When a married couple with children eventually separates, the topic of child custody comes up to address the kids' new living and financial situations. If there is a custody disagreement, your case will be heard by the Family Court of New York. Child custody, child support, visitation, orders of protection, domestic abuse, and neglect are just a few of the issues to take into account. Always make decisions with your child's best interests in mind.
The several forms of child custody granted in New York include:
- Full Custody - As the name entails, “full custody” grants you complete control over your children's life.
- Physical Custody - The parent granted “physical custody” is the parent with whom the children live with.
- Joint/Shared Custody - “Joint or shared custody” is a shared form of custody where the arrangement allows both parents to be equal decision-makers in their children's lives.
Paternity in New York
Finding the child's father is a key step in a paternity case and may result in further legal issues like visitation, custody, and support. It is well-known that DNA testing is used in New York to establish paternity, and our attorneys know the scientific procedures used in a paternity lawsuit.
