New York, NY family law attorney Lisa Zeiderman talks about her experience in handling custody disputes. She notes that she has handled custody disputes since beginning her legal practice in 2004, representing clients in New York, Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, and Putnam Counties. Her experience includes both negotiating and litigating custody arrangements, parenting schedules, and legal custody decisions. Legal custody involves determining who makes major decisions for the children, including medical, educational, extracurricular, and religious matters. She works with clients to negotiate these decisions whenever possible, but when a resolution cannot be reached at the settlement table, she is fully prepared to litigate and secure a final decision from the court.
