As social conventions regarding the family unit have changed, the fathers’ rights movement has gained momentum. This is based on the increasing frequency with which fathers take the role of stay-at-home parents or have a greater or equal hand in raising the children. This is a fair and just view that allows the rights of fathers to be protected where they may otherwise have been violated. It is important to ensure, however, that this process does not allow mothers to become overlooked or disadvantaged.
In any decisions regarding the children of a marriage that is ending, the court is required to give equal consideration to both the mother and the father. By being represented by a Long Island divorce attorney, you will have an advocate for your rights fighting to see that this does occur. In custody matters, a court will consider many factors, including which parent has been the primary caregiver to the children. Any history of child abuse, neglect, or domestic violence, will also be considered, amongst many other factors.
The court will always endeavor to operate and issue orders in the best interests of the child. The attorneys at The Law Offices of Jay D. Raxenberg are well-versed in presenting your case to illustrate how your wishes align with this main guiding factor.
They are able to competently assist you not just with custody matters, but also with child support, spousal support, and any legal issues concerning your children. They feel strongly about protecting your rights as a mother and are sensitive to the fact that the determination of these matters is of great consequence in your life.
If you’re a mother looking to retain custody of your child after a divorce, please don’t hesitate to speak with a seasoned mothers’ rights lawyer from the Law Offices of Jay D. Raxenberg P.C. today. We stand ready to effectively represent you and your child’s best interests, every step of the way.
