Under New York law, child custody and visitation decisions cannot be based on a parent’s gender. Instead, the decision must always be based on what is in the child’s best interests. Fathers’ rights can include the right to child custody, the right to child visitation, and the ability to make decisions as a parent. In more and more cases, fathers are also receiving child support payments after a divorce.
