Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the family court act, in relation to the scheduling of a fact finding hearing after the issuance of a temporary order of protection in family court
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Family Court Act to require that when a temporary order of protection is issued, a fact-finding hearing must be scheduled within 14 days of the order's issuance. If the court fails to schedule this initial hearing within that 14-day timeframe, the temporary order of protection will automatically expire and no longer be valid. A temporary order of protection is a legal document issued by a court to protect an individual from potential harm or harassment, typically in cases involving domestic violence or family disputes. By mandating a quick fact-finding hearing, the bill aims to ensure that such protective orders are promptly reviewed and either confirmed, modified, or dismissed, providing timely due process for both the protected party and the respondent while maintaining the immediate safety of the protected individual.
