Family Court isn’t the same as Supreme Court (where divorces are filed). Instead, it focuses on day-to-day family matters, including:
- Custody and visitation (parenting time): Who makes major decisions for a child and how time is shared.
- Child support: How much one parent contributes to a child’s expenses.
- Paternity/parentage: Establishing a legal parent, often with genetic testing.
- Family offenses/orders of protection: Safety-first cases involving harassment, threats, or violence between family members or people in intimate relationships.
- Neglect/abuse cases (ACS involved): When the city alleges a child isn’t safe; these are high-stakes and move quickly.
- Juvenile delinquency: Cases where a young person is accused of breaking the law.
- Foster care and adoption: Permanency planning, visitation, and finalizations.
