Modifications Attorney in Orange County

Orange County, New York, Child Custody Modification Attorney

The law offices of Jonathan D. Katz provides legal services for clients seeking to modify their child custody, child support or other support obligations in Orange County, New York.

Understanding how Orange County judges view requests for modification is an important factor when filing a successful petition. As a New York family law attorney for more than 25 years, I know the court procedures and the expectations. That means you won't pay for mistakes or a learning curve that often result from inexperience in the appropriate courts.

Knowledge of the Orange County Court System and Judges Makes a Difference

There are several factors an Orange County judge will take into consideration when deciding to accept a petition for a modification.

Some of the common factors include:

  • Child's desire to modify the original parenting schedule
  • Job schedule change for either the parent
  • Significant change of income for either the parent
  • Physical relocation of either the parent
  • Health concerns for the child and parents
  • Educational opportunities for the child

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting my self. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution.

Jon's integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know whats important to you. You're not just a number. He is up front with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if thats truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for whats important to his clients.
