If you want to modify an order of custody here in New York one of the factors you must prove to the Court is that the custodial parent is unfit to continue to have custody of the child or children. What is an unfit parent here in NY? An unfit parent has been defined by our courts and it can mean a number of different things including, but not limited to, a parent that struggles with drug or alcohol abuse/addiction or some form of substance abuse and is not getting clean/sobe...r or is not attempting to get help to become clean/sober making him or her unable to care for the child or children; a parent that has been found to have physically, mentally or sexually abused the child and/or children; a parent that has an extensive criminal record or is incarcerated; a parent that engages in custodial interference and/or parental alienation impeding the relationship between the noncustodial parent and the child/children; a parent that is deemed to be completely unreliable as to the care of the child, which can be the day to day care of the child or children, or it can be when a parent is unable to provide for the medical/dental/psychological care and/or treatment for the child and/or children........and a number of other factors. If you believe any of these factors apply to your case or your child or children you may have the ability to file a petition seeking to modify your custody order here in New York.
