Criteria for Suspension of Judgment in Neglect Proceeding

In reversing Family Court, the Second Department explained the criteria for a suspension of judgment in a permanent neglect proceeding:

A dispositional order suspending judgment is a dispositional alternative, upon a finding of permanent neglect, that affords “a brief grace period designed to prepare the parent to be reunited with the child” … . In essence, an order suspending judgment provides the parent with a second chance, but it may be utilized only when the court determines that a second chance is in the child’s best interests (see Family Ct Act §§ 631, 633…). Moreover, the maximum duration of a suspended judgment is one year, unless the court finds at the conclusion of that period that “exceptional circumstances” require an extension of that period for one additional period of up to one year (Family Ct Act § 633[b]…). * * *

Family Court Act § 633© provides that an order suspending judgment “must set forth the . . . terms and conditions of the suspended judgment” (see also 22 NYCRR 205.50[b]) so that the Family Court may determine whether the parent has violated it … . Matter of Jesse D…, 2013 NY slip Op 06001, 2nd Dept 9-25-13
