I filed Form GF-40 in Suffolk County Family Court to change custody of my son who turns 18 in another month. He will be attending college near me in the fall and wishes to live with me. Yesterday I received a notice that my petition was rejected because "As of his eighteenth birthday on (date), the subject child is no longer under the jurisdiction of Family Court with regard to custody and visitation."
What is my next move? I pay child support through the NY State Child Support system so this would have to be adjusted through the courts. Can I do this without an attorney? Do I need to hire one? Thank you.
