Sufficient Grounds for Custody Hearing Raised​

The Second Department determined Supreme Court erred when it denied plaintiff’s motion for a change in custody/visitation without holding a hearing.  The plaintiff had alleged, among other things, the defendant operated a vehicle in an impaired state, posing a danger to the children:

Here, the plaintiff made the necessary showing entitling him to a hearing regarding those branches of his motion which were to modify the Stipulation so as to award him sole legal custody and suspend the defendant’s visitation with the children, unless supervised …. Furthermore, the record does not demonstrate that the Supreme Court possessed adequate relevant information to enable it to make an informed and provident determination as to the children’s best interest so as to render a hearing unnecessary …. Accordingly, the Supreme Court erred in denying those branches of the plaintiff’s motion which sought a modification of the existing custody arrangement, without first conducting a full evidentiary hearing to ascertain the children’s best interests…. Nusbaum v Nusbaum, 2013 NY Slip Op 03307, 2nd Dept, 5-8-13
