Oftentimes, mothers see their relationship with their children as special, which indeed it is, but the relationship between the father and his children is just as significant, and fathers hold the same rights in these family law matters as mothers do. At this firm, we devote our efforts to finding solutions and strategies for our clients that will result in a favorable outcome.

One major issue involving fathers’ rights is that of child support. Although fathers want to do everything in their power to care for and support their children, they can be taken advantage of in these cases. In New York, child support is based on a percentage of the parental income. This percentage differs based on how many children are in the family. For one child, child support is 17%, for two children it is 25%, for three children it is 29%, for four children it is 31%, and for five or more children is 35%.

Another important area of fathers’ rights is child custody. If the mother of the children is making it difficult for you to see your children, there are steps you can take to protect your rights. If you feel as though your rights as a father have been violated, please do not hesitate to speak with a seasoned Long Island family lawyer from our firm.
