Determining Child Custody in New York

A separating couple will have the opportunity to reach a child custody agreement out of court through the process of mediation. If the couple cannot agree on a child custody plan, the court may see fit to intervene and issue a child custody order. The court will assess many factors when determining a child custody arrangement. Every family court judge will act according to what is presumed to be in the best interests of the child or children.

According to New York Domestic Relations Law, the courts may consider the following in child custody cases:

  • A child custody agreement that was developed in the past and is currently being used successfully by both parents and all minor children involved in the marriage
  • Each parent's ability to cooperate with the other parent and to encourage a healthy relationship with the other parent
  • Which parent has been a primary caregiver or nurturer in the past
  • The need for stability in the child's life
  • Parenting skills of each parent; their individual strengths and weaknesses
  • Parents' financial ability to provide for child's special needs
  • The quality of the home environment that each parent provides
  • Mental and physical health of the parents
  • Whether there has been domestic violence in the family
  • Work schedules and childcare plans of each parent
  • Child's relationship with siblings
  • The child's desires or preferences
