Knowledgeable New York Lawyer Provide Guidance and Advice
Dedicated attorney helps individuals in the Poughkeepsie area with custody and more
Court is never easy, even when both partners agree that it’s the right decision. A family court case can involve crucial decisions about how your children will be cared for. At Matula-Evans Law, we aim to help clients in the Poughkeepsie area and throughout New York to get through their cases without added stress or difficulty. Our knowledge of New York laws and practices enables us to provide advice on all aspects of family law, and to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Committed advocates strive for a fair result
Matula-Evans Law will work to develop the best possible solutions for all aspects of your case, which may include:
- Child custody and visitation — Court orders determine where your child will live, how parenting time will be split and to what degree each parent gets to make decisions about their child’s life. We will work to ensure your parental rights are protected while advocating for your children’s welfare.
- Child support — A number of factors are used to calculate child support payments, from each parent’s income to each child’s particular needs. We will seek an order that’s fair to all parties.
- Spousal support and temporary support — Whether you seek spousal support on a permanent or temporary basis, or must pay it, our attorney will seek a fair determination so that case doesn’t leave you financially strapped.
With commitment and conviction, we argue for fair arrangements, always keeping in mind your best interests and those of your children.
Effective family lawyer handles mediation and litigation
The course that your case takes will depend on your circumstances. Most couples will first try to work things out in mediation rather than opting to let a judge decide the terms. Mediation gives you and your spouse the opportunity to negotiate a settlement in a structured setting through a trained facilitator, in a process that fosters cooperation and removes the unpredictability and uncertainty of litigation. It also often reduces the time and cost, and puts the decisions in your hands.
If litigation is necessary to reach just and equitable resolutions to custody and other matters, our skilled litigator is prepared to advocate on your behalf in court in pursuit of the most favorable outcome.
