Support Issues for Non-Married Couples

New Paltz, New York, Spousal Support and Child Support Lawyer

Spousal support and child support are among the most emotional issues in any divorce. When the dissolution involves non-married couples, the vagueness of the law can result in some of the most bitter and long-lasting disputes. The attorney you hire to protect your rights and financial interests will require experience and knowledge about your local court process and the personal values judges are likely to apply when interpreting case law and making decisions.

With more than 25 years of New York family law experience, I am ready to protect your rights and work vigorously to resolve the most complex support, custody and property issues involved in your non-marital relationship.

As local community values in Orange County and Dutchess County change, judges take different approaches to determining child support obligations for non-married couples. It is critical for your attorney to know the case law and expectations of the courts in your county.

New York Paternity Lawyer

Child support begins with proving paternity. If you are an unmarried parent, talk to me about paternity tests and the rights and obligations of unmarried fathers in New York. Whether you are the mother seeking child support from the father of your child, a father ordered to pay or a father disputing paternity, I will advocate aggressively on your behalf to protect your rights and financial interests.

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.
