Suffolk, Nassau and Queens County Divorce & Family Law Attorney
Fathers’ Rights, Parental Alienation and Grandparents’ Rights
In today’s society, as divorce becomes ever more prevalent, additional issues often arise that in the past were considered unconventional, but today have significant application and importance. These issues are fathers’ rights, parental alienation and grandparents’ rights.
As a divorced parent myself, I am compassionate about helping my clients with issues involving custody and visitation during a divorce or legal separation. Keeping abreast of the constantly evolving case law and statutes allows my clients to make informed decisions in order to protect their interests and that of their families. Parents throughout Suffolk, Nassau and Queens Counties who are experiencing these issues and who demand exceptional legal representation, should immediately schedule a free consultation by calling our Toll Free number at 1 (888) 543-4867.
Fathers’ Rights
If you are a father going through a divorce or legal separation, it is important to work with an experienced divorce and family law attorney who can protect your rights and that of your children.
A father, just like a mother, plays an integral role in a child’s upbringing, care and emotional stability. It is not uncommon for a father to be awarded custody of his children. The courts assess the “best interest of the child” by weighing the recommendations of a forensic psychologist, the fitness of each parent, and when the child is old enough or mature enough the courts will consider the Childs expressed preferences. Divorce ends the relationship between you and your spouse, but it should never end the relationship between a father and his children. My firm works tirelessly to protect your rights so that you can continue to maintain a strong and loving relationship with your children.
Parental Alienation Syndrome
Parental Alienation Syndrome, or PAS, is now a genuine disorder which is recognized by the courts and is characterized by one parent manipulating and brainwashing a child into disliking or blaming the other parent during or after the divorce. Whether you are going through a divorce, or have been divorced for several years and are now noticing that your children are no longer interested in visiting you. They may start to blame you for the divorce and act sullen or quiet when they visit. You may want to consider the fact that your spouse or former spouse is working to alienate your children from you.
If you believe this may be occurring, immediately contact my office at our local number 1(516) 491-0565. As experienced divorce and family law attorneys, we can provide you with legal options to address your particular situation. Parental Alienation is an underhanded practice that can only have detrimental effects upon a child.
Grandparents’ Rights
In New York, grandparents may request visitation rights (in special circumstances) upon the death or divorce of a parent. Courts will often look at whether the grandparents have established a strong relationship with the child and that it would be in the “best interest” of the child to continue to maintain the relationship with their grandparents.
If you are a grandparent who has been denied access to your grandchild, do not hesitate to call the Law Offices of Jay D. Raxenberg Toll Free at 1(888) 543-4867.
