How do I obtain a “free” court appointed attorney (legal aid, “18b”)?
Your may request a court appointed attorney when you appear before the court; however, not everyone will qualify. 10) How do I object to (or appeal) an order? Either party to an action may “object” to an order issued by a support magistrate. An objection may be filed in letter form, on notice to the opposing party. Instructions and sample forms are available in the General Clerks Office. An appeal may be taken as a matter of right only from an order issued by a judge. (Please note that an appeal may not be taken from an order issued after inquest.) Appeal instructions/forms are available from the General Clerks Office. 11) What must I do to have my case reassigned to another judge or support magistrate? An application must be made to the presently assigned judge or support magistrate to”recuse” himself (or herself) from the matter. If the application is not granted, for judicial orders a party may file an application with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court – Second Department
