Legal Options If Your Ex Won’t Let You See Your Children
When your spouse refuses to allow you to see your children, it’s a serious offense and can cost the other party dearly when the matter comes before a judge. If the other party is withholding your children or ignoring custody agreements, allow attorney David Bliven to help.
He can help you issue a Default Notice Letter or file a Writ of Habeas Corpus, depending on the severity of the estrangement and whether or not you are the custodial parent. You do have options and can petition the courts for access to your children with an attorney’s help.
Helping you get the best possible custody arrangement requires considering what is best for your children, your financial resources, and your strengths as a parent. Whether you receive full or shared custody of your child depends upon your and your former spouse’s backgrounds, the amount of care you provided for your child prior to divorce, and your child’s needs and well-being.
Standing up for your rights as a parent requires a strong familiarity with the law, insights into your strengths and weaknesses as a parent, and information on the background of your married life prior to divorce. Allow David Bliven to consider and present the full picture to the courts with care, thoughtfulness, and objectivity.
With experience handling custody cases throughout Westchester County, New York, child custody attorney David Bliven can fairly and faithfully present your case as a parent, fight for your access to your children, and stand up for what is best for your family in the long run.
However, for most people seeking no further legal or financial ties to their spouse, divorce allows for a new start, personally and fiscally. Discussing the background of your marriage with an attorney can help you get a clearer sense of whether separation or divorce would best suit your goals.
If your child is an older teenager (i.e. age 15 and older), their preferences may play a greater role in awarding custody.
At a bare minimum, the courts will require a payment of $25.00 per child, even if the custodial party has indicated they do not need child support.
This evidence could include witness statements, medical records documenting injuries due to abuse, text messages, photographs of damage to your property, and police reports. A domestic abuse attorney can help you preserve and compile this evidence.
