Best Interest of the Child in Queens Custody Matters

The judge will take a number of factors into consideration when determining custody, and our experienced Queens divorce lawyer will implement an effective legal strategy for your case. We will consider the factors of the divorce, the child's relationship with each parent, the income of each parent, and the child's general health and well-being.

The court may consider, for each parent: age and health, availability to the child, mental and emotional stability, drug or alcohol abuse, and willingness to foster a relationship with the other parent. A child who is 12 years or older may have a say about which parent he or she lives with. It is important to remember, however, that a judge will always rule in the best interests of the child.
