Legal Answers
6 Questions Answered
- Q. What can I do if the judge made an order during a conference with no motion before him?
- A: A Judge has the ability to calendar a case whenever the Judge finds good cause to do so, but it has to be on notice. If the orders include custody decisions and or visitation issues without a hearing, you most likely have an appealable issue. you must file an emergency motion with the Appellate division for a stay of the orders, but sometimes, the order would have been carried out by the time you get to the Appellate division.
- Q. Is Motion To Dismiss One Way To Beat Temporary Protection Order? Or Is Onus On Petitioner To Prove Respondent's Guilt?
- A: You should absolutely look into whether there are basis for a dismissal. Ultimately the Petitioner has the burden of proof, but it is somewhat a low burden (preponderance of the evidence). Consult a lawyer because Art. 8 of the Family Court has strict requirements as to Petitions for O.P. and you might be able to dismiss it before the Petitioner even has to make his or her case. Criminal Ops are a different discussion.
- Q. does NY Family Court consider it a conflict of interest if a child's therapist saw a parent 10 years earlier
- A: I would say yes. it is a conflict, and I would make a motion to disqualify the therapist. of course, the judge has the last say, but I feel strongly enough about this that I would appeal it.
