Brief explanation of Court of Protection HMCS website
ALBANY (AP) -- The state’s top court ruled yesterday that the estate of a woman killed by her husband in 1985, immediately after trying to have an order of protection against him enforced, could sue Suffolk County for $10 million.
The Court of Appeals said a protection order had been issued on June 12, 1985, directing Anthony Swiggett to stay away from his wife and her children and not to enter her home.
Court documents said that on separate occasions, Swiggett had punched his wife in the face, hit her with a claw hammer and beaten her and a daugh- ter with a baseball bat.
In Family Court, the judge can order the respondent to pay temporary support and to give you legal custody of any children you may have with the respondent.
If you are a petitioner in Family Court, your case will probably be thrown out and any temporary order of protection you had will be gone on that day.
If you are a respondent in Family Court, the case can be done without you there (provided the petitioner gave you notice of the case) and an order of protection can be issued.
