The Richmond County Family Court building is a small courthouse in the St. George neighborhood of the borough of Staten Island in New York City. (Richmond County is coextensive with Staten Island.) It houses Family Court for the county. The building overlooks New York Harbor at 100 Richmond Terrace, just west of other municipal buildings in the St. George civic center, including Borough Hall, the fourth Richmond County Courthouse and the local police precinct building. The neoclassical building with a terracotta exterior was built in 1931 by Sibley and Featherston as the Staten Island Children's Court. The same firm built Staten Island's Civil Court and Criminal Court buildings during the same period.Adjoining the court building are two annexes. Some functions associated with the court are also conducted in other nearby buildings. As of 2014 there are three Family Court Judges on Staten Island, one of whom works in one of the annexes. There is a Legal Aid Society office in the basement.Accessibility for persons with disabilities is via a ramp at the rear entrance.

St. George is a neighborhood on the northeastern tip of Staten Island in New York City, along the waterfront where the Kill Van Kull enters Upper New York Bay. It is the most densely developed neighborhood on Staten Island, and the location of the administrative center for the borough and for the coterminous Richmond County. The St. George Terminal, serving the Staten Island Ferry and the Staten Island Railway, is also located here. St. George is bordered on the south by the neighborhood of Tompkinsville and on the west by the neighborhood of New Brighton. What is now St. George was initially occupied by the Lenape Native Americans, then colonized by the Dutch and the British. The first residential developments arose in the 1830s, and through the late 19th century, the area was a summer resort. Until the construction of the ferry–railroad terminal in 1886, present-day St. George was considered to be part of New Brighton. The section around the current ferry and railroad terminal was renamed after developer George Law, whom Erastus Wiman promised to "canonize" in exchange for relinquishing the land rights for the terminal. Several government buildings and landmarks were constructed in St. George in the early 20th century, and further developments on the waterfront commenced in the early 21st century.St. George is part of Staten Island Community District 1. St. George is patrolled by the 120th Precinct of the New York City Police Department.
