I had an excellent experience working with my lawyer Mr. Steven Girsky and his paralegal Ms. Rebecca Keller on my children’s custody case. From the very beginning, they showed genuine care, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the emotional and legal complexities involved in custody matters.
Mr. Girsky was knowledgeable, strategic, and always kept my children’s best interests at the center of every decision. He explained each step of the process clearly, made sure I understood my options, and advocated strongly on my behalf. I always felt like I was in capable hands.
His paralegal Ms. Rebecca was equally impressive—organized, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She made sure all documents were handled promptly, kept communication flowing smoothly, and was always available to answer questions or provide reassurance during stressful moments.
Together, they made a difficult situation much more manageable. I truly appreciate their dedication, compassion, and professionalism. I would highly recommend this team to anyone dealing with child custody issues.

I’m a FATHER who fought for his child and won custody with Steve’s help. That statement alone should tell you how good he is.
Steve is a force in the courtroom. I was in a nasty custody battle full of false accusations. I'm talking sending police to my house so often the officers showing up were sympathetic, CPS reports, and endless courtroom allegations. When emotions are high and accusations are being thrown, he cuts through the noise and keeps everything grounded in facts. He not only helped prove the accusation false, he fought for what was best for my child. You will never know how much that means to me Steve.
What stood out most to me was how he kept things human. He knew when to lighten the mood just enough to pull focus back to the truth, without ever minimizing how serious the situation was. That balance matters more than people realize.
If you’re a parent fighting for your child and you want someone who actually shows up, understands what’s at stake, and knows how to win, I highly recommend Steve.

My husband and I utilized Steve’s services for a step-parent adoption. Everything we could control, went swift and Steve’s team was quick to act. They explained everything thoroughly to us and were supportive. It meant a lot to have Steve’s team on our side and knew that they were advocating for us as much as possible. Everything went so well and I am very pleased with our service. Steve worked with us to set up a payment plan so the cost did not feel as overwhelming. I would recommend anyone who is needing services that Steve’s team can handle!
Frequently Asked Questions About The Law Office of Steven C. Girsky
Can my spousal or child support order be changed?
In some circumstances, spousal support (alimony) or child support orders may be changed. The court refers to these changes as modifications of support orders. Generally, when a request for a change in support is made, the requesting party must show the court that his or her circumstances have significantly changed from the time of the original support order to show the need for an adjustment. While the court considers several aspects of the requestor’s situation, the court uses similar tests and considers similar factors when granting or denying modifications of spousal and child support orders.
What constitutes a “substantial change in circumstances” or “material change”?
A substantial change in circumstances can vary according to your state. A substantial change might include a permanent, involuntary change in employment status, relocation as a result of a job transfer or change, significant financial change in the obligor or the recipient, change in co-habitation status, and change in marital status. As in most family law matters, modification of support orders is governed by state law. To ensure that you have an accurate understanding of your state’s laws, contact an experienced divorce lawyer.
What does the court consider when modifying child support?
When determining whether to adjust an order, the court examines changes in the parents’ resources and child’s needs. Situations that demonstrate a substantial or material change in circumstances include a greater or lesser ability to pay support, a change in the financial resources of the parent receiving child support, a change in the child’s needs, and, in some cases, new marital status for the parent receiving support. While not considered a substantial or material change in circumstances, a noncustodial parent who fails to regularly exercise his or her visitation rights may see an increase in child support obligations to offset the other parent’s expenses.
What does the court consider when modifying spousal support?
While specific rules depend on state law, the court considers two main factors when granting or denying a modification of spousal support. These factors include an increase or decrease in a spouse’s ability to fulfill support payments and whether the spouse receiving support has a greater or lesser need for the payments.
Do custody and visitation affect child support?
Simply stated, yes. When one parent receives sole physical custody, the noncustodial parent will usually be responsible for child support. The division of child custody can impact child support determinations. Additionally, when a noncustodial parent fails to exercise his or her visitation rights, they may face an increase in child support obligations.
