Legal Answers
158 Questions Answered
Q. In terms of a relocation case, how do I show a school district is a good choice?
A: We cannot provide particularized legal advice here online because we do not know the asker's case. In instances involving a relocation, the typical New York family court judge will be looking for economic improvement of the child. That is to say a job relocation that pays more income stands a better chance of being granted than other particularized factors. Bring in a bucket of brochures that promise better times will have no effect.

The asker is best advised to invest in a lawyer. Avoiding court and a possible cross petition by the other parent is a great idea.
Q. How to find out when a temp custody agreement ends
A: This question address how to construe ("construction" of) an agreement. Although we here cannot see the agreement, we imagine it provides for both contingencies: either the agreement terminates on September 21st, or at any other time presumably sooner than September 21st.

We also do not get to the question of how to enforce a breach of the agreement. Informal agreements regarding children are not enforceable in New York.
Q. When do you get an order after trial and decision in family court
A: We here are not clerks of court and cannot render opinions as to how to obtain court orders.

We here are also well aware of the enormous difficulty government has in keeping straight records in a court environment. Corners may have been cut. It may very well be that the judge's order was delivered from the bench and the asker needs to obtain trial transcripts and move to have them so ordered. Alternatively, the clerk of court may have failed to mail copies to the parties and counsel. In that case, the asker must travel to the appropriate court house and ask for a copy from the clerk's record room.
