New York Child Custody Attorneys Protecting Your Children And Rights

Child custody is a critical legal issue to address when New York parents divorce or separate. Turn to knowledgeable legal advocates to help you safeguard your child’s best interests and your parent-child relationship. At Redder, Bock & Associates, PLLC, we serve parents across Ulster County, and we stand ready to be your trusted Kingston child custody attorneys.

The Basics Of Child Custody In New York

In New York, child custody has two main elements:

  • Legal custody: Determining who makes important decisions about a child’s upbringing
  • Physical custody: Determining who a child lives with

Custody arrangements can vary considerably, as one or both of these aspects of custody can either be given primarily to one parent (with the other having visitation rights) or shared jointly in some fashion.

How Is Child Custody Decided In New York?

There are two main ways to get a custody arrangement in place in New York:

  • By agreement: You could reach a parenting plan agreement with the other parent. As a note, the agreement must receive court approval to take effect.
  • By court decision: If there is no agreement, a court will have to decide on custody, considering various factors related to the best interests of the child.

As knowledgeable Ulster County custody lawyers, we can help you pursue practical solutions in either custody negotiation/mediation or court battles.

Can A Lawyer Help With Modifying Or Enforcing An Existing Custody Order?

Yes. Skilled legal support is not just important when establishing child custody, but also when legal issues arise after an order is in place. Whether you are seeking a custody change or responding to a custody violation, experienced New York family law attorneys, like us, can guide you through the process and help you pursue your goals.
