You already pay child support. Then comes the bill for soccer. Do you have to pay that too?

In New York, sports expenses are generally covered by basic child support—but your agreement may require additional payments. A judge can also order a departure from the usual rule, with the required explanation. Before paying—or refusing—check your agreement and court order, including any consent requirements.

Attorney Gary Port explains what parents should look for before the next sign-up.

A court order can give you the authority to protect someone. The work begins when you walk through the door.

In “There Is Not Enough Soap in the World,” I share an experience as a court-appointed guardian that stayed with me long after I left the house—and what it taught me about vulnerability, dignity, and a woman’s wish to go home.

AI can draft. It can research.
It can organize information. I use it myself.

But a divorce or Family Court case involves judgment, strategy, credibility, negotiation, and understanding the person sitting across the desk.

Sometimes your lawyer’s most important job is telling you something you really don’t want to hear. Use AI as a tool. Not as your lawyer.

A common custody myth is that once a child reaches a certain age, they simply get to choose which parent they want to live with.

That is not how New York custody cases work.

A child’s wishes can matter, and generally the older and more mature the child, the more weight those wishes may carry. But the judge still has to decide what arrangement is in the child’s best interests.

I also represent children in custody cases, and one thing I tell parents repeatedly is this:

Do not coach the child.

A child should not be turned into a witness, messenger, or weapon in a fight between parents.

This is Divorce Myth #5 in my series about what actually happens in New York divorce and custody cases.

A retirement account can be titled in your name and still be partly marital property.

If the benefit was earned during the marriage, your spouse may have a claim to part of it, whether it is a 401(k), pension, TSP, or another retirement benefit.

Before signing a divorce agreement, know what those retirement benefits are worth and how they will be divided.
