Can grandparents seek custody at the beginning of the year if circumstances have changed?
Call now: 516-660-4354
Yes, but it’s not automatic. Grandparents must show extraordinary circumstances—such as parental unfitness or disruption—and that custody serves the child’s best interests. In Suffolk County Family Court, timing matters less than proof. January filings are common when conditions worsened over the holidays.
Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
