Facilitating Effective Communication Between Parents
If you are working to resolve child custody or parenting time disputes, it is important to have a realistic understanding of the issues, the process and your chances of obtaining your goals. You need an attorney who can give you a straightforward and honest assessment of your situation, while also handling your case with compassion as well as knowledge of the law and child development and mental health issues.
At the Law Offices of Jonathan D. Gordon, Esq., LLC, we are attentive to the needs of our clients and their family. This means creating a parenting plan that addresses all the needs of their family situation. From our office in Teaneck, we represent clients throughout New Jersey with family law matters, including:
- Child custody disputes
- Child support disputes
- Parenting time and visitation disputes
Child Custody and Support
Our firm is highly sensitive to mental health and child-related issues. We are well-equipped to represent clients with disputes over children, custody and parenting time. When mental health issues are involved, our firm has the background and understanding to represent your interests effectively. This includes sensitivity to domestic violence, child abuse and neglect issues.
We have a special interest in high conflict disputes regarding removal applications, grandparent visitation and any other issues that affect the best interests of the child. We understand how frustrating custody matters can be for parents, and we work to obtain the best possible custody arrangements based on the circumstances.
We also help clients understand child support payments. In New Jersey, child support payments are determined by state-mandated guidelines. These guidelines dictate the amount of support a non-custodial parent will pay the custodial parent. Frequently, a client wishes to revise the amount of child support that is paid, due to changed circumstances in the payor or in the recipient.
Parenting Time and Visitation
Parenting time agreements establish when the non-custodial parent will be able to visit or spend time with his or her child. This agreement can be worked out in mediation, through a parent coordinator, or decided by a judge if the parents cannot agree. Each case is unique. We will work with you to develop the best plan to meet your needs, as well as your children's needs.
