Neglect Proceeding “Adjourned in Contemplation of Dismissal” Properly Considered and Findings of Forensic Psychologist Properly Ignored in Modification of Custody Proceeding

In affirming Family Court’s modification of custody, the Second Department noted that Family Court properly considered a neglect proceeding that was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal (not a determination on the merits) and Family Court was not required to accept the recommendations of the court-appointed forensic psychologist.  Matter of Selliah v Penamente, 2013 NY Slip Op 04815, 2nd Dept 6-26-13
