Our child custody attorneys work to create solutions that protect your parental rights while ensuring your children’s stability and happiness.
We help navigate various child custody matters, including:
Legal custody refers to your right to make crucial decisions about your child’s education, healthcare, religious upbringing, and other significant life choices. Parents can share this responsibility or have it assigned to just one parent — based on their ability to cooperate and make decisions together.
Residential custody refers to where your children primarily live and spend most of their time. This arrangement establishes a primary residence for daily routines, school enrollment, and other matters while ensuring that the non-residential parent maintains meaningful contact through a visitation schedule that serves the children’s best interests.
Sole custody grants one parent complete authority over all major decisions and the primary physical care of the child. This arrangement may be appropriate when one parent is unable to provide safe, proper care for the child — or when parents cannot effectively communicate about their child’s needs. Courts carefully evaluate all circumstances before awarding sole custody.
Joint custody is an arrangement that allows both parents to share the decision-making and physical care responsibilities. However, it requires parents to maintain open communication and work together for their children’s benefit — the success of this arrangement depends on the parents’ ability to cooperate and prioritize their children’s needs above their personal differences.
We develop customized legal strategies tailored to your unique needs, designed to protect your parental rights and prioritize your children’s well-being.
We are skilled negotiators, and we work to reach mutually agreeable custody arrangements through mediation and collaborative law.
If litigation becomes necessary, our experienced trial attorneys will provide thorough and robust representation in Suffolk County family court.
