"Some attorneys fan the flames of emotion. But I see my job as being empathetic while encouraging my client to develop realistic expectations. In the end, I want you to look back and know you made the best choices for you and your family." — Attorney Ian R. Arcus
Child Support
Determining an appropriate level of child support involves more than simply looking at pay stubs and calculating an amount based on New York's child support guidelines. Together we will explore all relevant sources of income as well as future expenses that must be considered such as health insurance, orthodontics and college tuition.
We have extensive experience representing both custodial and non-custodial parents in child support matters during the initial proceeding, in pursuing or defending appeals or helping you enforce child support orders.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
In New York, spousal support (also called spousal maintenance) is not automatic, but is based on a number of factors, including:
- Length of the marriage
- Earning capacity of the parties
- Age and health of the parties
- Children from a previous marriage in the home of either party
- The standard of living established during the marriage
At the Law Office of Ian R. Arcus, we work closely with you to identify your goals and to outline possible solutions for you to consider. Family law can be like a puzzle, and we will find creative solutions to solve this puzzle in the most efficient manner possible.
With extensive trial experience and a broad knowledge of New York family law, we know how to successfully structure and argue your case, both at trial and on appeal.
