Opinion
June 16, 1992
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Jeffrey Gallet, J.).
In light of the limited jurisdiction of the Family Court (see, Matter of Borkowski v. Borkowski, 38 A.D.2d 752), and the unambiguous definition of "child" for purposes of foster care review proceedings (see, Social Services Law § 392), the Family Court does not retain jurisdiction of the foster care review proceeding once the child in question reaches the age of eighteen years. We also note, as did the Family Court, that children between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one years are not without remedies if they are entitled to foster care funding (see, e.g., Social Services Law §§ 398-a, 22).
