N.Y. Family Court Act § 925: Continuation of proceeding

§ 925. Continuation of proceeding. If the petitioner's spouse attends

a conference to which he or she has been invited under section nine

hundred twenty-two or has been directed to attend under section nine

hundred twenty-four and thereafter does not attend any conciliation

conference, the court, on due notice to both spouses, may hold a hearing

to determine whether the proceeding should be continued. If it concludes

that conciliation under the auspices of the family court is not

feasible, it may refer the parties to interested voluntary social or

religious agencies in the community and shall terminate the proceeding

under this article. If it concludes that further efforts at conciliation

under this article should be undertaken, it may direct the spouses to

attend another conciliation conference.
