Protecting Mothers’ Rights to Child Support & Custody

While there have been significant advances in fathers’ rights during divorces in recent years, it is important that they do not come at the expense of a mothers’ rights. Both a mother and father have intrinsic rights to raise and care for their child that cannot be justifiably pushed aside or overlooked. If you are a mother going through a divorce and you feel like your rights are being ignored in favor of your husband’s, you cannot hesitate to seek legal counsel to rebalance the playing field again.

A Mother's Rights Must Be Respected

When the New York divorce court’s total history of judgements is reviewed, there seems to be a historically positive bias towards giving mothers preferential treatment child custody rulings. In some cases, this is an unfortunate consequence of a father's rights being unfairly revoked. In others, it is merely the outcome of the mother being the right choice of primary parent for the child. The court needs to decide based on a child’s best interests, not either parents.

You can show that you deserve physical or legal custody of your child if you:

  • Maintain steady employment with respectable income
  • Do not have a criminal record of violence or DUI
  • Keep a healthy, happy relationship with your child
  • Show no need to relocate in the immediate future

In some situations, a mother's rights might be challenged based on the uncertainty of adoption. If your child is not your biological child, your ex-spouse may argue that you have not inherited full rights as a mother. A divorce attorney’s help will be required to resolve such a complex matter amicably.
