Understanding Child Custody in New York State
Custody is a broad term that encompasses both decision-making authority for your child and the physical residence of the child. A custody agreement or court decision will impact every aspect of your child’s life, including where they live, their schooling, and their relationship with both parents. Whether you’re seeking primary residential custody, joint custody, or modifications to an existing custody arrangement or parenting plan, our attorneys have the expertise to guide you through the process.
