New York Child Abuse & Neglect Lawyer

Protecting Fathers in Neglect Proceedings

Neglect proceedings can be brought by Child Protective Services (CPS) on Long Island and in the City of New York by the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS). These proceedings can also be brought by law guardians who have been appointed to represent children. The facts and circumstances involving the incidents that are the basis of neglect proceedings can be either simple or complex.

There are various types of neglect. There is medical neglect, educational neglect, and neglect in one’s parental responsibility for seeing to it that the health and safety of minor children are protected. Cases involving individuals charged with driving without a driver’s license or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can become the basis of neglect proceedings. Child neglect proceedings are handled in the Family Court in the State of New York.
