Child custody involves the responsibility of raising a child, including where they live, which school they attend, and their religious and healthcare upbringing. Typically, both parents have custody rights during a divorce, but one parent may have a more active role as the custodian. In New York, the well-being of the child is the top priority in determining custody, with both parents having equal rights. The courts cannot show preference based on gender. Our Long Island child custody attorney is experienced in handling these complex cases.
