Court-Ordered Classes in New York

Courts in New York order classes across 3 categories we've published guides for. Below is every New York requirement we've verified against official sources, each linking to the full guide with the program name, length, format rules and the official provider list.

Court-ordered anger management in New York

Program: Court-ordered anger management (New York has no single statewide program name for it); in domestic-violence cases courts instead order an Abusive Partner Intervention Program (APIP) / batterer intervention program (BIP)

Length: Generic anger-management orders commonly run roughly 8 to 52 hours or sessions (often 8, 12, 16, or 26), with the exact length set by the judge. Domestic-violence abusive-partner / batterer programs are much longer — commonly about 26 weeks (New York City's APIP offers 16- or 26-week tracks). · Format: Varies by court

Ordered to something that isn't listed here? This page lists only the New York requirements we have verified against official state, court or agency sources — it is not a complete list of everything a New York judge can order. If your order names a class we haven't covered, the court or agency named on your paperwork is the authority on it.

Independent directory: NextStep Counseling is an independent information site. We are not a court, a government agency, or a class provider, and no court endorses this site or any provider listed on it. Requirements change and vary by case, county and judge — always confirm the exact class, format, hours and an accepted provider with the court that ordered you before you enroll or pay.
