Any father, whether going through a divorce or a custody fight, needs an attorney experienced in representing their rights.

When going through a divorce involving children or going to family court to enforce your rights as a father, there are going to be issues of custody, visitation and support. Many fathers are concerned that courts favor the mother for sole custody. There is reason for that concern. While it is true that New York law is gender neutral and courts for the most part endeavor to be gender-blind when it comes to custody the reality is from our experience that in practical application judges see this issue differently. Depending on the area of New York and which court on Long Island you are in, the climate towards protecting fathers’ rights can often vary from warm to cold.

When representing a father in a father’s rights case, we may be forced to prosecute the case before a judge who simply feels the case should be settled like most of the others, with the mother having custody, the father having visitation, and paying support. That is why it is important to have a Long Island fathers' rights lawyer looking out for you. We are very interested in helping fathers know their rights when it comes to any divorce or other Long Island family law matter.

Times have changed; 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.
