Family Court Improperly Conditioned Future Visitation Upon Enrollment in a Drug Testing Program and Improperly Delegated Its Authority to Control Father’s Visitation to Mother

The Second Department noted that Family Court could not condition father’s future visitation upon enrollment in a drug testing program.  Family Court could only make participating in the drug testing program a component of a current visitation order.  In addition Family Court improperly delegated its control of father’s visitation to mother:

…”[A] court may not order that a parent undergo counseling or treatment as a condition of future visitation or reapplication for visitation rights, but may only direct a party to submit to counseling or treatment as a component of visitation” … . Thus, the Family Court erred in conditioning the father’s visitation upon his enrollment in a random drug testing program at a medical facility, and should have instead directed the father to enroll in such a program as a component of visitation. Moreover, by authorizing the mother to suspend visitation upon the father’s failure to provide proof of his prescription, the Family Court improperly delegated its responsibility to determine whether and when visitation rights should be suspended … . Matter of Welch v Taylor, 2014 NY Slip Op 01619, 2nd Dept 3-12-14
