How New York Family Courts View 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 30 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.
Angela Scarlato & Associates, P.C. advises and represents clients in matters involving:
- Child custody
- Child visitation rights and parental access
- Modifications in custody and visitation
