Can CPS remove a child without a court order in New York?
Call now: 516-660-4354
Yes—but only in emergencies. In Suffolk County, CPS can remove a child without a court order if they believe there’s immediate danger. That’s usually followed by a quick court appearance where a judge reviews the removal. It feels sudden and overwhelming, but there are legal standards they must meet. What you do next matters more than what just happened.
Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
