IN THIS NEGLECT PROCEEDING AGAINST STEPMOTHER, THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF ORDERS OF PROTECTION IN FAVOR OF THE CHILDREN WERE NOT MET (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, vacating the five-year orders of protection in favor of the children (re: respondent stepmother) in this neglect proceeding, determined the statutory criteria for issuance of the orders of protection were not met:

… [T]he stepmother contends that the court erred in issuing orders of protection in favor of the children with a duration of five years. We agree, and we therefore reverse the orders of protection … . In an article 10 proceeding, the court may issue an order of protection, but such order shall expire no later than the expiration date of “such other order made under this part, except as provided in subdivision four of this section” (Family Ct Act § 1056 [1]). Subdivision (4) of section 1056 allows a court to issue an independent order of protection until a child’s 18th birthday, but only against a person “who was a member of the child’s household or a person legally responsible . . . , and who is no longer a member of such household at the time of the disposition and who is not related by blood or marriage to the child or a member of the child’s household.” Here, the orders of protection do not comply with Family Court Act § 1056 (1) and (4) because no other dispositional orders were issued with respect to the children at the time the court issued the orders of protection and the stepmother, although no longer living in the home, remains married to the children’s mother … . Moreover, the court erred in issuing the dispositional orders of protection without first holding a dispositional hearing. “The Family Court Act directs that a dispositional hearing be held as a condition precedent to the entry of a dispositional order such as the order of protection granted by Family Court here” … . Matter of Kayla K. (Emma P.-T.), 2022 NY Slip Op 02668, Fourth Dept 4-22-22
