If we have helped you, we would be honored by your review.

In Suffolk County, a child’s refusal does not automatically cancel a court-ordered visit. Parents are expected to encourage compliance unless there is genuine danger. Courts look closely at whether a parent fostered or frustrated the relationship. These situations are emotional and complicated, especially with older children. Do not handle it casually or emotionally. Handle it correctly. Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
