No Basis in Record for Denying Noncustodial Parent Visitation

After affirming a derivative neglect finding against the mother based upon excessive corporal punishment of a sibling, the Second Department determined Family Court should not have denied her visitation:

Absent extraordinary circumstances, such as where visitation would be detrimental to the child’s well-being, a noncustodial parent has a right to reasonable visitation privileges… . Here, the Family Court improvidently exercised its discretion in failing to provide the mother with any visitation, either unsupervised or supervised, with Keith W., since there were no extraordinary circumstances justifying the denial of the mother’s right to reasonable visitation… .  Matter of Jacob P, 2013 NY Slip Op 04007, 2nd Dept, 6-5-13
