Disrespectful Language: Avoid any form of disrespect, including insults, sarcasm, or condescending remarks. This can negatively impact your case. Personal Attacks: Do not make derogatory comments about the opposing party, their character, or their parenting abilities. Focus on the facts rather than emotions.
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.
The court records of Family Court proceedings are not open to public inspection. However, the court may permit access to records where appropriate.
Unmarried mothers often have default custody of the child unless the father petitions the court. Unmarried fathers can seek custody or visitation by demonstrating their commitment to the childs well-being and showing that they can provide a safe, nurturing environment.
The court may use some or all of the factors in the best interest standard to limit visitation rights. This could happen if there have been issues of domestic violence, or the living arrangements are unsafe for the child, or for any other valid reason.

A: Fathers have equal rights to a child as mothers do in New York family court. A father has established custody and visitation rights to the child once paternity has been established. Paternity can be established by court order, acknowledgment of paternity, or legal presumption.
Now, mothers and fathers have equal rights to their children and either parent can be the primary physical custodian of a child, depending on what the court considers is in the childs best interests. More fathers are being awarded full custody and support than ever before in New York and across the country.
