New York custody attorney Ryan Besinque (https://www.besinquelaw.com/how-does-a-court-decide-who-gets-custody-of-a-child/) of the Law Office of Ryan Besinque recently published an insightful article entitled “How Does a Court Decide Who Gets Custody of a Child?” This in-depth article provides a comprehensive overview of the factors New York courts consider when determining custody and provides important insight for parents navigating the complex aspects of custody disputes.
New York child custody attorney Ryan Besinque emphasizes that the court always has the “best interests of the child” in mind in custody cases. He explains, “The court evaluates several factors to assess each parent's ability to meet the child's needs. This thorough evaluation ensures that the custody arrangement promotes the overall well-being of the child.”
In the article, New York child custody attorney Ryan Besinque describes the various factors the court considers, such as the stability of the home environment, the quality of child care, and the mental and physical health of each parent. He points out that the court's decision is rarely based on a single factor; rather, it is a holistic assessment of all relevant aspects.
Besinque explains, “Stability is an important consideration. If a parent has already created a stable environment for the child, the court will likely favor maintaining that stability.” He also stresses the importance of each parent's child care arrangements, their status as primary caregiver, and any history of substance abuse or domestic violence. “The court will consider who the primary caregiver was and whether there are any concerns about drug or alcohol abuse, which can significantly impact the custody decision.”
The article also looks at the parents' mental and physical health, the presence of spousal abuse, and any evidence of child abuse or neglect. Besinque explains, “Untreated mental illness or serious physical illness that affects a parent's ability to care for the child can affect the court's decision. In addition, any history of domestic violence or interference with visitation rights will be closely scrutinized.”
New York child custody attorney Ryan Besinque also explains how the court considers a child's wishes based on age and maturity. “Although the court will consider a child's wishes, especially as they get older, the final decision is based on what is in the child's best interest,” he says. Financial stability, educational opportunities and the conditions in each parent's home environment are also important factors the court evaluates.
The article highlights that both parents are entitled to frequent and regular visits with their children, even if there is a history of substance abuse or domestic violence. “A judge may order supervised visits if there are concerns about the child's safety,” Besinque explains. It also clarifies that custody orders remain valid until the child turns 18, becomes emancipated, or the order is modified due to significant changes in circumstances.
Parents facing custody disputes in New York are advised to seek legal advice to navigate these complex issues. Ensuring that the custody arrangement is in the best interest of the child requires a thorough understanding of the factors involved and the advice of a knowledgeable attorney.
