Zacarese & Zalewski P.C.
What happens at a fact-finding hearing in a neglect case in NY?
Call now: 516-660-4354
In a neglect case, the fact-finding hearing is where Suffolk County Family Court decides if neglect actually occurred. CPS presents evidence, witnesses testify, and the judge evaluates credibility—not assumptions. If neglect is proven, the case moves to the next stage; if not, it can be dismissed. This is often the turning point in the entire case.
