New York City Child Custody Lawyer Martin Mohr Discusses What Parents Should Do in Child Custody Cases

Jan 4, 2023

January 04, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - New York child custody lawyer Martin Mohr (https://www.newyorkfamilylawgroup.com/blog/ten-commandments-for-parents-in-custody-cases/) releases a new article discussing ten important things for parents to remember in custody cases. The lawyer mentions that child custody and visitation cases are often very emotional and can cause a lot of tension between ex-spouses. If there are children involved, even a divorced couple may still have to interact with each other.

According to the New York City child custody lawyer “Your relationship is now very different and those feelings are not exclusive to you. Studies have shown that children share the impact of separated families. Before you make any decisions, it is important to speak with a qualified New York family law attorney.”

Child custody cases can be emotionally and financially draining for parents, which is why it is important for them to be informed and prepared before entering the process. The New York Family Law Group has compiled a list of "Ten Commandments" for parents involved in custody cases to follow.

Attorney Martin Mohr explains that it is important for both parents to always be respectful of each other. Disrespecting or putting down the other parent can cause the child to be resentful. It is also important to always be generous in allowing the child to visit the other parent or their family on the other parent’s side. This behavior can help the child grow in a more supportive environment.

In the article, attorney Mohr adds, “Never do things like recording conversations, posting to social media, or “live stream” with your children in order to enhance your legal position. This is likely to make things worse and this behavior stresses your child. It is also important to never ask your child about what goes on in the other parent’s home. Children know when they are being used as “spies” and do not like it.”

Finally, it is important for parents to remember that custody arrangements are not set in stone, and can be modified as the needs of the children change. If necessary, parents can seek legal assistance to modify their custody arrangements to better meet the needs of their children.

By following these "Ten Commandments," parents can approach the child custody process in New York with confidence and the knowledge that they are doing what is best for their children. The New York Family Law Group is committed to helping parents navigate this complex process and reach a custody arrangement that is in the best interests of their children.

Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled child support attorney when dealing with matters such as child custody and visitation. A skilled lawyer may be able to help the parents understand their roles and responsibilities in the divorce and help them come to a favorable agreement.

Eala seeks redemption against Shnaider

Eala seeks redemption against Shnaider

IT has been a week since Russia’s Diana Shnaider eliminated Alex Eala at the Ningbo Open in China. That loss extended Eala’s slump of missing the quarterfinal round for the fifth consecutive time. On Friday, world No. 19 Eala will have vengeance in mind when she battles No. 13 Shnaider anew in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Toray Pan Pacific Open at Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan. Eala opened her campaign in Tokyo with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 win over Mika Stojsavljevic in the round of 32 before scoring a come-from-behind win against Talia Gibson of Australia, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0, to reach the last eight. “Staying in the match and never giving up, the first set was difficult, then I had my chances, so I knew to work on every point, and I knew that if I kept my concentration, I would have more chances,” Eala said after recovering from a one-set deficit against Gibson on Wednesday night. This marks Eala’s first quarterfinal appearance since her breakthrough title run at the 2026 Washington Open in August, where she captured her maiden WTA trophy. She was eliminated early in her five previous tournaments in the WTA Tour. She exited in the round of 16 in Montreal, round of 32 in Cincinnati, round of 32 in the US Open, and round of 16 in Singapore. Following a bronze-medal finish at the Asian Games, which is not a WTA Tour-sanctioned event, Eala endured a difficult stretch, including a surprising first-round loss to China’s Shi Han, then ranked No. 217, at the Wuhan Open, where she suffered her worst loss in her career, followed by a recent round of 16 exit to Shnaider in Ningbo. Shnaider earned the right to face Eala after a hard-fought 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory over Aliaksandra Sasnovich on Wednesday. Incidentally, Eala and Shnaider are both left-handed netters. Only a handful of left-handers are in the recent WTA Top 100 list. Among them are No. 11 Maja Chwalińska, No. 23 Leylah Fernandez, No, 32 Sara Bejlek, No. 81 Wang Xiyu, and No. 89 Taylor Townsend. Eala has struggled against fellow left-handers this season, holding a 1-3 record against top-100 southpaws after losses to Fernandez in Stuttgart, Wang Xiyu at the Asian Games, and Shnaider in Ningbo. Her only win came against Fernandez during her Washington title run. The 22-year-old Shnaider boasts five WTA singles titles, having won in Hua Hin (2024), Bad Homburg (2024), Budapest (2024), Hong Kong (2024), and Monterrey (2025). She also claimed Olympic silver in women’s doubles at the Paris 2024 Games with Mirra Andreeva and reached the French Open semifinals in 2026, her best Grand Slam result to date. Eala, meanwhile, has one WTA title (Washington 2026) and two WTA 125 crowns (Guadalajara 2025 and Birmingham 2026).  In 2026, Eala holds a 44-24 win-loss record, compared to Shnaider’s 36-22. Shnaider has played fewer matches this season as she adopts a more selective “Top 15” schedule focused on higher-quality events and better recovery, in contrast to her high-volume 2024 campaign. Eala, still climbing the rankings, continues to compete in a mix of WTA and 125-level events to build consistency and points. The player who will advance in the semifinals will earn 195 ranking points and an assured prize money of $66,003 (approximately P4,224,192). This is Eala’s debut in the Pan Pacific Open, while Shnaider reached the semifinals in 2024 and the round of 16 in 2025.
