Protecting Fathers' Rights in NY

In the state of New York, there is no automatic presumption that the mother should get custody of the children after a divorce. Instead, the best interests of the children should be considered when making a custody determination, without regard to the parents' gender. However, equal consideration for fathers and mothers is more theoretical than actual in the courts today and custody is usually given to the mother.

The Suffolk County Fathers Rights attorneys at the Law Offices of Elliot S. Schlissel aggressively represent the interests of fathers in order to ensure that they are equally considered in child custody cases, as the law requires.

The Importance of a Child / Father Relationship

The National Center of Education Statistics conducted a survey of over 20,000 parents and found that fathers who were involved in their children's education had children who were more likely to get better grades, stay in school, participate in extracurricular activities, and stay out of trouble.

It is widely accepted that the role of the father in his children's life is extremely important and can have a lasting affect on the emotional development of the child. The Suffolk County Fathers' Rights attorneys at the Law Offices of Elliot S. Schlissel are aware of this, and will fight to protect fathers rights in divorce and child custody cases.
