Queens CPS Cases

What Parents Need to Know

If you are facing an investigation or false allegations from New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) in Manhattan, you need to act fast. ACS has broad powers, and once a case is opened a CPS worker may attempt to remove your children, schedule mandatory interviews, or file charges in Family Court. Knowing where ACS operates in Queens, how their CPS agents work, and where your court hearings will be held is critical.

Queens ACS Office Locations

Where Investigations Begin

Most Queens ACS cases are handled by the Borough Office located at:

151-20 Jamaica Avenue, Jamaica, NY 11432
Phone: (718) 657-6500

This is the primary office for ACS investigations in Queens. It’s where many parents are first contacted or asked to attend meetings. If a CPS agent from ACS has opened a case against you, this is likely where your assigned caseworker operates from.

Another ACS location is:

165-08 88th Avenue, Jamaica, NY 11432

This site houses Family Preservation services, preventive support programs, and additional community outreach teams that often work alongside CPS investigators.

Family Court Location and Hours

If ACS files a petition against you, your case will be scheduled at:

Queens Family Court
151-20 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11432
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Court Information Line: (718) 298-0197

This court handles all Queens ACS cases involving abuse, neglect, custody, emergency removals, and parental rights. If you are ordered to appear in court, you must comply or risk losing custody of your children.

How ACS Investigates Parents in Queens

Once ACS receives a report about you, even a false one, they may:

• Show up at your home without prior notice
• Speak to your children at school
• Ask misleading or confusing questions
• Document statements that you didn’t say
• File a court petition to remove or monitor your children

These are common tactics in Queens ACS cases. Many investigations start out informally but quickly escalate once ACS decides to take action.

Do Not Talk to CPS workers from ACS Without a Lawyer

CPS workers from ACS will twist your words, omit context, or misrepresent facts to support a case against you. Even a casual conversation can be turned into damaging evidence. Many parents mistakenly think they can “clear things up” by cooperating but they only strengthen the case against themselves.

Your best defense is simple: do not speak to ACS without a lawyer present. An experienced attorney will ensure that your rights are protected and that no statement is taken out of context or used against you in Family Court.
