A custodial parent may file a petition with their local child support agency. That petition will then be forwarded to the New York City Law Department office in the county where the non-custodial parent resides. This matter will then be litigated in the New York City Family Court located in the same borough.
Learn how to file a “motion” (a written request for some type of relief) to get your case – or part of your case - in front of the judge for a decision. You can use motions to try to resolve the case completely. Or you can use them to resolve some specific issue before trial.
If the opposing party does not answer, then you have to file a motion to compel the opposing party to respond. The party must answer your request if the court orders them to. If the party still does not answer, they can be held in contempt of court and/or a default judgment can be issued in your favor.
A motion to enforce is about getting the court to ensure that an existing order is followed. In contrast, a motion for contempt is about holding someone accountable for not following a court order and can result in penalties like fines or even jail time.
The consequences of the motion: A motion to enforce, if approved, inflicts no punishment on the non-compliant party and instead serves as a reminder to fulfill their legal duties. Alternatively, a motion for contempt can result in jail time or fines for not following a verdict.
Motion to Modify By filing this motion, you are asking the court to change something in your final order. You must be able to show that there has been a "substantial change in circumstances" since the last court order. You can't file a Motion to Modify just because you don't agree with the order.
When you file your motion, the court clerk will insert the date, time, and place of the hearing on your motion. You must then “serve” (mail) a copy of your filed motion (including all exhibits and the date, time, and place of hearing) to all other parties in the case.
You don't need an attorney to file a Motion for Contempt, but it is a good idea to have one. If you decide to represent yourself, you can go to the courthouse that made the order and ask for help at the Court Service Center.
