Child custody is an area where New York has an abiding interest.
If you and your spouse, or ex-spouse, can’t come to an agreement about custody, the court will hold a trial and evaluate the competing custody petitions.
The judge will focus exclusively on the best interest of the child.
Typically, for physical custody, you need to demonstrate that you are the best parent to provide a stable, safe, and loving home environment.
