Q– What’s the usual allotted parenting time for dads when mom has defacto custody? I live more than 50 miles away from them. Does NY follow any of these evidence based ideas: Sanford L. Braver & Michael E. Lamb (2018): Shared Parenting After Parental Separation: The Views of 12 Experts, Journal of Divorce & Remarriage, DOI: 10.1080/10502556.2018.1454195?
Curious on how judges and lawyers think when it comes to parenting time.
A- NY does not strictly adhere to the cited article. Instead, parental access is driven by caselaw precent & the Judge’s discretion based on the facts of the individual case. The usual rule for a non-custodial parent is alternate weekends, a split of holidays/breaks & 2-4 weeks in the summer. Sometimes the Court will award 1-2 mid-week visits, which may be just dinner visits or overnites. You’re best recommended to schedule a consult with a White Plains Child Custody attorney for a full assessment.
