Fathers' Rights

Understanding a Father's Right to Child Custody in New York

In Long Island and throughout the State of New York, the topic of fathers' rights has become a hot button issue as parents try to resolve complex custody and visitation issues. Fathers do not always receive equal treatment under the law. Despite some gradual improvement, fathers often find their rights trampled by judges, ex-spouses and mediators. If you are dealing with these issues, having an experienced lawyer on your side can make a huge difference.

At the law firm of Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C., we have handled hundreds of cases involving custody and visitation rights and have prevailed in cases where the odds were against the father. We have won cases where legal guardians and forensic psychologists stated that the mothers were more appropriate parents. We know how to cast doubts on their recommendations, and we are not afraid to aggressively defend your rights at trial.

For experienced representation in child custody and visitation right disputes, as well as paternity cases that involve fathers' rights, contact us today to arrange to speak with a lawyer at a free initial consultation.

Fathers Often Face Challenges. Let Us Help You Overcome Yours.

We would all like to believe that the court is impartial when deciding custody issues, but that is often not the case. Even as fathers' rights are gaining recognition in New York and the United States, they have not reached equal status yet, despite helpful legislation and other measures. Forensic psychologists and legal guardians still employ bias in their assessments far too often.

Our goal is to challenge these assumptions and fight back against any prejudice that may disadvantage our clients. We know how to discredit the testimony of forensic psychologists and challenge the recommendations of guardians by presenting information about how a father's schedule and lifestyle are conducive to raising children. Judges and opposing attorneys know our firm and appreciate our honest, aggressive approach to fathers' rights.
