Custody cases are centered on the child’s best interests.
In New York, courts focus on what supports a child’s safety, stability, and overall well-being, not just what either parent prefers.
This can include factors such as caregiving history, school routines, healthcare needs, and how well parents communicate and support the child’s daily life.
For example, a parenting plan built around consistent school attendance, medical care, and structured routines can help create a stable environment for the child.
