Long Island Fathers Rights Lawyer

Experienced Fathers Rights Attorneys Serving Long Island, NY

New York law requires courts to give equal preference to mothers and fathers in custody cases. Despite this fact, fathers come up against a legal tradition of courts favoring mothers in child custody determinations. Until the end of the last century, fathers largely assumed breadwinner roles and mothers assumed the role of homemakers and child caretakers. Remnants of this tradition still influence many divorce cases today, even though most women pursue their own careers, just like men, and New York laws dictate equality. Attorney Chris Palermo offers experienced legal counsel to fathers, helping them level the playing field and protecting their rights in custody matters. We are confident that our Long Island Fathers Rights Lawyer can help you.

The Important Roles Fathers Play In Children’s Lives

Various studies show that children do better emotionally, academically and socially when they have fathers who are actively involved in their lives. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services reports that children from infancy through childhood, with actively involved fathers, benefit in the following ways:

• Higher IQs
• Better cognitive abilities
• Better language skills
• Higher levels of academic readiness
• Greater patience to deal with frustration and stress connected with schooling

From an academic standpoint, active and nurturing fathering showed that children were 43 percent more likely to earn A’s and 33 percent less likely to repeat a grade. So yes, participating in your child’s life matters significantly, and it is worth the effort to take a legal stand to fight for what is in your child’s best interests.
