Bayside Family Law Attorneys
Representing & Protecting Your Best Interests
The law affects virtually every facet of our lives. One of the most impactful areas of law involves marriage and relationships. Many adult Americans have aspirations to get married and start a family. Furthermore, a significant number of married couples end up getting divorced. Marriage is a legally recognized relationship that is the source of certain duties an individual assumes by law. Moreover, the parent-child relationship is a special relationship recognized by law that serves as the basis for several legal rights and responsibilities. For couples who are not married, there are still legal issues with regard to custody, travel, child support and ownership of property. Some couples are concerned about inheritance, separate property, IVF, medical costs, and guardianship. Our firm handles all of these issues!
The chances of someone encountering a legal issue related to family law are significant. Some family law matters can be “messy” or complicated. In such cases, you should seek the professional counsel of a licensed Bayside family lawyer at Wisselman, Harounian & Associates.
Our legal team has focused their practice on assisting Bayside residents and their families with major legal disputes involving New York divorce and family law.

- Divorce: A couple with plans to end their marriage faces significant legal issues that are often very complex. We can guide you through each stage of the divorce process.
