Child Custody Dispute Lawyers

Some couples fight over money. Some fight over property. And some fight over the kids.

Children and Families First

At Tabat, Cohen, Blum & Yovino, LLP we avoid fighting altogether when children are involved. We put children first when negotiating or litigating – child custody disputes and visitation rights.

By taking the high road and operating from the best interests of the child, we find all parties are more satisfied in the long run. In the short term, we work with both parents to craft creative custody and visitation solutions and avoid courtroom custody battles.

Tabat, Cohen, Blum & Yovino, LLP handles all aspects of divorce and family law, including custody arrangements, financial support and equitable distribution of the marital assets. We serve clients in Nassau County, Suffolk County, and New York City from our Long Island offices in Garden City and West Islip.

Contested Custody Litigation

We have represented clients in significant, long-term custody trials. We are equipped to cross-examine experts and evaluators, and we prepare our clients for courtroom testimony and depositions to put their best foot forward and avoid traps by opposing counsel.

Because our practice is limited to Long Island, we are familiar with tendencies within the court systems in Suffolk County and Nassau County. This is knowledge that only comes from experience – and our four partners have a combined 75 years of family law experience.

Modifications and Appeals

It is said that divorce cases never end. We assist clients in revising custody and visitation agreements when circumstances change:

  • Parental relocation (move away custody)
  • Modifications of sole custody, joint custody and residential (physical) custody
  • Child support adjustments due to changes in income (or hidden assets)
  • Petitions to end or continue spousal support

Other family law attorneys frequently refer custody cases to us for appeal, as our partners have significant appellate experience in family law issues.

We also handle visitation cases involving unwed parents, including paternity suits to force child support, and suits to establish a father’s custody or visitation rights.

Tabat, Cohen, Blum & Yovino, LLP is experienced in all aspects of custody and visitation. We strive for common ground in negotiating settlements that involve children, but we thoroughly prepare every case as if it will go to trial in family court. Contact us today to discuss your custody, visitation, child support or alimony issue.
