A final custody order in New York is a court-issued ruling that determines the custody of a child, usually until the child turns 18 or is emancipated. It outlines the specific details of both legal and physical custody, often in the form of a parenting plan, and replaces any temporary orders. Final orders can be reached through a judge's decision based on evidence or by the parents drawing up a parenting plan together, which a judge then approves.
