Yes, grandparents can file for custody in New York, including in Suffolk County Family Court—but it’s not automatic. First, they must show a real relationship with the child or extraordinary circumstances. Then the court looks at what’s best for the child. These cases are emotional and complex, and the law doesn’t treat them lightly.
