Basic child support in New York covers a child's everyday living expenses, such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. But what about childcare, health insurance, medical bills, or school tuition?

William F. Berglund, Esq. explains which expenses are treated as "add-ons" to basic child support, including:

• How add-on expenses are typically shared in proportion to each parent's income
• When childcare costs must be divided between parents
• How health insurance premiums and uncovered medical and dental costs are handled
• How the court decides whether a parent contributes to private school or college

Thinking about opening a med spa in New York? Before you book your first Botox appointment, there are a few rules you need to know.

New York does not issue a single "med spa license." Instead, your obligations depend on the services you offer, who performs them, and how your business is structured. And if you plan to offer injectables, laser treatments, IV therapy, or GLP-1 weight-loss medications, the ownership rules may surprise you.

Our Health Law team breaks down who can own a med spa, which services are considered medical, and what options exist for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses who want to enter the industry.

A divorce that requires estate planning and real estate counsel.

Not every difficult medical outcome is malpractice — but some are.

The difference comes down to one question: did your provider fail to meet the standard of care that a competent professional in the same field would have rendered?

If a preventable error caused real harm — a missed diagnosis, a surgical mistake, the wrong medication — you may have a claim. The only way to know for certain is to have the situation reviewed.

We represent individuals and families throughout the Capital Region, including Upstate New York, who are navigating these exact questions. If something does not feel right about the care you or a loved one received, we are here to listen.

This past weekend, members of our community came together for the 26th Annual Saratoga Bridges Great Pumpkin Challenge, an event filled with energy, compassion, and remembrance.

For one family, the race has become a tradition of honoring the life of Nora Ann Pitts, who passed away at just three years old from mitochondrial disease. Each year, her loved ones and friends wear bunny ears as a symbol of Nora's memory, turning the 5K into something much greater than a race. It is a tribute, a celebration, and a reminder of the power of community.

We are proud that one of our own, Matt Dorsey, participated in this year's event, joining hundreds of others in support of Saratoga Bridges' important programs and the families they serve.

Events like this remind us that while grief is deeply personal, remembrance and resilience are strengthened when shared.
