Matrimonial Hearings     

On February 17, 2005, Coalition President Monica Getz, Advisory Board Chair Robin Yeamans, Esq. and Advisory Board Founder Susan Titus Glascoff spoke at the White Plains public hearing on problems in matrimonial litigation in New York State.    

Chief New York State Judge Judith S. Kaye appointed the Matrimonial Commission to review all aspects of matrimonial litigation and make recommendations for improving how the courts handle such litigation in both Family Court and Supreme Court. 

 

Part of this process is public hearings to  receive the views of interested individuals and organizations with regard to ways to reduce “cost, delay and trauma to the parties,” with particular focus on custody and visitation, law guardians, mediation and collaborative divorce.  Hearings schedule and transcripts can be accessed at www.courts.state.ny.us/ip/matrimonial-commission .
