Manhattan Child Custody Lawyer Ryan Besinque Discusses Whether Joint Custody is the Best Option for Divorcing Parents

Manhattan child custody lawyer Ryan Besinque (https://www.besinquelaw.com/what-does-joint-custody-even-mean-and-is-it-right-for-you/) releases a new article explaining what joint custody looks like and whether it's the best choice for divorced parents. The lawyer says that parenting can be one of the most difficult aspects of a divorce process. It is important to consider the best interests and well-being of the children during a divorce.

According to the Manhattan child custody lawyer, "Acting in the best interests of your child is the standard New York Family Courts use to make custody determinations. This can be put to the test during interpersonal relations with an ex-partner, especially when the relationship with your ex ended on bad terms. Foremost in your mind should be the thought that you and your ex-partner's relationship dynamic will shape the way your child will view relationship dynamics in their own lives."

The lawyer explains that ex-partners who are friendly with each other can help the children see that there is still hope for working together even if their parents have separated. This is how co-parenting and joint legal custody works.

Ryan Besinque explains that child custody includes two components: Physical Custody and Legal Custody. Joint custody falls under the Legal Custody Component. It is sometimes called Joint Legal Custody. According to the lawyer, the term Physical Custody describes the location where the children will spend the majority of their lives.

Legal Custody refers to the parent who will make the major decisions about the child’s future, according to the divorce lawyer. Major decisions fall under Legal Custody, while minor details such as the clothing and appearance of the child fall under Physical Custody.

In the article, the attorney explains that Joint Legal Custody means that the parents of the children will make the decisions together. If the parents are unable to come to an agreement and solve their differences, the courts will be required to resolve the matter.

Lastly, attorney Besinque emphasizes the importance of having a skilled divorce attorney who may be able to help clients understand their rights and responsibilities in the custody of their children. An experienced attorney may also be able to help the client get a favorable outcome in the divorce case.
