CHILD CUSTODY CASES- 917-519-8417

SO YOU NEED A NEW YORK CITY CHILD CUSTODY LAWYER?

One of the most stressful parts about seperation is who has custody of the child. In New York City, custody cases can be difficult or very amicable.

Whoever has legal custody has the right to make important decisions about a child's care such as medical care or religious upbringing. If the Judge gives joint legal custody, the parents make major decisions about the child together. It doesn't matter which parent the child lives with; both parents must agree on the decisions together. If the Judge gives one parent sole legal custody, only one parent has the right to make major decisions for the child. Whoever has physical custody, also known as residential custody, is responsible for the actual physical care and supervision of a child. If the Judge gives joint physical custody, the child lives with each parent for an equal amount of time. If the Judge gives sole physical custody, the child lives with this adult more than 50% of the time and this person is the custodial party and the noncustodial party will have visitation.
