§ 580-104 Remedies cumulative

This rule says that the legal options in this article are not the only ones available. If you're trying to set up or enforce a child or spousal support order, you can still use other laws or legal methods that apply in New York. This article adds to your options, it doesn't limit them.

The rule also makes clear that New York courts can still recognize support orders from other states or countries based on general legal cooperation between places, even if this specific article doesn't cover that situation.

Finally, this article does not give New York courts power to make decisions about child custody or visitation. It only deals with support issues, like child support or spousal support. If custody or visitation is part of your case, you'll need to rely on other rules to handle that part.
