What Is An Order Of Protection?

An Order of Protection is a legal tool designed to protect individuals from harassment, abuse, or threats of harm. These orders frequently arise in family or domestic situations where there are concerns for safety, or when one parent wants the other to be perceived as a threat, justly or unjustly. In Staten Island, they are issued by the Richmond County Family Court or by various criminal courts.

Before You Act: Understand New York’s Child Relocation Laws – In New York, family courts make relocation decisions by focusing on the child’s best interests rather than rigid rules, like mileage limits. This means that even a move just a short distance outside The Bronx can require court approval if it significantly affects your relationship with their child.

If your custody arrangement includes visitation rights, your co-parent cannot legally move without your consent or a court order.
