Q: her attorney filed a petition to modify an existing order. this was filed with an order to show cause. can i respond with a letter in opposition or is there a special form to use for NYS family courts?
A: David's Answer: If you were summoned to appear in court, then you either need to personally appear or file a request to appear by phone (the form for the latter is on the court's website). You should also file an Answer to the Visitation Petition - but there's no official form for same. At the least, you should schedule a consultation with a Rockland/Westchester Family Law attorney for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
