Family Law

Family law is a complex practice area that encompasses several serious issues, including child custody, child support, paternity, and adoption. If you are dealing with any of these matters, you need an experienced, trustworthy attorney to provide guidance. At Figaro Law Office, we are both seasoned family law attorneys who can help you address any issue.

Child Custody

Child custody orders are always based on the best interests of the child. However, one parent will often have physical and/or legal custody of the child, or both parents may share these responsibilities. Whenever appropriate, a child’s noncustodial parent will be able to spend time with the child based on a visitation schedule.

We will help you pursue a fair child custody arrangement that protects your relationship with your child.

Child Support

The state of New York requires both parents to provide financially for their child. In cases where parents don’t live together, formal child support orders will require one parent to make regular payments to the other. Our firm will help you ensure that your child support order is fair, whether you are the payer or the recipient.

Other Services

If you need to begin paternity proceedings in order to establish a father’s rights and responsibilities, we can guide you through this process. We can also help with other family law matters.
