Finding Workable Child Custody and Visitation Arrangements
Determining child custody and child visitation can be a contentious issue that can stall divorce proceedings. Warren Welch is a Rochester, New York, child custody attorney who encourages clients to work toward realistic situations that are best for the family. We can help you negotiate an arrangement that is in the best interests of the children that is also fair to the parents while considering their lifestyles.
Will Spousal Support Be a Factor?
Our law firm can guide you through the complications of determining the amount and type of spousal support. Generally, the longer a marriage has lasted, the more spousal maintenance that will be awarded. Additionally, New York has the concept of "enhanced earnings" that take into account professional licenses, advanced degrees, businesses, pensions and other items contributing to additional income. It is important to hire a lawyer who has a full understanding of the law regarding support and all of the variables that come into play.
It is important to note that any divorce filed after Oct 12, 2010, parties can now petition for temporary maintenance until a divorce agreement and decree is finalized. We can help you negotiate temporary maintenance in accordance with these laws, whether your divorce is filed on one of the six traditional grounds or exercises the new seventh, no fault divorce option.
Is Relocation an Issue?
New York is very strict when it comes to relocation of a custodial parent. The court extensively considers many factors when one parent seeks permission to relocate with the children and how previous child custody agreements will be affected. Above all else, the final outcome is based on what will serve the best interests of the children.
