Family Court Should Have Allowed Mother to Subpoena Medical Records to Rebut Allegations Against Her In Custody Proceeding​

The Second Department determined Family Court erred when it denied the mother’s subpoena for medical treatment records to rebut the allegations against her in a custody proceeding:

Under the particular facts of this case, the Family Court improvidently exercised its discretion when it did not sign a subpoena proffered by the mother so as to permit her the opportunity to present certain medical treatment records to rebut the allegations asserted against her. The subject medical treatment records were relevant to the issue of whether an award of physical custody to the father was in the best interests of the subject child, and should have been considered by the Family Court ….  Matter of Murphy v Lewis, 2013 NY Slip Op 03843, 2nd Dept, 5-29-13
