Co-Parenting and Orders of Protection in New York

Orders of protection can significantly affect custody arrangements and co-parenting relationships.

When criminal charges overlap with family court issues, situations often become emotionally and legally complicated very quickly.

Temporary orders may affect:

Child exchanges

Communication between parents

Visitation schedules

Living arrangements

Even indirect contact through family members or social media can potentially create additional legal issues.

Parents dealing with both criminal and family court proceedings should understand that statements made in one court may potentially affect the other.
