These are some mistakes youre going to want to be mindful to avoid. PREVENTING THE OTHER PARENTS ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN. LYING ABOUT DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE. NOT PREPARING FOR COURT SPECIALISTS. INVOLVING YOUR CHILDREN IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. WORKING TOO MUCH. NOT PUTTING YOUR KIDS BEST INTERESTS FIRST.
Courts may find a parent unfit if theres a pattern of substance abuse, neglect, mental illness, or violence. Being inconsistent, unreliable, or unstable can also factor into this assessment.
In most custody battles, the winner is the parent who can best demonstrate that they serve the childs best interests. While mothers still win more cases overall, the gap has narrowed as fathers play a greater role in raising their children.
Permanently neglected the child for at least 12 months by failing to maintain contact with the child and plan for the future of the child. Legally abandoned the child for at least 6 months.
After considering the evidence presented, the court will award custody based upon what is in the childs best interests. In some counties in New York City, a custody or visitation case may be heard by a Family Court court attorney-referee, who may hear and decide the case and issue orders.
