Troy Child Custody Attorney

What Is the Best Solution for Your and Family?

Child custody is, of course, often an issue in a divorce. It must also frequently be resolved in cases where the couple was living together outside of marriage. Either way − inside or outside of marriage − the issues can be difficult and highly emotional.

At Bartle, McGrane, Duffy & Jones, LLP, we have years of experience helping clients with separation agreements. Contact us today at our office in Troy to schedule a consultation. We serve clients in the Albany area, the Capital District, and throughout New York state.

We recently added Joanne P. Monagan to our firm. In New York's Unified Court System, Ms. Monagan served as the Principal Court Attorney for the Rensselaer County Family Court and the State Supreme Court. In that capacity, she administered hundreds of family law cases from beginning to end, including court conferences, negotiations, trial preparation and the drafting of final decisions.

Factors Involved in Child Custody Cases

Today, courts generally start from the position that parents have equal rights to be with their children. But if one spouse has issues relating to abuse, adultery, substance abuse, or some other factor that calls parenting ability into question, the case can take on a very different cast.

We can help you figure out what your legal options are and what is likely to work for you and your family. This includes sound advice on questions like child support guidelines, parenting time/visitation, child custody modification, and relocation (moving away) to another area.

Talk with us and our lawyers will guide you through this difficult process. For more information about child custody, or to schedule an appointment to come into our office in downtown Troy, contact us
