Family Law

At The Viera Law Firm, we understand that divorce can be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences a person can face. Our role is to help you navigate this transition with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

Whether your divorce is uncontested or involves complex financial or custody matters, we guide you through every step, from initial filings to final agreements. We handle all aspects including property division, spousal support, debt allocation, and parenting arrangements.

Our focus is on helping you make informed decisions and reaching fair resolutions that protect your rights and your financial stability. Whenever possible, we promote cooperative solutions that reduce conflict and preserve peace of mind, but when necessary, we advocate zealously to protect your interests in court.

Every child deserves financial security and stability. At The Viera Law Firm, we help parents establish, modify, and enforce child support orders that are fair, accurate, and consistent with New York law.

We carefully analyze income, expenses, and childcare costs to ensure all support calculations reflect reality, not assumptions. We also assist with enforcement actions for unpaid support and help negotiate adjustments when financial situations change.

Our goal is to secure an arrangement that supports your child’s needs while maintaining fairness and balance between both parents.

When children are involved, the emotional stakes are high and the decisions you make today can shape their future.

Our firm helps parents develop custody and visitation arrangements that reflect the best interests of the child while respecting family dynamics, cultural values, and parental relationships. We assist in both initial custody determinations and post-judgment modifications when circumstances change.

We take a compassionate yet strategic approach, protecting your parental rights, ensuring stability for your children, and working toward practical solutions that foster cooperation whenever possible.

Spousal support, also known as maintenance, can be one of the most contested aspects of a divorce. We help clients understand how New York’s maintenance guidelines apply to their circumstances and advocate for fair outcomes.

Whether you are seeking support or being asked to provide it, our firm focuses on realistic, evidence-based assessments of income, lifestyle, and future needs.

We provide clear guidance on temporary and post-divorce maintenance, modification requests, and enforcement, ensuring your financial rights are protected through every stage of the process.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are not about mistrust, they are about mutual clarity, transparency, and protection.

We help couples craft clear, fair agreements that define financial expectations, protect individual assets, and reduce uncertainty in the future.

Each agreement is tailored to your relationship and values, ensuring both parties feel respected and secure. Our goal is to help you build trust and avoid future conflict through honest and proactive planning.

Establishing legal parentage is a vital step in protecting a child’s rights and ensuring parental responsibilities are recognized.

We assist mothers and fathers in establishing or disputing paternity through court petitions, voluntary acknowledgments, and DNA testing.

Our firm works to secure custody, visitation, and child support rights once paternity is confirmed, always keeping the child’s well-being and family integrity at the forefront.

If you are facing domestic violence, harassment, or threats of abuse, you do not have to face it alone.

At The Viera Law Firm, we help clients obtain Orders of Protection quickly and safely through the Family Court system. We guide you through the filing process, represent you in hearings, and connect you with trusted local resources for ongoing safety and support.

We also represent individuals who have been wrongfully accused and need to defend against unfair or false allegations, always maintaining professionalism and discretion.

We understand that not every client needs full representation, sometimes you just need expert guidance to move forward.

Our limited-scope services allow clients to receive professional legal support for specific parts of their case, such as reviewing court documents, drafting agreements, or preparing for hearings.

This flexible and cost-effective option empowers you to stay in control of your case while benefiting from the experience and strategy of a licensed attorney.
