New York has legislated laws intended to protect and prioritize the best interests of children caught in the crosshairs of divorces and separations. In them, the state strives to ensure both parents are able to maintain meaningful relationships with their children whenever possible. New York defines custody in two primary ways:
This type of custody refers to a parent’s right to make major decisions pertaining to their child’s upbringing. Subsets of this include things like education, healthcare, and religion. New York divides legal custody into sole or joint custody.
Physical custody refers to where a child lives. In instances where their parents are separated, the non-custodial parent has visitation rights, not custody rights.
The child’s best interest is the standard courts use in custody and visitation cases. This is comprised of many factors, including:
The child’s preferences are also considered, assuming they’re of suitable age and maturity.

A child visitation attorney can help you in several key ways.
Mediation may pan out for some, but it doesn’t for many. This is when having a skilled and assertive child custody dispute attorney in your corner can be invaluable. If you’re on the cusp of a contested case, Jeffrey Johnson will step in and flex his experience with the legal system. He knows what courts take into consideration when heated disputes arise. More than that, he knows how to craft a compelling case that will go far to get the judge to see your perspective and secure the outcome your child needs.
Filling out and submitting paperwork is never a delight. This is especially true in legal cases, where it can feel like the words on the paper are written in what seems to be English but, as far as you are concerned, are actually in a different language. Between all the legalese jargon, deadlines, and minor oversights that could cost you precious time and money, Jeffrey Johnson will handle it all and mitigate these risks for you.
If you’ve undergone a significant change in circumstances since the time your existing custody or visitation orders were made, you can request a modification to them. Moving, getting a new job with a considerably different salary, or general concerns about your child’s safety, are some common reasons a modification may be granted.
This process is incredibly difficult to manage without a requisite knowledge of the law and experience handling these requests. As your child custody modification lawyer, Jeffrey Johnson can help you navigate this process and seek—or oppose—changes.
