New York State Court Officer Academy Exam 2 Practice

In the Uniform Rules for the Family Court, the letter prefixes on case types identify the subject matter of the docket. The “P” prefix designates Paternity, i.e., parentage proceedings to establish the father-child relationship and address related issues such as child support, custody, and visitation. The other options refer to different areas ( Parenting Plan isn’t a docket type, Probate is handled in Surrogate’s Court, Personal Injury is a civil tort). So the term represented by the prefix is Paternity.
