Local Case Patterns in Meatpacking District

Common Case Profile

Meatpacking custody cases are modest in volume given the small residential population — cases that occur commonly involve creative-industry or hospitality-industry families in the area's limited condo stock. Documentation frequently covers the Hudson River Park southern access, the handful of family-friendly venues in the area, and the school-route coverage that extends into adjacent West Village and Chelsea where schools are located.

Meatpacking District Investigation Logistics

Meatpacking custody investigations work the area's tiny footprint where stationary observation is quickly visible. Investigators typically anchor at Hudson River Park access points and the 14th Street transit anchors, and coordinate coverage that extends into adjacent West Village or Chelsea where family routines commonly extend.

Court Venue

All Manhattan custody matters are heard at New York County Family Court at 60 Lafayette Street.
