For couples seeking a divorce or families dealing with a family law issue, the difference between Family Court and Supreme Court in New York State may not always seem clear. Cases often involve both of these courts, and they share jurisdiction, or authority, over multiple domestic issues. Yet there are important differences between each of these courts.

Supreme Court is the lowest level trial court of general jurisdiction, meaning there are two levels of courts above it and that it can hear almost any kind of case. Supreme Court procedures are governed by the Civil Practice Law and Rules. These complex procedural rules make having an attorney almost a necessity for cases in Supreme Court. There are 62 Supreme Courts in New York State, one in each county.

Family Court, on the other hand, is designed to allow people to represent themselves. There are standard forms for all pleadings that a person who wants to commence a proceeding can fill out. Then a court clerk prepares the required papers and a judge is automatically assigned to each case.

New York’s Family Court was created by the state legislature by a statute, the Family Court Act. Thus, its authority to hear cases can be changed by legislation that amends this act. Its jurisdiction is divided into several articles, each specifying a different type of case that Family Court has the authority to hear, including:

Article 3: Juvenile Delinquency Cases

Article 4: Support Cases- For both child and spousal support, Family Court can make initial awards and enforce or alter existing orders. However, Family Court cannot enforce separation agreements.

Article 5: Paternity- Family Court can hear paternity cases and issue paternity orders.

Article 6: Custody and Visitation- Family Court can make child custody and visitation awards and change existing orders unless a previous order limits that case to Supreme Court’s jurisdiction. Family Court also has authority over termination of parental rights, and over guardianship and adoptions cases, which are also shared with the Surrogate’s Court.

Article 7: Person’s in Need of Supervision (PINS) Cases

Article 8: Family Offense Proceedings (Orders of Protection)- Family Court can hear proceedings for and grant orders of protection.

Article 9: Conciliation Proceedings- The court can help married couples reconcile difficulties.

Article 10: Child Protective Proceedings- An authorized agency can commence a proceeding to remove abused or neglected children and put them in foster care against the wishes of their parents.

Interestingly, in New York State Family Court does not hear divorce cases, so divorce proceedings are handled by Supreme Court. Other differences between Family Court and Supreme Court include differences in how they deal with evidence and in what terminology they use. In Supreme Court, regular evidence rules apply, whereas in Family Court, there are statutory exceptions to the normal rules of evidence. In addition, Supreme Court Cases are called actions, and the parties to the action include the plaintiff and the defendant. In Family Court, a case is referred to as a proceeding and the parties are called the petitioner and the respondent.
