Family Court Clinic

Due to overwhelming community needs at this time, we are no longer able to accept new case intakes online or via telephone. If you would like assistance with a petition for custody, visitation, paternity, or child support, please attend the next Family Court Clinic that is scheduled. Petitions can include original petitions, modifications, and violation petitions.

Before you come to the Family Court Clinic, make sure that you bring:

  • Name and address of the opposing party (usually the other parent)
  • Name and addresses of the children in question
  • COPIES OF ALL PREVIOUS COURT ORDERS RELATED TO CUSTODY AND CHILD SUPPORT

The Family Court Clinic will take place on:
Wednesdays
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. & 1:00 p.m. -  4:00 p.m. 
Onondaga County Family Court
401 Montgomery Street, Room 116
Syracuse, NY 13202
