Family Court Could Not Countermand County Court’s Order of Protection

The Third Department noted that Family Court can not countermand County Court’s order of protection stemming from the father’s assault of the mother.  Therefore, Family Court could not require the mother to facilitate the reading of the father’s letters to the child:

Family Court does not have jurisdiction to countermand the provisions  of a  criminal court  order  of protection ….  Considering that “an order of protection issued incident to a criminal proceeding is an ameliorative measure intended to safeguard the rights of victims”…, the criminal court order of protection would have to be modified, if deemed appropriate by County Court, before Family Court would be authorized to require the mother to accept, read or facilitate the reading of the father’s communications to the child.  Matter of Samantha WW v Gerald XX, 513853, 3rd Dept 6-27-13
