New York S04806 amends the family court act to require summonses for both custodial and non-custodial parents in juvenile delinquency cases.

New York S04806 amends the family court act by adding a new provision that mandates the court to issue summonses to each parent, including non-custodial parents, of any juvenile who is the subject of a juvenile delinquency petition. The office of probation and correctional alternatives or the presentment agency will ask the custodial parent or person legally responsible for information regarding any other parents of the respondent. The summons will inform parents of their right to appear and participate in the proceeding and to seek temporary release or direct placement of the respondent.
