New York Family Lawyer
Having a New York Family Lawyer that knows the Court system and has the knowledge and experience to help get you through this difficult time is very important, that is why we are here to help you. Each New York Family Lawyer from our offices has taken some time to create the following Family Law and New York Family Court system overview to help you understand the facts. For your convenience, we have outlined the different types of cases the New York Court deals with, the people who oversee the Court and the location of the Family Courthouse.
Family Law refers to any issue that may develop between family members, for whatever reason. Any New York Family Lawyer will tell you that cases involving Child Custody and Visitation, Paternity, Spousal and Child Support (including termination of child support through emancipation), Establishing Paternity, Orders of Protection, Abuse and Neglect and juvenile criminal issues are all dealt with in the New York Family Court. The only family issue the New York Family Court does not cover is Divorce. To receive a Divorce in New York, your case will need to be dealt with in the Supreme Court.
The New York Family Court is located at 60 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10013. The phone number for the New York Family Court is 1-212-374-3700.
There are a couple of different types of professionals that may preside over your Family Law case in New York such as Judges, Support Magistrates, Referees and sometimes Judicial Hearing Officers (JHO's). A Judge can also be a New York Family Lawyer, so can the Support Magistrates and Court Attorney, Referees and Judicial Hearing Officers (JHO's).
A Court Lawyer will sometimes meet with you and the other individuals involved with the case to discuss a resolution before going to court. A court lawyer is often just a New York Family Lawyer that will work to try to resolve the case before it goes to court. With a custody case, for example, a Court Lawyer may speak with the respondent Family Lawyer and the petitioner Family Lawyer in an effort to mediate a settlement and avoid a trial altogether. In Custody cases there can also be a Law Guardian sitting in on the meeting.
The Support Magistrate will hear child support cases and Judges, Referees and Judicial Hearing Officers (JHO's) will hear Custody and Visitation cases. Judges hear Orders of Protection, Abuse and Neglect cases and any other case that can involve the charged individual being incarcerated.
