VISITATION PROPERLY GRANTED TO GRANDMOTHER DESPITE ANIMOSITY BETWEEN GRANDMOTHER AND FATHER.

The Second Department determined Family Court properly found grandmother was entitled to visitation. Animosity between father and grandmother is not a sufficient basis for denial of visitation:

” When a grandparent seeks visitation pursuant to Domestic Relations Law § 72(1), the court must make a two-part inquiry'”  … . “First, it must find that the grandparent has standing, based on, inter alia, equitable considerations” … . “If it concludes that the grandparent has established standing to petition for visitation, then the court must determine if visitation is in the best interests of the child” … . “In considering whether a grandparent has standing to petition for visitation based upon circumstances show[ing] that conditions exist which equity would see fit to intervene' (Domestic Relations Law § 72 [1]), an essential part of the inquiry is the nature and extent of the grandparent-grandchild relationship,' among other factors” … . The court must also consider ” the nature and basis of the parents' objection to visitation'” … . Matter of Seddio v Artura, 2016 NY Slip Op 04063, 2nd Dept 5-26-16
