Family Court Lawyer

Serving Clients in Westchester and Queens Counties

Handling cases in family court requires a delicate balance between understanding the concerns of the families involved and taking an aggressive stance to protect their rights. I am attorney David Bliven, and from my offices in White Plains and Jamaica, I handle a wide range of cases in family court, from child custody and paternity disputes, to child abuse and juvenile law cases.

As a former prosecutor for Child Protective Services here in New York, I understand the family court process. Having handled hundreds of trials from both sides of the aisle, I know what you can expect from the process and I know what it takes to get results.

In New York, family court has concurrent jurisdiction with divorce court. Family court handles the vast majority of child support, adoption, abuse, neglect, delinquency, and other cases directly involving the concerns of children. It handles cases involving both married and unmarried parents, including:

• Child Custody
• Visitation
• Abuse & Neglect
• Domestic Violence
• Child Support
• Paternity
• Adoption
• Juvenile Delinquency

Child Support & Custody

In most cases, the court grants custody to the parent who has the children at the time of the breakup of the relationship. Whatever circumstances surround your personal situation, you want to take action as soon as possible and talk to a lawyer who knows how to make the best case for your parental rights.

Representing mothers and fathers, my first priority is always to do what is best for my client, and of course, their children. Providing a game plan, I make sure my clients have the information they need to make an informed decision about the future of their family. Ready to fight or negotiate, I will leave the final decision up to you.
