Zacarese & Zalewski P.C.
Can grandparents step in for temporary custody if parents are struggling in early spring?
Call now: 516-660-4354
Grandparents in Suffolk County can seek custody, but they must first show standing—usually extraordinary circumstances or parental unfitness. The court then decides based on the child’s best interests. Temporary arrangements are possible, but they are not automatic. Spring crises—treatment issues, housing instability, school concerns—often trigger these filings. The burden is serious and fact-specific. Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
