so I have handled custody disputes since
0:06
I’ve actually started practicing law
0:08
which is in 2004 and I have handled
0:11
custody trials in New York County in
0:14
Westchester County and Rockland County
0:17
in Duchess County and in putam county
0:20
and I have worked with people to
0:22
negotiate custody Arrangements parenting
0:25
schedules legal custody which is how do
0:28
people make decisions about their
0:29
children in terms of major decisions so
0:33
who decides for example the issues of
0:35
medical educational extracurricular
0:38
religious those are issues that are
0:40
called major decisions and I have both
0:43
negotiated those decisions at the
0:45
settlement table and I have also
0:47
litigated those decisions in terms of
0:49
getting final decision- making for many
0:51
of my clients so it it just depends you
0:54
know some cases are ripe for settlement
0:57
and some cases unfortunately can’t be
0:59
settled and they need to be decided by a
1:01
judge and I can do either either we will
1:04
work it out at the settlement table and
1:06
if we can’t work it out at the
1:07
settlement table then we’re going to be
1:09
prepared to litigate those issues
