Understanding the “Best Interests” Standard in Child Custody Cases

In New York, custody refers to a parent’s right to make decisions for their child – not where the child will spend time.

When making this decision, the court will consider a number of different factors, including:

  • The age and maturity of each child
  • A child’s desires – depending on their age
  • The atmosphere in the home
  • Keeping the children (siblings) together
  • The quality of parental guidance and mental health

Courts may also bring in a psychiatrist to interview all of the family members and make recommendations. We can help you avoid custody battles.

    “Best Divorce Lawyers in NYC!!”
    Best Divorce Lawyers in NYC!! I can’t say enough about Lois Brenner. She saved my life. I was really being abused by my husband. I wanted a divorce, but I was scared to leave. Hiring her provided me with a support system that helped me break free of a destructive marriage. She, along with her team of professionals, and her litigation colleague Matt really gave me the backbone to step up and out. My children are safe, I’m back at work, and we are no longer afraid. The ongoing legal and personal support made all of this possible. Working with Lois and Matt was a life-changing experience. Katie M.

    “Smart, tough, responsive Attorney !”
    When my daughter was sideswiped and served with a summons by her husband we called Lois Brenner. I had met Lois when she was giving a seminar on Marriage and Finances. I thought she was really smart. I never dreamt I would be calling her to help my daughter. When we went to see her she put our minds at ease. We immediately knew she was the attorney for us. She managed to negotiate a really good settlement with my son-in-law’s attorney. She was tough and always returned our phone calls and responded immediately to our emails. We even heard from her on weekends!! She was determined to keep us out of court and guided us every step of the way. She was our Angel!!! Mary B.
