I am trying to seek sole custody of my child and collect child support? But i want the arrangements to stay the same,

Q:  My child father has remarried and has two other children with his new family. We had a previous arrangements for child care but now he is going back on the agreement we originally had. He and my child do not speak or see each other and basically he feels if the child does not want to see him then he is not going to give me child support. I have gone to therapy for him to try to reunite their relationship and nothing to the avail.please let me know if this can be done and what are my options


A: David's Answer:  Yes, under these circumstances, you should be able to obtain an order of sole custody. And so long as you're the custodial parent, you're entitled to an order of support as well. You can file petitions for each at the Bronx Family Court. You should also schedule a free consultation with a Bronx Child Custody lawyer for a full assessment.  -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
