An Overview of Our Fathers’ Rights Practice

Protecting the Interests of Dads for More than 40 Years

For most of the history of divorce, fathers have been given less than a fair shake. Fortunately, that’s changing, as more and more studies show that children benefit from equal access to both parents. If you’re a father of minor children and your marriage has ended in divorce, New York law gives you equal right and opportunity in matters related to custody and visitation. The Law Office of Elliot S. Schlissel can help.

At the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, we offer a free initial consultation in all matters related to the protection of your rights as a father. To set up a meeting, contact us online at info@sdnylaw.com or call our offices, at 718-350-2802 in the five boroughs of New York City, at 516-561-6645 in Nassau County or in Suffolk County at 631-319-8262.

An Overview of Our Fathers’ Rights Practice

We provide comprehensive legal counsel to fathers in all family law matters:

• Child custody and visitation— We will aggressively advocate for you to ensure that the court’s custody and visitation order is in the best interests of your children
• Child support— We’ll ensure that the court correctly calculates child support based on all documented sources of income
• Modification of court orders— When appropriate, we will be your advocate to change custody, visitation or support orders
• Enforcement of visitation— We will take immediate and aggressive action if the mother of your child wrongfully denies you access or visitation
• Relocation issues— We will protect your rights if the child’s mother attempts to relocate outside of the local area or if you wish to relocate for employment or other reasons
• Incidents of parental alienation— We will petition the court immediately upon any evidence that the child’s mother has spoken disparagingly about you or attempted in any other way to alienate the child’s affection for you
• Paternity determinations— We will help you take the right steps to establish paternity and secure parental rights, when appropriate. We can also help ensure that you don’t have responsibility for someone else’s child.

We also represent fathers in a wide range of other matters related to or arising out of divorce. To see the full extent of our divorce and family law practice, visit our divorce and family law website.
