If you are a parent separating from your partner, legal and physical custody of your shared children is likely one of your primary concerns. Whether or not you were married to your partner when your child was born, both parents have legal rights and obligations that can be exercised. Child custody disputes can be highly emotional, as parents cherish their relationships with their children.
Child support is a legal obligation of one parent to make payments to another parent for the benefit of their shared children, as well as pay a percentage of expenses for unreimbursed medical expenses and work-related child care. Specifically, child support compensates a parent for their children's basic needs and expenses, including health care, childcare, clothing, housing, food, and educational needs.

Dolan law and attorney Nicole Carnemola provided excellent legal services! I had no idea what I was doing embarking on my divorce journey and she walked me through every step with ease. I felt completely supported and her immediate responses and follow up allowed me to minimize my fears and anxieties. She was truly amazing and knowledgeable I would recommend Dolan law 10xs over!

I had a very contentious divorce, however they were able to use their excellent skills and expertise to resolve my case in my favor. The attorneys were always extremely responsive, and always took my concerns seriously. I hope to never go through this process again, however if I do, I know who I will reach out to.

Got rear-ended and had no insurance. Walked away with a cervical neck sprain. Michael and his team worked to ensure I not only received medical treatment but he also handled both insurance companies which was more of a headache than having someone smash into your bumper. I was always confident in his ability to take care of the issue. He even worked in a deal for me. If you don't use Dolan and Dolan you're not doing it right!

I contacted Dolan and Dolan based on a trusted recommendation and was extremely satisfied when my DMV citation was overturned. Matt was immediately responsive, clear in his brief communication with me, and very effective with the result. I never had to appear in court and was professionally and honestly treated with ultimate efficiency. I highly recommend Dolan and Dolan and am grateful for their service.

I sought Dolan & Dolan service for a divorce and custody battle.
Attentive and compassionate through the whole proceeding, Mattew gave clear solid advise while being respectful of our wishes. Every aspect of the case was address in timely manner despite the distraction presented from the opposite party. I absolutely recommend his legal services to others.
