In New York State, how long does a judge have legally to render his ruling on a case?

Question

Are my civil rights being denied?

I've been waiting for well over 60 days.

It's for child support arrears.

Answer 1

Usually a judge must render a decision within a few weeks -- unless there are complex legal issues, or motions that delay the proceedings.

The specific periods would be set forth in the local rules of court for the county you're in.

And no, a delay in rendering a decision is not usually considered a civil rights violation, and even if it was, you could not sue the judge for it.
