Courtney D. Greenberg
From navigating the emotions of a contentious custody battle to crafting a prenuptial agreement that honors both love and legacy, Courtney approaches every client’s story with empathy, clarity, and strategy.
She understands that family law isn’t just about legal rights; it’s about deeply personal decisions that shape her clients’ lives and futures.
Courtney is a compassionate and skilled advocate who focuses her practice on domestic relations and family law. She represents individuals and families in matters including divorce, child custody disputes, paternity actions, support (alimony and child support), and removal cases. Whether in the courtroom or through alternative dispute resolution, Courtney is known for her ability to guide clients through emotionally complex issues with a steady hand and a clear, solution-oriented mindset.
Her practice has evolved alongside the changing landscape of modern families. In recent years, she has observed a significant increase in clients seeking prenuptial agreements to safeguard premarital assets, protect future inheritances, and preserve generational wealth. She works with people of all ages and relationship structures, guiding them to take steps that provide for financial clarity and peace of mind in the future, in the event of death or dissolution of marriage.
Secured Sole Legal and Physical Custody for Father in High-Conflict Modification Matter
- In a complex 209C custody, support, and parenting time modification case, where Mother by default has sole legal custody, Courtney successfully had custody flipped, she secured sole legal and physical custody for the father of a young child. The outcome granted the father full decision-making authority and limited the mother’s parenting time to supervised visits, reinforcing the child’s safety and stability.
Achieved 50/50 Parenting Plan Through Strategic Litigation
- Courtney advocated for and procured a shared parenting plan on Further Temporary Orders, effectively reversing a prior order that had significantly limited her client’s time with their child. The previous order—entered by former counsel—allowed Courtney’s client only supervised visits every other weekend and one midweek evening visit. Her efforts restored parental parity and reinforced the client’s role in their young child’s daily life.
Negotiated Settlements in High-Net-Worth Divorce Cases
- Courtney has successfully negotiated and settled multiple divorce matters outside of court that involve marital estates valued at over $30 million. Her approach preserves client privacy while ensuring thoughtful, efficient, and financially sound outcomes for individuals navigating complex asset division.
