How the Court Views Child Custody Issues

In New York, the court’s overriding concern when deciding child custody and visitation issues is “the best interests of the child". In most cases this means an arrangement that enables both parents to enjoy enduring and loving relationships with the child. However, if presented with compelling reasons, it can decide otherwise.

Angela Scarlato has represented clients in child custody matters for over 20 years — in cases involving routine modifications in visitation to highly contentious child custody disputes. Our firm will work to achieve your goals in the most effective manner possible. Often, this involves negotiation to achieve a solution that is practical and acceptable. In other situations, we are prepared to assertively litigate.

In most contested custody matters a lawyer will be appointed to represent the child. Often, psychological examinations and testing may also be ordered.

Your children are important to you. Angela Scarlato & Associates will place the highest priority on achieving your goals.
