Family Law Matters

Family law encompasses more than just divorce; it includes a variety of legal matters that impact your family’s future. Our attorneys are skilled in handling cases involving:

Child Custody & Visitation

Child custody in New York establishes each parent’s rights and responsibilities surrounding their child’s upbringing.  While one parent may have primary custody, the other is typically granted visitation unless it harms the child.

Courts weigh several factors, such as:

  • The child’s best interests
  • Stability and parental involvement
  • History of abuse or neglect

The recognizes that both parents can request custody and visitation during a divorce. Our Manhattan family law attorneys work to develop custody solutions that prioritize the child’s well-being while ensuring parental rights are respected.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement clarifies financial expectations prior to marriage.  It specifies how assets and debts will be handled if the marriage ends, which is especially beneficial in high-net-worth scenarios.

We assist clients with:

  • Drafting enforceable agreements
  • Identifying marital vs. separate property
  • Defining terms for support and debt

Addressing these matters early can prevent conflict and uncertainty down the road.

Relocation & Move-Aways

Relocation cases involve one parent seeking to move a child out of the area, impacting custody arrangements. These cases are often contested and emotional. Our firm navigates the complexities of parental relocation with thoughtful, child-focused strategies.

Courts evaluate:

  • The motive for relocation
  • Effect on the child’s relationship with the other parent
  • Educational and emotional benefits

We build strong arguments for or against relocation, always prioritizing the child’s well-being.

Paternity

Establishing paternity grants a father legal rights and responsibilities regarding his child, including custody, visitation, and support. We help clients secure parental rights and build lasting family connections.

We handle:

  • DNA test requests
  • Court petitions
  • Parenting time and support negotiations

Determining paternity ensures legal recognition and the child’s welfare.

Allegations of abuse or neglect are taken seriously by New York family courts. These cases involve children or vulnerable adults and often include emergency action.

Our services include:

  • Orders of protection
  • CPS hearings
  • Termination or restriction of parental rights

We act quickly to protect clients and uphold due process.

Each case is handled with care and compassion, with the individual’s well-being always at the center of our work.

Father’s Rights and Grandparents’ Rights

When denied access, fathers and grandparents may petition for custody or visitation. Courts recognize that strong family bonds benefit a child’s development.

Our Clients Trust Our Experience

What out clients are saying about us.

  • Plom Maxime

    Mr. Levoritz advised and prepared me for trial when my previous lawyer did not. He took the time to read transcripts and review evidence. In just a few hours, he was more prepared than the lawyer I had. He also gave me a second opinion that put my mind at ease. After all the time he spent helping me, I offered to compensate him for his efforts, but he refused. Now I know there are still good people in this world and Mr. Levoritz is undoubtedly one of them. I cannot thank him enough.

    Yoni ensured an order of protection was maintained for me throughout the process and guided me on the appropriate steps to take throughout the course to ultimately settle with my son’s mother with a custody stipulation that protects my son, maintains safe boundaries in place for me and my family, and dictates safe guards so that decision making for important matters is not controlled by vindictive decisions. I couldn’t recommend the 91Ƶ㽶Ƶ enough.
