Frequently Asked Questions
How is child custody decided in New York?
New York courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like each parent's stability, the child's existing relationships, each parent's ability to provide, and the child's own wishes (depending on age). Attorney Cerio fights to protect your parental rights.
Can I modify a child support order?
Yes. Child support orders can be modified when there is a substantial change in circumstances — such as a significant change in income, a change in custody arrangement, or a change in the child's needs. Attorney Cerio handles both upward and downward modification petitions.
