A:
This is a possibility. You need to speak with a domestic relations lawyer in NY, plus get a DWI attorney, to try to reduce or win your case. For the DWI lawyer, look at NCDD.com. For a top family law attorney, go to SuperLawyers.com, and put in "divorce" for your city or area in the State of NY.

A: Are you driving your kids places? Is the DUI relevant to your parenting? Do you have an alcohol problem? These issues may be relevant in a custody proceeding. Has the other parent filed for a modification of custody based on your DUI, or has it otherwise come up in court? More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
