How does New York Family Court view relapse or ongoing treatment in a custody case?
Call now: 516-660-4354
Relapse does not automatically mean you lose custody in Suffolk County Family Court. Judges understand that recovery is not always linear. What matters is honesty, compliance with treatment, and whether the child is safe. Ongoing counseling, testing, and documented progress show responsibility. Denial and minimization hurt far more than relapse itself. This is law about life, not perfection. Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
