Duration of Supervised Visits Cannot Be Left Up to Supervising Agency

The Fourth Department noted that Family Court failed to set up a proper visitation schedule because the court left the duration of the visits up to the supervising agency:

Although the court’s determination that visitation must be supervised is supported by the record …, we note that the court set no minimum time period for the monthly visitation and left the duration of visitation, “up to a maximum of eight hours,” to be determined solely based on the availability of “any authorized agency that supervises visitation.” Consequently, we agree with the mother that the court “erred in failing to set a supervised visitation schedule, implicitly leaving it to the supervisor to determine” the duration of each visit … . We therefore modify the order accordingly, and we remit the matter to Family Court to determine the duration of visitation… . Matter of Ordona v Cothern, 2015 NY Slip Op 02652, 4th Dept 3-27-15
