Alimony

Whenever a married couple seek an annulment, separation or divorce, the court may order one spouse to support the other in the form of alimony or spousal support payments.  The court will weigh a number of factors, such as the length of the marriage and the earning capacity of each party, in deciding whether to order spousal support, as well as the amount of support required.

Child Support

When a child lives primarily with one parent, the court may order the other parent to pay for child support.  If your former spouse has not lived up to his or her child support obligations, we may be able to help you secure the money you are owed.

Understandably, sometimes a parent's financial condition can change over time. If you can no longer afford to pay for child support because your earning potential has been reduced by unemployment, injury or other circumstances, we may be able to petition the court to modify its order.

We are experienced New York family law attorneys who have negotiated many initial and amended child support orders on behalf of New York parents.
