Child Custody

New Rochelle Parental Rights Lawyer

Lauren B. Abramson, Esq.

In New York, courts make decisions regarding child custody on a case-by-case basis according to what they think is in the best interests of the children. However, these court rulings are very subjective. What one judge believes is in the best interests of the child may not be what you believe is right for your family.

As a White Plains child custody lawyer with over 20 years' experience, I will listen carefully to your concerns and objectives, and help you create a solution that is acceptable to you and in your family's best interest. I am a relentless, vigilant advocate on my clients' behalf and never hesitate to pursue their goals with my full energy and skills. When you choose me to represent you, you can rest assured that your needs are my top priority.

Achieving Resolutions That are Right for Your Family

If you are facing a divorce involving children, the best approach to resolving child custody or parental relocation issues is through negotiations, mediation or collaborative law . No one knows your family like you do. By resolving parenting issues together, you can avoid the cost, time and trauma of a courtroom dispute — both for you and your children.

However, if you cannot achieve an amicable resolution with your spouse, I will strongly advocate for you in court. I began my practice 20 years ago as a prosecutor in family court, so I have the experience, knowledge and understanding of New York family law to effectively stand up for your parenting rights.

There are many different ways for child custody and visitation  to be arranged, but it is important that both parents are involved in the child's life as much as possible. I will work with you and your former spouse to develop an arrangement that meets your needs and the needs of your children.
