Child Custody

When children are involved in the divorce process, matters can become especially difficult. Establishing the terms of a child custody agreement can be complicated, which is why it is essential to have a seasoned New York divorce lawyer by your side. When you work with Lois M. Brenner, Esq. you can be confident that you have a qualified legal professional on your side, who truly cares about bettering your situation and helping you move forward.


When it comes to the well-being and best interests of your children, do not place your trust in just any attorney. Contact our firm for your consultation with a reputable family lawyer.


Proven Custody Solutions In & Out of the Courtroom

When children are involved in a divorce, New York courts will always base their final custody judgement on what is in the best interest of the children. The judge will initially assume that it is in the children's best interest to have frequent and ongoing contact with both parents after divorce, and will typically try to order a joint custody arrangement. This ruling could change, however; if the judge believes joint custody is not what is in the child's best interests.

Child custody can be one of the most emotionally charged divorce-related matters to work through. With extensive experience in negotiating and mediating family cases, Attorney Brenner has the skills and resources needed to help a client resolve their custody matters in an amicable manner. If the client is unable to work through matters peacefully, our attorney has the ability to take the case to court, where she can aggressively litigate on a client's behalf.

Regardless of if your case can be resolved peacefully or calls for litigation in the courtroom, you can be confident in the ability our attorney has to handle even the most complex cases. If you hire our firm, we will obtain a thorough understanding of you and your family's situation, and then will work to determine the most suitable course of action.

We Protect What Matters Most

    “Lois Brenner is a Warrior for men”
    When I first decided to hire a divorce attorney, I thought a male attorney would be best. Lois Brenner really surprised me. Although she has written a divorce book on women’s rights, she is totally an advocate for men as well. She really understood how much I loved my kids, and listened and understood all the horrible things my wife was doing to destroy their relationship with me. She didn’t miss a beat and really went to bat for me. She reached out to my wife’s attorney every time my wife made any attempt to disrupt my visiting our kids and always demanded the best results. She made herself available, even when she was on vacation! Lois has been there every step of the way in these difficult circumstances. I highly recommend her.

    “I am grateful to Ms. Brenner for helping me get out of a sticky stressful situation.”
    I had a complicated situation wherein I had to get a divorce through publication as my husband and I had not been in contact for 5 years and I was out of the US for a few years. (it was an abusive marriage) I reside in Buffalo and I spoke with several attorneys locally but I did not feel that any of the local attorneys were able able to understand my situation. Some suggested that I locate my husband, and each one of them wanted to start by identifying and listing the assets. Unsatisfied, I started looking for attorneys in NY city, and I found Ms. Brenner through Avvo. During the consultation, she was extremely kind and understanding and agreed to take on my case. Ms. Brenner helped me get a divorce through publication and she/her team took care of everything. All I had to do was provide her with documentation. I am grateful to Ms. Brenner for helping me get out of a sticky stressful situation. I would definitely recommend her to anybody in a similar situation. Thank you, Ms. Brenner.
    “They are smart, tough and highly experienced.”
    Lois Brenner, her colleagues, team of experts and staff are phenominal. I hired them to help me to see my son who had been taken out of state by my wife during this insane pandemic. She decided to take him to stay with family but then she sideswiped me with a divorce. I was devastated. Lois Brenner and her litigation partner fought for me and made it possible for me to see my son. They are handling my divorce now and their strength and support is getting me through a really tough time. They are smart, tough and highly experienced.
    “Lois is a "Rock Star"”
    Lois is a “Rock Star” I was very worried about my daughter who was in a really bad marriage. I started researching divorce attorneys and found Lois Brenner. I called her, discussed my daughter’s horrible marriage and she agreed to meet with us. Since my daughter’s husband wanted out of the marriage too (he was cheating), Lois suggested she help them dissolve their marriage in mediation. To my surprise it worked out. Lois was able to keep my daughter and husband from fighting during their sessions, and she helped them resolve all their financial issues. Since I was paying the fees to help my daughter, not having to go to court saved us a great deal of money. As a father, I am truly grateful for everything Lois did. Her talks with me in the beginning of the process, to calm me down, really helped. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of divorce.

    “I'm grateful you did not give up on us.”
    I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for the wonderful job you did mediating our separation agreement and putting this document together. You not only saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars but helped avoid what would have been a disastrous future in court. I'm grateful you did not give up on us. If I ever am involved in another situation like this, and I hope I never am, I would certainly recommend your services.

    “Inventive Attorney”
    We have Lois Brenner to thank for turning our marriage around. We hired Lois as our mediator when we were considering divorce. When we started working with her and she realized we wanted to try to keep our marriage together she suggested a postnuptial agreement to get our marriage back on track. Having the postnuptial agreement made us both accountable when it came to our issues. Having this doc in place is clearly helping us redefine our marriage in a better way. I don’t know if we will never get divorced, but for now we are respecting each others’ boundaries and are aware of the consequences if we don’t! It was really cool that Ms. Brenner suggested this method as an option. Most divorce attorneys would not have suggested a way for us to try to stay together. She is very talented and unusual in the best possible way. If we choose to take the divorce path eventually we will definitely hire her again. In the meantime we are making it work. She is amazing.
