A Client's Story

"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.

DECORATIVE

Yes, it generally is, as long as it is in writing, signed by both spouses, and acknowledged before a notary the way a deed must be. Still, a judge keeps the final say over custody, which turns on your child’s best interests, and child support terms need specific language to hold up. Some agreements also limit when child support can be modified. I’ve seen agreements that looked fine on paper leave Suffolk County parents unprotected. Have yours reviewed before you sign.
