"He didn't just win my case. He gave me back my future, my peace of mind, and my ability to breathe again."
From the very first conversation, he changed everything. He didn't just see a case, he saw me, and treated me like family. His knowledge of the law was unmatched, but what truly set him apart was his humanity. If you are looking for a lawyer, stop searching right now.
Not automatically. Custody alone doesn’t let you move if it cuts into the other parent’s time. You need the other parent’s written consent, ideally made part of a modified order, or the court’s permission. A judge may weigh your reasons, your child’s relationships, and whether a realistic schedule keeps the other parent involved, as explained on our relocation page. I’ve guided Suffolk County parents on both sides of these moves. Learn how to request a modification before you pack.
Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
