Do Judges In Queens Always Award Custody To The Mother?

June 5, 2015 by Marc Jacob

No, judges in Queens don’t always award child custody to the mother, and there is no law that compels them to do so.

While in most cases one parent will be responsible for the majority of day-to-day care for children after a divorce, judges are strongly interested in helping parents remain close with their children and creating custody agreements that ensure that the bond between both parents and their children is as unhindered as possible by the divorce.

Child custody is decided based on a number of factors, with the role of the court to make a ruling based on what it believes is in the best interest of the child.

While it may feel like a blow if the judge decides that your spouse should have physical custody, that determination usually isn’t a judgment on your fitness as a parent.

Judges want to help maintain as much stability in a child’s home life as possible, and the parent who can provide that has a strong case for custody.

The attorneys at Zelenitz, Shapiro & D’Agostino have helped many parents in Queens develop strong, comprehensive custody petitions that keep them close to their kids.
