Family law in Greene County, New York, is governed by the New York State Domestic Relations Law. This law governs all matters related to marriage, divorce, child custody, child support, and other family law issues.

In Greene County, New York, the court has the authority to modify child support orders.

When a parent seeks to modify a child support order, they must file a petition with the court.

The parent must demonstrate a substantial change in circumstances that warrant a modification.

Generally, this requires a showing of a significant change in the financial circumstances of one or both of the parents or a change in the needs of the child. The court will consider a variety of factors when determining whether to modify a child support order, including the income of both parents, the number of children involved, and the child’s needs.

The court may also modify a child support order if the current order is unfair or inequitable. This can occur if the current order does not reflect the current financial circumstances of the parents. For example, if one parent has experienced a significant increase in income since the order was entered, the court may modify the order to ensure that the child receives a fair amount of support.

Additionally, the court may modify a child support order if the current order does not reflect the needs of the child. For example, if the child’s medical or educational needs have changed since the order was entered, the court may modify the order to ensure that the child’s needs are met.

In Greene County, New York, the court will not modify a child support order unless there is a substantial change in circumstances that warrant a modification.

I was living a nightmare of being falsely accused in a judicial system that considers all fathers to be dead beat dads until proven innocent. Living out of state and facing the possibility of jail, I miraculously found Jon’s website and called his office. Within a week the tables were turned, the lies were exposed, and the harassment was stopped. If you need someone that will challenge the system, then you need Jonathan Katz. Greg Weaver

Jon’s integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know what's important to you. You’re not just a number. He is upfront with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if that's truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for what's important to his clients. John Morrissey

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting myself. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution. Diane Chiriani

Jon thinks well, works to be clear and honest. He works to get to a strong argument. He seems to have a good working relationship with everybody at the courthouse. I get the feeling he has no trouble thinking like a judge. He is friendly and courteous. He doesn't overbill. He takes and returns calls promptly. His legal staff is friendly and competent. What's not to like? Rick S.

I liked that there was always transparency throughout my case. Genevieve H.
