A 4635 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to issuing temporary spousal support

This bill allows family courts to issue temporary spousal support at the same time as issuing a temporary order of protection or a temporary child support order, without requiring proof of immediate emergency need. It directly affects individuals involved in family court cases seeking protection or child support who also need financial assistance. Courts can now set temporary spousal support amounts based on need, even if income details of the other party are unavailable, and must inform petitioners about child support enforcement services. The change streamlines support decisions during initial court proceedings without altering existing formulas for calculating support.
