Fathers' Rights Lawyer Serving Long Island

Long Island Divorce Attorney

When going through a divorce involving children-whether divorce mediation, uncontested divorce or divorce litigation in court-child custody, child support and visitation are going to be issues.  A father may be concerned that courts favor the mother for sole custody.  This is not the case.  New York courts endeavor to be gender-blind when it comes to custody rights.  Men and women have become increasingly equal in their duties at the workplace and at home.  Oftentimes the father has just as much time and energy involved in personally raising the children as the mother.  This is why it is important to have a Long Island fathers' rights lawyer looking out for you.  A family law attorney at Meyers Law Group, PC is very interested in helping fathers know their rights when it comes to any divorce or other Long Island family law matter.  Once you know your rights in regard to custody and visitation, it can be much easier to plan out your fathers' rights case strategy.

Fathers' Rights in New York

New York courts decide on child custody and visitation issues based on the greatest good for the child or children.  Because the best interests of the children are what the courts use to drive primary or joint custody and other visitation arrangements, there is no assumption that either parent would be a better candidate for sole custody (primary custody) simply due to a parent's sex.  A Long Island fathers' rights attorney at our firm may be able to help you sort out what to expect from your case.  You are encouraged to contact us in regard to modification proceedings as well if you are interested in modifying current agreements.
