Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Child Custody

Then everyone is wrong. You need to speak to an experienced matrimonial attorney.

Generally, the court will grant a modification of custody, in the best interests of the children, where there has been a substantial change in circumstances or where the chidren are being neglected or abused in the present custodial arrangement.

Re: Child Custody

Not true - men can and do obtain custody all the time. The courts will use the "best interest of the child" test. If he believes that there are reasons to fight for custody - he would be best served by filing for change of custody and ask that a law guardian be appointed. A law guardian is appointed by the court to represent the interest of the child and will often give valuable tesimony to the court on such matters.
