Do You Need the Help of a Professional in a Divorce, Child Support, or Custody Legal Matter?

Family law is an umbrella term for legal matters and proceedings involving divorce, paternity, alimony, child custody, and child support. Family law in New York also allows for certain marital agreements, such as prenups or postnups, as well as post-judgment modifications.

In many family law cases, people cannot agree to the terms of an arrangement, making court intervention necessary. However, even in uncontentious family law cases where both parties agree on the most important terms, these cases typically still must be filed in court to review and register the agreements.

Our New York City law firm, led by founding attorney Julio E. Portilla, has extensive experience helping individuals and families with complex legal issues. Whether you are going through a divorce or an annulment, seeking spousal support, or negotiating for more favorable child custody and support arrangements, our legal team is here to assist you.

Divorce cases are the most common type of family law cases in New York. These legal matters arise when two married spouses wish to end their relationship with one another and live separately. In divorce cases, marital assets, debts, and liabilities are subject to New York’s asset distribution rules. Additionally, if the marriage resulted in children, arrangements for the child’s care and financial support must be decided during divorce proceedings. Depending on the unique circumstances of your case, an annulment may also be possible, or you may wish to consider a legal separation agreement, which could provide you and the other spouse with time to reconsider and reconcile.

Child custody is a frequent source of conflict in many family law cases. Disputes over custody can arise during divorce proceedings, paternity cases, and child support issues. Child custody refers to more than just where the child resides; it also refers to the legal decision-making authority a parent has over a child’s education, health, and well-being. Once legal custody has been determined, which could be awarded as either sole or joint legal custody, the courts must then make decisions regarding the child’s residential placement. Your attorney can help you with negotiations for a fair child custody arrangement.

In divorces, separations, and child support cases, the ex-partners may have reason to negotiate for financial assistance. Spousal support, also known as alimony or spousal maintenance, helps level the playing field between the two parties after a divorce, awarding financial support to the lesser-earning party on either a temporary or permanent basis. 

If you need legal assistance arguing for a suitable arrangement, please contact our family law attorney to discuss your case in more detail today.

Have You Suffered Injuries in an Accident Caused by Someone Else’s Negligence?

Have you or a loved one been injured in a serious accident caused by another party’s negligence, recklessness, or malicious intent? Depending on the particulars of your case, you may be entitled to seek justice and financial recovery by filing a personal injury lawsuit. Sometimes, recovering financial compensation in a personal injury case is not always as simple as it seems. Accident victims are encouraged to seek professional legal counsel to help them obtain the economic and non-economic damages they deserve.

The value of your personal injury case will depend upon several different factors, including the severity of your injuries, lost wages, the inability to return to work, property damage, ongoing care, lost enjoyment of life, and wrongful death. 

Potential financial recovery may include the following damages:

  • Disability, disfigurement, or dismemberment settlements
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish compensation
  • In-home care costs and childcare costs
  • Lost wages if forced to miss work, and lost income-earning capacity for future earnings if unable to return to a former place of employment
  • Past medical bills and future medical expenses, including prescription medications, new medical equipment, surgeries, hospital stays, emergency transportation expenses, and rehabilitative therapy expenses 
  • Physical pain and suffering compensation
  • Property damage and vehicle repair costs
  • Wrongful death damages, which may include lost benefits, lost income, lost companionship, and compensation for funeral, memorial, and burial expenses


The surest way to determine whether you have a valid case is to speak with an attorney in a consultation. Our law firm is well-versed in New York personal injury law and would be proud to represent your interests in pursuit of a favorable outcome to your case.
