Family Court Cannot Review Support Magistrate’s Order in Absence of Specific Objection

In reversing Family Court, the Third Department explained that Family Court does not have the authority to review those portions of a Support Magistrate’s order to which no specific objection his been made:

It is well established that “an order from a Support Magistrate is final and  Family Court’s review under Family Ct Act § 439 (e) is tantamount to appellate review and requires  specific  objections  for  issues  to  be  preserved”  ….  Family Court therefore lacked the authority to review the  order  dismissing  the  mother’s  first modification  petition,  to which no  objections had  been  filed… .  Matter of Hubbard v Barber. 515420, 3rd Dept 6-27-13
