Season 1
Episode 63
Published 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
New York has no presumption of shared parenting.
When parents separate, a judge decides how much time each parent gets—and that often means one parent becomes primary while the other becomes a visitor. Andre Rainey, Chair of the National Parents Organization’s New York chapter, is pushing to change that.
In this episode:
- What really happens in Westchester family court
- Why shared parenting legislation has failed for years
- What’s different now
- What parents can do today
