Frequently Asked Questions
The most common legal issues we see are family law, divorce, child custody, and visitation. We also handle a lot of landlord-tenant law, criminal defense, and personal injury cases.
To qualify for free or low-cost legal service in New York, you must be a U.S. citizen or have legal status, meet income guidelines, and have a civil legal issue.
When choosing a lawyer, it is important to find someone who is experienced in the area of law you need help with. You should also feel comfortable communicating with your lawyer and have confidence in their ability to represent you.
The cost of a lawyer will vary depending on the case type, the matter’s complexity, and the amount of time required. Generally, you can expect to pay an hourly rate for legal services. Some lawyers may also charge a flat fee for certain types of cases.
Before meeting with a lawyer, it is important to have all the facts and documents related to your case. You should also have a list of questions to ask the lawyer. This will help you get the most out of your consultation.
Child support
The settlement of a child support case is often one of the most contentious aspects of divorce, and our attorneys are experienced in handling these cases. Both parents have a legal obligation to support their children financially. If you are seeking child support or are struggling to make payments, our team can help. We will work with you to ensure that the child support order is fair and that payments are made in a timely manner. Child support modification is also available.
Child visitation rights
If you have custody of your child, you have the right to determine when and how often the other parent sees your child. If you are having difficulty reaching an agreement with the other parent, our team can help.
We will work with you to develop a visitation schedule that is in the best interests of your child. From court appeals to mediation, we will do everything we can to help you protect your child’s rights.
Prenuptial agreements
If you are considering entering into a prenuptial agreement, our team can help. A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract between two people who are planning to marry. The agreement outlines each person’s property rights and financial obligations in the event of a divorce. An arbitration clause can also be included in the agreement, which can save you time and money if you ever need to divorce.
Postnuptial agreements
A postnuptial agreement is a contract entered into by a married couple that outlines their property rights and financial obligations in the event of a divorce or death. This type of agreement can be used to protect assets, limit liability, and make other arrangements in the event of a split. From filing paperwork to negotiating terms, our team can help you through the process.
Collaborative Law
In family law, the traditional process can be full of conflict. If you are considering a divorce or have other family law matters, you may be looking for a better way. Collaborative law is an alternative dispute resolution process that allows couples to work together with their attorneys to reach a mutually agreeable resolution without going to court. We have a team of collaborative law attorneys who are ready to help you resolve your family law matters in a peaceful and efficient manner.
Legal Separation
A legal separation is a court order that mandates the rights and responsibilities of a couple who has chosen to live apart. A legal separation does not end a marriage or domestic partnership. Couples who choose to legally separate may do so for religious or personal reasons or because they want to live apart but are not ready to divorce. A legal separation can be reversed, unlike a divorce.
Paternity
Paternity is the legal process of determining the father of a child. Establishing paternity is important because it gives the child a legal father and establishes the father’s rights and responsibilities. Paternity can be established through DNA testing or by signing a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. A judge may order paternity testing if there is a dispute over the father of a child.
Relocation
If you are considering relocating with your child, there are a few things you need to know. First, you should notify the other parent of your plans in writing. Second, you should try to reach an agreement with the other parent about the relocation. If you cannot reach an agreement, you may need to file a petition with the court.
