The New York 10 18 form, officially titled "Order on Motion for Approval of Relative as Foster Parent," is a crucial document in the context of child welfare and family law. It is utilized within the Family Court system to facilitate the placement of a child under the age of 18 with a relative who seeks to become a certified foster parent. This form is initiated by a motion filed by the relative, requesting the court to direct the local social services commissioner to conduct a prompt investigation of the relative’s home. The investigation must commence within 24 hours, ensuring a swift response to the child's needs. The form outlines the necessary legal proceedings, including the appearance of various parties such as the petitioner, the relative/movant, and potentially the child’s attorney. The court evaluates the motion based on the best interests of the child, determining whether to grant or deny the request for approval. If granted, the relative may begin the process of certification as a foster parent, although no placement can occur until the relative is officially approved. The form also includes essential information regarding appeal rights, emphasizing the importance of timely action should any party wish to contest the court's decision.
