Child Custody Lawyer in Bronx, NY

Child custody cases aren’t just legal matters—they’re personal. When your kids are involved, every decision carries weight. If you're a parent in the Bronx trying to protect your relationship with your children, you need legal support that knows the stakes and takes your side from day one.

How Custody Works in New York

New York courts make one thing clear: it’s about what’s best for your kids. Judges weigh everything—from each parent’s ability to provide a stable home to whether siblings can stay together. Through our full range of family law services, we help you understand your rights and fight for the outcome that protects your child’s wellbeing.

Breaking Down Custody Options

Legal vs. Physical Custody

Legal custody means making major decisions—school, medical care, religion. Physical custody is about where your child actually lives. We help you understand how each works so you can make informed, confident choices.

Common Arrangements We Handle

• Joint legal custody with one parent having primary physical custody
• Shared physical custody with equal time between parents
• Sole custody with court-ordered visitation
• Split custody between siblings when appropriate

We’ve worked with families across the Bronx—from Riverdale to Pelham Bay—to build custody plans that actually work in the real world.

What Judges Look For

Family Court doesn’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Judges look at your home, your schedule, your relationship with your kids—and whether you and your co-parent can communicate. They also consider any history of domestic violence or criminal activity, and if your kids are old enough, their preferences matter too.

Need to Change a Custody Order?

Life changes—people move, jobs shift, dynamics evolve. If your current agreement no longer works, we’ll help you file for a modification and make sure the court sees what’s changed and why it matters.
