New York Child Custody And Visitation Laws

In New York, family law judges base custody and visitation decisions on the child’s best interests. Any modifications to an existing plan are also evaluated with this principle in mind. For example, if a child is old enough to express a strong preference about visitation, we can help develop a plan that balances the parent’s right to visitation with the child’s wishes.

Similarly, if one parent relocates far enough to make shared custody impractical, we can assist in crafting a visitation schedule that accommodates the distance while maintaining a meaningful relationship between the child and both parents. With decades of experience in creating practical parenting plans, we can suggest innovative solutions tailored to your unique circumstances.

In some cases, modifications are necessary because a parent is no longer providing a safe or stable environment for the child. If one parent is struggling with substance abuse, neglect, or other unsafe behaviors, we can gather the necessary evidence and advocate for a revised plan that prioritizes the child’s safety and well-being. Our attorneys are prepared to alert the court to dangerous situations and work toward limiting the unsafe parent’s access to the child when appropriate.
