Alternating Custody on a Yearly Basis, Requiring the Child to Attend Two Schools, Was Not In the Child’s Best Interests

The Third Department determined that alternating physical custody between the parents on a yearly basis, requiring the child to attend two different schools, was not in the child’s best interests:

Here, based on the totality of the circumstances, we disagree with Family Court’s determination, and find that alternating physical custody on a yearly basis is not in the child’s best interests … . Although presenting differing arguments, both parents, as well as the attorney for the child, argue against this disposition on this appeal. As a result of the alternating school schedule in place previously, the child has missed activities and field trips at both schools, and this can only be expected to increase. The superintendent of the school district in Canada where the child’s school is located opined in a letter that the child’s social, emotional and academic development would best be served by attending only one school, and we agree. Despite the hardships and separation necessarily arising from the physical distance between the two parents, it is the child’s own stability that takes increasing precedence as he ages … . Matter of Nelson v Perea, 2014 NY Slip Op 04091, 3rd Dept 6-5-14
