Can I file an emergency custody petition during the holidays in Suffolk County Family Court?
Call now: 516-660-4354
Yes. If a child is at immediate risk—substance abuse, unsafe supervision, sudden refusal to return the child—you can file an emergency application (an Order to Show Cause) even during holiday weeks. Suffolk County Family Court regularly hears urgent matters because kids can’t wait for the calendar to settle down. The key is showing real, immediate harm, not just inconvenience.
Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
