Fact-finding Hearing
A trial in Family Court is called a fact-finding hearing and takes place before a judge. There are no jury trials in Family Court. At this hearing, the judge will decide if the charges in the petition have been proved. The person or agency filing the case must present enough evidence to prove the facts in the petition. If the charges are brought against you, you will have an opportunity to respond. If the facts are not proved, then the case will be dismissed. This means that the case is finished. Sometimes the case is withdrawn, which means that the person or agency who wanted the case heard in Family Court decides not to continue.
LAW OFFICE JA CAMBECE: In emergency cases, however, in which you need a temporary order of protection to prevent family violence, you have a right to file a petition on the same day you appear in court and to have a hearing on your request on the same day or the next day that the court is open.
Bailee is the person who receives property through a contract of bailment, from the bailor, and who may be committed to certain duties of care towards the property while it remains in his or her possession.
If a person ordered to pay support fails to obey the court order, a violation petition may be filed by the person who is supposed to receive the support or by the Support Collection Unit of the social services agency or the Administration for Children's Services in New York City. In such cases, the respondent has the right to a hearing. If the judge finds that the respondent willfully violated the court order, the judge may sentence the respondent to a maximum sentence of six (6) months in jail. A person who fails to pay child support may also be subject to the suspension of his or her state issued license. The license suspension option applies to drivers, professional, occupational, business, recreational or sporting licenses. In addition, the State Department of Temporary and Disability Assistance can take a lien on personal property (i.e. car). Individuals found to be in violation may also be charged with criminal penalties for non-support.
