OUTCOME: Case against my client dismissed after trial
My client and I got an Order of Protection case against him dismissed.
OUTCOME: Custody Modified After Trial
After trial my client and I successfully modified custody to change custody from residential custody to the mother to sole custody to my client.
OUTCOME: Divorce Settled
After much negotiation and the ordering of a forensic evaluation we were able to settle the divorce with custody awarded to my client. Favorable child support and maintenance terms were agreed upon.
OUTCOME: Custody Awarded to My Client
After trial my client, the father, was granted custody and the mother's request for custody and to relocate with the child was denied.
OUTCOME: Child Support Terminated
The Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department ruled in favor of my client that we proved, at trial that his daughter was constructively emancipated. This was the second part to the child support ... case I reported about earlier. Unfortunately, this daughter, who was a minor under eighteen years of age when we settled the first case and continued child support for her, continued to refuse to have a relationship with her father. The Appellate Court agreed with us that by continuing to refuse to have a relationship with her father, without good cause, when she became the employeable age of eighteen, was a change of circumstances, allowing her to be emancipated. The Court ruled that we showed that the Father had made diligent efforts at having a relationship to no avail.
OUTCOME: Custody Modified to My Client
After trial custody was modified from custody to the mother to custody to sole custody to my client, the father.
OUTCOME: My client received a substantial reduction in his total child support payemtents. The case settled by deeming the eighteen year old child constructively emancipated and recalculating child support for the youngest child of sixteen years of age only.
The case involved parental alienation and refusal by a child, over eighteen years of age but still in school, to have a relationship with the non-custodial parent. I represented the non-custodial pare ... nt. After we presented our side of the case the custodial parent began testifying. After I began cross-examination of the custodial parent the Judge called the attorrneys up to conference the case.
