WHEN CHILD TURNED 21 WHILE GUARDIANSHIP AND SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS PROCEEDINGS WERE PENDING, FAMILY COURT LOST JURISDICTION.

The Second Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Sgroi, determined Family Court no longer had jurisdiction over a petition seeking guardianship and special findings to seek special immigrant juvenile status (SIJS) because the child turned 21 during the pendency of the proceedings:

… [O]nce the subject child turned 21 years old, the Family Court no longer possessed authority to determine the guardianship petition. Furthermore, since dependency upon a juvenile court is a prerequisite for the issuance of an order making the declaration and specific findings to enable a child to petition for SIJS, the Family Court also properly denied the petitioner’s SIJS motion. Matter of Maria C.R. v Rafael G., 2016 NY Slip Op 05503, 7-13-16
