Child Custody
In our experience, both parents typically want what is best for their children, even if both parents see things from a completely different viewpoint. Oftentimes, each parent believes they are the best option to have full custody of their child.
Child custody and visitation cases are not necessarily straightforward and usually involve a level of legal intervention. There is no one solution that fits every situation to determine the outcome of every case. If you are facing a child custody or visitation battle, you will want an experienced attorney who is well-versed in New York State family law.
The Law Office of Catrina Young, Esq understands the difficulty and fear associated with not knowing what will happen to your child. Our law firm will work with you to resolve your familial conflict while strongly advocating the best solution for you and your minor children as physical custody, legal custody, and visitation decisions are made.
Child Support
Child support issues are a common source of friction between two parents who don’t live together. In some cases, an agreed-upon support schedule is made, but this is rare. In the majority of cases, some level of legal intervention is necessary.
If you are the custodial parent, and you aren’t receiving support, we can help you file a violation of the support order. If you are a noncustodial parent and have had a change in your financial situation, we can help you to file a modification of your support order to have it reduced.
In either scenario, if you find yourself in the midst of a child support dispute, The Law Office of Catrina Young, Esq can help you effectively resolve your case.
Family Offense
Acts committed by one family member to another are difficult situations. If someone in your household is causing harm, The Law Office of Catrina Young, Esq can help you file a family offense petition against them. Depending on the severity of the offense, it may stay in family court or be transferred to criminal court.
If a petition is already in place and a family member continues to harass, assault/attempted assault, stalk, or otherwise cause you harm or damage, you can file a violation. Sometimes a family member will accuse another one of causing harm, but their version of the story might be inaccurate. In that case, you will want a knowledgeable attorney by your side to advocate your side, so you do not suffer punishment for something you did not do.
When facing a family offense situation, The Law Office of Catrina Young, Esq is here for you. We’ll help you file the correct paperwork to the proper channels. Our lawyers understand how difficult it can be to take the steps necessary to resolve many family law matters. In addition to divorce and matters relating to children, we also offer a range of other services, including paternity and father’s rights. If you need an attorney in the NYC area, including Queens, Kings, Bronx, Manhattan, Suffolk County, and Westchester County, contact our law firm today to schedule a consultation.
