New York Family Court Confidentiality:
Sealed court records from Angie Wong v. [name redacted] (ORI No.: NY030023) fall under the jurisdiction of the New York Family Court. Under the New York Family Court Act (FCA) §§ 446, 551, 656, 842, 1056, such records—including filings, orders, and testimony—are confidential unless a court order specifically unseals them. This confidentiality extends to:
-
Transcripts, filings, and orders;
-
Testimony about the contents of sealed records, even if provided in another state;
-
Emails or communications that disclose or summarize sealed records;
-
Social media or other online references and/or links to sealed records.
An email from nyfcrecords@nycourts.gov confirms that all New York County Family Court records are considered confidential unless officially unsealed.
Observations from Miami Proceedings:
The Miami trial transcripts include references to New York records that were under seal at the time. The presiding judge in Miami did not have authority to unseal New York Family Court records or to authorize their use outside the jurisdiction of New York. Accordingly, the transcripts include material that remains confidential under New York law.
These details highlight the complexity of handling sealed records across multiple jurisdictions and the importance of adhering to applicable rules regarding confidentiality in court proceedings.
