A 6212 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Excludes certain judgments, orders or decrees issued in a matrimonial action from a stay of enforcement without a court order

This bill modifies New York's civil procedure rules to prevent automatic stays on child support, spousal support, or maintenance orders from being enforced without a court order. It directly affects individuals involved in divorce or separation cases where support payments are ordered. The key change ensures that judgments, orders, or decrees related to these support types cannot be paused simply because a broader case is stayed - requiring a separate court approval instead. This applies to all ongoing or future matrimonial actions, with limited exceptions for cases already stayed before the law took effect. The bill focuses on ensuring support obligations remain enforceable unless a court specifically orders otherwise.
