What about Child Custody and Visitation?

Child custody and visitation will be determined by the court with the best interests of the child in mind. In cases where child custody is disputed, New York will often appoint a law guardian (a lawyer appointed by the court to represent the child or children) who will make an investigation and issue a recommendation to the court regarding child custody and visitation. Some of the possibilities for child custody are sole custody, joint custody, or shared custody. It is advised that you speak with your lawyer about these options.
