Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 04710

Holding The Appellate Division affirmed the Family Court’s orders of protection, noting that the respondent failed to preserve his contention regarding the court’s authority by opposing the motion solely on the ground of prematurity. The court declined to address the unpreserved issue in the interest of justice but confirmed the respondent was an appropriate party for the orders.

The court’s words
