remains involved in the child's life. I represent clients in custody, child support, family offense, and divorce matters with a strategy tailored to the facts, the court, and the urgency of the situation.

An Alternative to Traditional Litigation

Not every custody dispute needs to go to court. This voluntary, attorney-guided program offers a structured out-of-court process for parents seeking to resolve parenting schedules and co-parenting conflicts — faster, at lower cost, and with less stress than traditional Family Court proceedings.
Understanding the Family Court Process
Starting a Case
When you file a Family Court petition, the court issues a summons, serves the other party, and schedules the first appearance. Early legal representation helps ensure proper filing and protects your interests from the start.
Conferences and Negotiation
Before hearings, the court may schedule conferences where temporary orders (custody, support) are addressed. Many cases settle through negotiation and stipulated agreements rather than going to hearing.
Hearings and Final Orders
If the case does not settle, it proceeds to hearing where both sides present evidence. The judge issues a final order determining custody, support, and other issues. Understanding what to expect at hearing is critical.
