Dutchess County Child Visitation Lawyer
Divorcing parents often have different parenting styles and disagreements about custody, visitation and the logistics of co-parenting. At the Law Office of Kelley M. Enderley, we believe that these conflicts can be resolved when the adults are truly focused on the best interests of the child.
There are times when litigation is unavoidable, but we know that the most practical and happy arrangements are created by parents, not judges. Our philosophy is to build on areas of agreement rather than fueling an expensive custody war that turns parents into enemies and children into pawns.

Poughkeepsie Child Custody Lawyer
We represent mothers or fathers in all aspects of child custody:
- Contested custody proceedings
- Disputes over parenting time (visitation)
- Negotiation of parenting plans (schedules)
- Child support
- Modifications and enforcement of custody and visitation orders
- Paternity actions
- Child Protective Services cases
We strive for out-of-court custody agreements, but we make sure that those parenting plans cover all the bases to avoid disputes: weekends, overnights, exchanges, holidays, access to school records, communication with the child and joint decision-making.
Experienced Representation for Difficult Situations
Kelly M. Enderley has practiced in family law since 2005, including hundreds of cases revolving around custody and care of children. She has successfully represented both men and women in seeking full custody or primary physical custody. She has helped non-custodial parents obtain more days of visitation or more flexible time with their children. She has brokered effective agreements for joint custody and shared custody.
While her goal is to avoid unnecessarily litigation, she has tried custody disputes and cases involving parental alienation, parental relocation, interference with visitation, and removal of children from the home for drug addiction or child abuse.
Kelly M. Enderley is in family court on a daily basis. She knows the judges and how they are likely to rule on a given matter, and she uses that to shape her approach to the conflict. She frequently gets referrals from a father's rights organization for her effective advocacy on behalf of dads who are seeking fair treatment in custody and visitation.
