Long Island Fathers' Rights Attorney
Advocating for the Rights of Men in Long Island
For a very long time, fathers have not enjoyed equal rights with mothers when it came to the custody of their children after a divorce. It was traditionally assumed that that the best interests of the child were better served by the mother, nature's caregiver. But, as women became increasingly involved in the workforce, men became more involved in raising the children. As a result, fathers not only began seeking custody of their children but have become more successful at obtaining that result.

Nassau County Family Attorney
New York is one of only seven states that do not award joint custody to both parents. The only way to enjoy joint custody is for both parents to agree to it. The courts simply determine which parent better suits the "best interest of the child" and then award full custody to that one. If you are a father seeking custody of your child, you must be prepared to overcome a persistent predilection that the mother is the better choice for custody and you will need a skilled, experienced lawyer to make sure that you make the strongest case possible to win custody.
The Virdone Law Firm, P.C. has represented many fathers throughout Nassau County and the surrounding areas seeking custody and proper visitation and we are more than ready to negotiate or fight for the rights of the father. We are committed to equality under the laws and we fully believe that there are many circumstances where the father is the better provider of what is in the best interest of the child. In the event that the father is not awarded sole custody, we do all that is possible to ensure that the he is awarded proper visitation rights that allow him to be the actively participating parent he wants to be.
