NY Father's Rights

NY Father’s Rights

Some decades ago, divorce proceedings tended to favor the mother in matters regarding the children. Of course, times have changed, and the courts' application of the law has evolved to reflect this. In any matter regarding shared children in a divorce, fathers have rights equal to the mother's rights. Issues such as child custody and visitation are determined based on the best interests of the children and any factors relevant to this central issue are taken into account.

Understand Your Rights As a Father During a Divorce

In this day and age, it is common for mothers to be gaining more traction as breadwinners and serious forces in the workplace. Men are therefore becoming more and more common figures in the family environment—even taking the place as stay-at-home dads to help raise children while the mother pursues a career. It is for this reason that fathers have rights that should be protected during the divorce process, which may include the right to receive child support.
