Fathers’ Rights in New York

43 states in the U.S. have shared custody requirements, and New York is not one of these. In fact, joint custody is only awarded if both parents agree upon this. It is an unfortunate fact that many times parents do not agree to joint custody, and this results in a child being brought up in an environment that is less than ideal – an environment that does not include both parents.

This is one of the many reasons why you need a skilled and aggressive lawyer on your side immediately if you are a father going through any legal matter involving the custody of your children or your visitation rights. You need a legal professional on your side to ensure that your rights as a father are asserted and that you have a say in raising your children and spending time with them.
