Can CPS take my child without a court order in New York?
Call now: 516-660-4354
Yes, but only in true emergencies. In Suffolk County, CPS can remove a child without a court order if they believe the child is in immediate danger. After that, they must quickly go before a judge in Family Court to justify it. It feels fast and unfair, but the law requires them to prove their actions right away.
Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
