Petitions can be emailed to NYFCSupport@nycourts.gov or sent by U.S. mail addressed to the appropriate county Family Court, or by calling 212-343-1122 (LIFT), 646-877-6050 (OCSS), or 646-386-5299 (Family Court) for assistance.  

Your petition date will be recorded by the court, although they are not yet scheduling actual hearing dates.  The petition date is an important date for securing your relief.  So, although you may not see a Support Magistrate right away, your claim for modification, when heard, will go back to the date of filing the petition.
