Child Custody, Visitation and Child Support Representation Greene County, New York

Seeking assistance with a child custody, visitation, or child support matter in Greene County? If you are, it is important to enlist the assistance of an experienced and qualified attorney. Clients throughout the area trust these sensitive cases to me, Attorney Marlene Moberly. Contact me today through this Web site or by calling (518) 634-2350.

I confidently handle custody matters for clients who are getting divorced, already divorced, or have never been married. This office takes the time to explain how child custody is determined, a process that can be overwhelming and complicated.

Visitation

You have a right to spend time with your child. Also, your child has a right to know you. If you are unjustly being denied your visitation rights, get in touch with my office today.

Child Support

New York is strict on parents in regard to child support. Regardless of your circumstances, you are going to pay support. The amount of support is calculated through a statutory formula that leaves little room for negotiation. Since the law is strictly construed, it is essential that you have a lawyer who fully understands New York state law on child support. Do not go in without having as much information to support your position as possible. I can assist you in gathering the required supporting documents to show why you should pay less support or why the other parent should be forced to pay more.

Modifications

Petitions seeking a change in a custody, visitation, or support order must be pled properly. Once reduced to an order or judgment by the court, that directive is reviewed with different standards by a Judge. In essence, the order or judgment becomes far more difficult to change. Have it reflect your agreement correctly, prior to submitting it to the court.

In New York, once you make an agreement, the order can only be modified by showing changed circumstances. "Changed Circumstances" is a difficult threshold to meet. Modification petitions must be properly pled and proved to be successful.

In addition to handling child custody, visitation, and child support matters, I also represent clients on issues pertaining to:

• Uncontested divorce
• Appeals from family court decisions
• Abuse and neglect cases
