Our directory lists 6 custody and family law attorneys serving Queens and the surrounding New York City area.
New York courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, weighing factors like each parent's caregiving role, stability, the child's needs, and each parent's ability to support the child's relationship with the other parent. There is no automatic preference for either parent.
In New York, legal custody is the right to make major decisions about a child's upbringing (education, health, religion), while physical custody (also called residential custody) refers to where the child primarily lives. Either can be shared (joint) or held by one parent (sole).
Fees vary by the complexity of the case and the attorney's experience. Many family law attorneys offer an initial consultation, so it is worth contacting a firm directly to discuss your situation and their fees.
