Family Law

Divorce

A Divorce legally dissolves a marriage and releases both parties from the responsibilities of their union. Ensure that you have a trusted attorney on your side to protect your legal rights, represent you in court, and negotiate your custody, visitation, division of property, etc.

Order of Filiation

An Order of Filiation is a court order that must be filed if the paternity of a child needs to be legally confirmed. The order can be filed “on consent” or as part of a Paternity Case. The Order of Filiation is essential for establishing parental rights, such as custody, visitation, and child support.

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

Spousal Maintenance payments provide ongoing financial support to a spouse after a marriage has been dissolved. Spousal Maintenance is sometimes referred to as alimony, or spousal support, and is awarded in addition to child custody. Standards of living can drastically change after separation or divorce, often leaving one of the two parties financially vulnerable.

Child Support

Child Support is court ordered payments typically made by non-custodial parents to the custodial parent or guardian, to contribute to their child’s needs. Parents have a legal obligation to financially provide for their children. Who is responsible for Child Support will vary dependent upon income levels, and full, shared, or joint custody. My goal is to ensure that fair and reasonable child support is achieved.

Custody

Custody is the court ordered legal and/or physical right of one parent over the care, control, and maintenance of their child. Establishing conclusive Legal and Physical Custody is required to protect your rights as a parent, and more importantly, the best interest of your child. Custody Orders are legally complex and exceed full, shared, or joint custody, but also pertaining factors such as physical care, supervision, medical care, religious upbringing, and day-to-day physical care. Child Support will vary depending on income and custody levels. My goal is to ensure that both fair and reasonable Custody and Child Support are achieved.

Visitation

Clearly defined Visitation Schedules ensure that both children and parents enjoy quality time with one another. Children are often the ones caught in the middle of a failed marriage, and the Law Office of Sean B. Oster is here to advocate for your child’s best interests. Whether the goal is to gain Visitation or change visitation rights—your child’s well-being is the primary goal.

Landlord/Tenant

Non-Payment Proceeding

A Non-Payment Proceeding is a means of evicting a tenant for not paying their rent. Landlords cannot legally evict tenants who fail to pay rent without adhering to the Non-Payment Proceedings. If you are a landlord who requires assistance moving forward with an eviction, please contact my law office today.

Evictions/Illegal Lockout

An Eviction allows Landlords the right to terminate a lease before its end date, or to remove an unauthorized tenant. However, Landlords cannot lock out or evict tenants at their volition. Eviction is part of a lengthy legal process, whereby Landlords must file the proper paperwork. I work with landlords to navigate the complex eviction process, and with tenants to ensure that grounds for eviction are sound, checking the formal process has been followed.

Leases

Residential and Commercial Leases are rental agreements designed to protect the best interests of both Landlords and Tenants. Landlords and Tenants may establish and negotiate appropriate Lease Provisions, pertaining to multiple aspects of property use and tenancy. If you are a Landlord who wants to ensure that your Lease has the appropriate provisions, or a Tenant who requires assistance negotiating or comprehending their Commercial or Residential Lease, please call me today to discuss your needs.

Holdover Proceeding

Holdover Proceedings are a complex means of evicting a tenant for reasons other than Non-Payment of Rent. This could include lease violations, unauthorized tenants, unauthorized subletting, nuisance complaints, squatting, unauthorized pets, property damage, and illegal activity. If you are a Landlord who would like to evict a Tenant for reasons other than Non-Payment, please reach out today to discuss your Landlord rights.

HP Action

Landlords must provide their Tenants with timely repairs and services, as laid out in your Lease. If a Landlord fails to uphold their responsibility, filing an HP Action will protect your Tenant rights. Landlords must provide you with a habitable residence, meaning the timely resolution of essential repairs is required. If your essential repairs have gone unresolved, an HP action will protect your tenant rights, as established by the State of New York.

Succession Rights

Establishing Succession Rights passes your rent-controlled or rent-stabilized lease along to an assigned successor, but Succession Rights are not guaranteed. When you are ready to move to your next residence, you may want to pass along your lease to your roommates or family members looking for a safe and affordable residence.
