S 9409 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to adjournments in contemplation of dismissal and suspended judgments in child protective proceedings in the family court

This bill modifies how family courts handle adjournments in contemplation of dismissal and suspended judgments within child protective proceedings. It clarifies the rules for granting these temporary pauses, which allow a case to be set aside with the possibility of dismissal if specific conditions are met during a set period. The legislation outlines who can request these adjournments, establishes requirements for supervising the respondent and child, and defines the procedures for extending the timeline or revoking the pause if terms are violated. By updating the Family Court Act, the bill aims to provide clearer guidelines for judges, attorneys, and child protective agencies involved in these cases.
