New York does not award custody to a preferred parent (i.e. mothers are not automatically granted sole custody).  Child custody, whether sole or joint custody, is awarded based on the best interests of the child.  This means that the court professes a "gender-blind" attitude and uses criteria to make a custody determination that will most benefit the child or children.  It is important to understand the court's decision making processes so you know your rights and responsibilities in such a case.  A Long Island child custody lawyer at our firm may help you become knowledgeable in this regard.  A possible option is taking advantage of our ability to provideNYS Certified Parenting Plan Mediation.  This can be very useful for creating a more amicable child custody and/or visitation agreement.
