Child Custody Issues

Child custody and parenting time decisions are based on serving the best interests of the child. The court may decide to award joint legal custody and joint physical custody, or it may decide that the child should be cared for, and stay with, one parent more than the other. The custody arrangement will also affect the child support each party is expected to provide. With so much at stake, it is important to present your case for custody in the best way possible. An experienced Livingston County child custody lawyer can help.

Interstate Child Custody Concerns

When both parents live in the same area, decisions regarding schooling, daycare and visitation may be easier to decide. When parents live in different states, the issues and the law involved becomes more complicated. We have experience in cases involving the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction And Enforcement Act. We represent out of state clients who have custody issues in New York.

Modifications to Custody Arrangements

If there has been a material change in circumstances, the custody arrangement may no longer work. We represent clients in cases involving a change to visitation or custody orders. Call 585-563-4966 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation at our Geneseo office, or at a location that is more convenient for you.
