Long Island Fathers' Rights Attorney

Fighting For the Rights of Fathers in Long Island

If you are a father going through a divorce or legal separation in Long Island, it is important to work with an experienced divorce and family law attorney who can protect your rights and those of your children. When it comes to issues of child support, custody & visitation, spousal support and paternity, you need someone who will fight for your rights as a father to get the best results possible. As a Long Island fathers' rights lawyer, I am not afraid to go to bat for my clients and I do everything I can to ensure that my clients are treated fairly within the family law system.

During my time as a Long Island fathers' rights attorney, I have spoken with many men who have experienced firsthand the unfairness of the family court system. Coming from very different backgrounds, many of these men had suffered the same injustices: rulings from third parties that had essentially forced them out of their children's lives. Throughout the years, I have committed myself to advocating for fathers' rights within the Long Island family court system so that every father can have a fair chance at playing an active, involved role in the lives of their children.

Why Fathers' Rights Are So Important

Fathers, just like mothers, play an integral role in a child's upbringing, care and emotional stability. The presumption that the mother is the proper custodial parent is outdated and unlawful, but sadly many biases still exist within the family court systems, which is why it is so important to have a good Long Island fathers' rights fighting on your behalf. The law should recognize that parenting is a right of BOTH parents and it should not be uncommon for a father to be awarded custody of his children.

If you are currently experiencing difficulty establishing visitation, custody or support with your children, I, along with my team, would like to offer you the information, guidance and legal counsel you will need to come to a satisfactory resolution.

At the Law Office of Jay D. Raxenberg, my team truly understands the difficulties in being a father going through divorce these days. Historically, many family courts have sided with the mother, giving her child custody and leaving the father with visitation rights and a large child support payment. Fortunately, this injustice has been unveiled and many courts work hard to prevent this pretrial prejudice from entering into the room. While all courts try to give each party a fair shot at custody of their children, many fathers still find that they must bring legal protection to ensure that their rights are protected.

My law firm will be at your side to ensure that your rights are not breached in any way during your attempt to get child custody or child support. If you are a better fit to care for your children than your ex-spouse, my law firm will do everything in our power to ensure that the court sees this as well.
