N.Y. Family Court Act § 521: Venue

§ 521. Venue. Proceedings to establish paternity may be originated in

the county where the mother or child resides or is found or in the

county where the putative father resides or is found. The fact that the

child was born outside of the state of New York does not bar a

proceeding to establish paternity in the county where the putative

father resides or is found or in the county where the mother resides or

the child is found.
