How to find a Jewish lawyer who speaks Yiddish?

My fiancée and I are Orthodox and speak primarily Yiddish. We need a lawyer to draft a prenuptial agreement for us because my family owns several businesses in and around Crown Heights and they want to keep those businesses in our family should anything happen to my marriage. My fiancée is agreeable. How do I locate a Jewish Orthodox attorney with a good reputation who speaks Yiddish? Does my fiancée also need an attorney also or can we use the same one for purposes of the prenuptial agreement?

How do I get on the adoption registry in New York?

I am interested in adopting a child and am told that you can make your interest known to the various adoption agencies by registering in one location. I’ve searched online but can’t find one place to register, just individual agencies that require you to sign up with each of them and go through a separate application for each. Is there actually one place I can register with and one application I can complete to put my name on the list for an infant that might be placed with any of these agencies? Also, are there any registries specific to Jewish people? I am Jewish and would be a good match if a Jewish mother is looking to place her baby with someone who will raise the child in the Jewish faith.

Do I have to use savings and retirement to pay child support?

I’m having trouble paying my regular child support because my work hours were cut due to Covid. I work for a computer company in Chicago and we can’t get supplies in from overseas due to the lockdowns and transportation delays. The income reduction is definitely not my fault or choice. My ex knows that I have a fair amount saved in the bank and in my retirement account. She wants me to pay the regular child support payments with that money. Says if I seek a reduction or stop paying the support she’ll let child support know I have these funds. Am I obligated to pay child support out of my savings and retirement? I thought the support amount was based on your income only.
