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.
Although both parents are entitled to an attorney for a child support petition in Family Court, they are not entitled to have one assigned if they cannot afford one (unless the parent is accused of violating an existing order).

Once your petition is completed and your signature notarized, you can either mail it to Family Court or submit it in person during our stated business hours. Paternity Petitions must be submitted with a copy of the Birth Certificate.
