A child custody lawyer can help you negotiate custody, either by agreement or in court. The custodial parent (the one the child lives with) earns the legal right to make decisions regarding the child's lifestyle, welfare, and education.

Child Support 8%

The parent the child lives with often receives money (child support) from the parent no longer living with the child. Unlike alimony, which is paid to maintain an ex-spouse's lifestyle, child support pays for the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs. A child support lawyer can help parents negotiate and calculate child support, either by agreement or in court. While national guidelines to calculate child support amounts exist, you or the judge may

Uncomfortable consultation

I do not like writing negative reviews; however, I have to share my experience with Marc Roberts. My husband and I came in for a consultation, and immediately from the start we were uncomfortable. Marc was pleasant enough, but we did not have a good experience with his paralegal, Debbie. From the mi...nute she opened the door, she stared as us without any greeting. We brought the documents we had filed with the court, and she continually harped on how they were not "done correctly." Keep in mind we are not lawyers and we filed these using the DIY forms on the NYS website, so I admit they may not have been done right. However, the majority of the meeting she kept sighing and shaking her head about them - she continued to criticize the documents, interrupting Marc as he was trying to give us legal guidance. I felt completely disrespected and quite frankly a bit discriminated against because of her behavior. She would not even acknowledge me and only speak to my husband. She and I even had to use the facilities at one point and not a word was said to me the entire time, even when I would hold open the door for her to allow her to pass first. I don't doubt that Marc and Debbie are excellent at their jobs and very detail oriented, but I cannot recommend them based on how we were treated by Debbie.
