Fathers’ Rights Help – Protect Your Right to Be With Your Children

Technically, institutionalized maternal preference in child custody cases has not been in practice in New York for decades; however, it is still a matter of fact that courts tend to favor mothers over fathers when making these determinations.

Mothers' rights vs. fathers' rights is an ongoing issue. That is why, as a father, you need a skilled Westchester County fathers' rights lawyer on your side—to make sure that your fathers' rights are protected and that you are given the same consideration as the children's mother during divorce proceedings.

A fathers' rights lawyer at Friedman & Friedman PLLC, Attorneys at Law can help protect your fathers' rights to:

• Custody
• Visitation / parenting time
• Child support

Acknowledgment of Paternity in NY

It may also be important for you to legally establish paternity with an Acknowledgment of Paternity form. This is particularly true if you are not married to your children's mother, nor were you at the time of their conception or birth. Failure to establish paternity could lead to you having no legal rights as a parent regarding your own children.
