New York is like nowhere else — including in family cases. The city is five boroughs, and each borough has its own Family Court hearing custody and visitation cases for its residents: Brooklyn (Kings), Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Add distances measured in subway hours rather than miles, and the unforgiving work schedules of its people — and you understand why families here need a provider who is as flexible and organized as it is fluent in Arabic.
Our service across the five boroughs
We serve Arabic-speaking families across New York City: the Palestinian, Yemeni, and Lebanese community in Bay Ridge and southern Brooklyn; the Egyptian community in Astoria and the Moroccan and Algerian families across Queens; the Yemeni community spread through the Bronx; and residents of Manhattan and Staten Island. Visits take place in neutral community settings easily reached by public transit — parks, libraries, quiet family cafes — attended by a professional supervisor for the full session, followed by a written report in English within twenty-four hours, in the factual format New York family courts and law firms work with.
New York's courts are among the most advanced in language access: a hearing interpreter is a free right in Family Court, and Arabic is among the regularly requested languages. Request the interpreter in advance from the court office, and read our full guide to your language rights before your hearing.
From Bay Ridge to Astoria — open your file tonight, and we will speak with you within one business day.
Start your caseWhat sets our service apart in New York
- Scheduling built for a long-hours city: we arrange weekend and evening visits wherever possible, within the court order's terms.
- Locations near the subway: we choose visit venues both parties can reach without a car — half of New York does not drive anyway.
- Total discretion in a tight-knit community: New York's communities are close and word travels; your file with us is a professional secret known only to those who must know.
- Published pricing: a one-time $150 case setup fee and $65 per hour with a two-hour minimum — in a city used to paying far more. Details here.
Questions from New York families
I am in Brooklyn and the other parent is in Queens — where does the visit happen?
We coordinate a fair midpoint both parties can reach easily, fixed in writing before the session. In monitored exchange cases, we stagger the timing so the parents never meet at all.
Do you serve families outside the city — Long Island or New Jersey?
Our New York coverage focuses on the five boroughs; for families in North Jersey we have a dedicated Paterson and North Jersey page. Reach out through the portal and we will confirm exact coverage for your address.
My child speaks more English than Arabic — is that a problem?
Not at all. Many second-generation children mix both languages, and our supervisors are fluent in both, so they follow the entire conversation and document it accurately whatever language it happens in.
