What Is Family Law?
Family law is a specialized area of legal practice that addresses relationships within families and households. It covers:
Marriage & Civil Unions – Prenuptial agreements, marriage licenses, and domestic partnerships
Divorce & Separation – Dissolution of marriage, legal separation, and annulments
Child-Related Matters – Custody, visitation, child support, paternity, and adoption
Financial Support – Spousal maintenance (alimony), property division, and debt allocation
Protection from Abuse – Orders of protection, domestic violence restraining orders
Post-Judgment Issues – Modifications, enforcement, and relocation disputes
In New York, family law cases are primarily handled in Family Court (for support, custody, and protection orders) or Supreme Court (for divorce and equitable distribution).
With over 100 years of combined experience, our attorneys have guided thousands of New Yorkers through life’s toughest moments. We believe in:
Empathy First – We listen to your story without judgment.
Strategic Advocacy – We fight for fair outcomes, in negotiation or in court.
Clear Communication – No legalese. You’ll always know where your case stands.
Holistic Support – Connections to therapists, financial planners, and co-parenting coaches.
Frequently Asked Overview Questions
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce? Not required, but strongly recommended. Even "simple" divorces can have hidden pitfalls in property division or support.
Can I change child support later? Yes—upon a "substantial change in circumstances" (e.g., job loss, income increase, or child’s needs).
What if my spouse hides assets? We use forensic accountants and discovery tools to uncover hidden income or offshore accounts.
How does mediation work in family law? A neutral mediator helps you reach agreements on custody, support, etc. It’s faster, cheaper, and less adversarial than court.
