Nassau County Child Custody Lawyers — Fighting for Your Parental Rights
Child custody disputes are among the most emotionally challenging legal matters a parent can face. At Solomos & Associates PLLC, our Nassau County child custody attorneys fight to protect your parental rights and secure the best possible outcome for your children.
New York courts determine custody based on the "best interest of the child" standard, considering factors such as each parent's ability to provide a stable home, the child's existing relationships, and the willingness of each parent to foster a relationship with the other parent. Understanding how judges weigh these factors is critical to your case.
We handle all types of custody matters — including initial custody petitions, modifications of existing custody orders, and emergency custody applications when a child's safety is at risk. Our attorneys are known for their strong advocacy for fathers' rights, ensuring both parents receive fair treatment in court.
Whether your case involves joint custody, sole custody, or a complex relocation dispute, we will develop a strategy tailored to your family's needs. We offer emergency court appearances and same-day consultations when time is critical.
How We Can Help
Legal & Physical Custody
Legal custody determines who makes major decisions about a child's education, health care, and religion. Physical custody determines where the child lives. We advocate for arrangements that serve your child's best interests.
Custody Modifications
When circumstances change — such as a parent's relocation, change in work schedule, or concerns about a child's welfare — we help you petition the court to modify existing custody orders.
Fathers' Rights
We are strong advocates for fathers seeking custody or expanded parenting time. New York law does not favor one parent over another based on gender, and we fight to ensure fathers receive fair treatment.
Parenting Plans & Schedules
Developing comprehensive parenting plans that address daily routines, holidays, vacations, school schedules, and communication between parents and children.
Emergency Custody Petitions
When a child is in immediate danger, we file emergency petitions for temporary custody orders to protect the child while the court addresses the full case.
Relocation Disputes
Representing parents who wish to relocate with their children, or opposing a move that would disrupt existing custody arrangements and the child's stability.
