What is family law?
Family law deals with legal matters involving family relationships, such as divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, and more. At Greene Law PLLC, we help clients navigate these often emotional situations with clarity, compassion, and a focus on long-term outcomes.
How long does a divorce process take?
The divorce process can take anywhere from a few months to over a year, depending on factors like whether the divorce is contested, how much property needs to be divided, and if children are involved. At Greene Law PLLC, we work efficiently to help you reach a resolution that protects your rights without unnecessary delays.
What are the child custody options?
Child custody can be granted as joint custody (shared between both parents), sole custody (granted to one parent), or some variation that reflects the child’s best interests. Courts prioritize the child’s wellbeing above all else. Our firm helps parents advocate for fair and sustainable custody arrangements.
How is child support determined?
Child support is calculated using a state formula that considers both parents’ incomes, the number of children, and the custody arrangement. Additional factors like medical expenses or special needs may also apply. Greene Law PLLC can help you understand your obligations and ensure that support calculations are accurate and fair.
What is the process for adoption?
The adoption process involves several legal steps, including a home study, background checks, court filings, and a final adoption hearing. Every adoption is unique, and our team guides you through the entire process to make sure everything complies with New York state law and runs as smoothly as possible.
What are the grounds for modifying a child custody order?
Custody orders can be modified when there has been a substantial change in circumstances — such as a parent relocating, a change in the child’s needs, or concerns about the child’s safety or wellbeing. Greene Law PLLC can help you petition the court and present evidence to support a modification when it’s in the child’s best interest.
