FATHER’S MOTION TO DISMISS MOTHER’S PETITION FOR CUSTODY MODIFICATION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED, FURTHER INQUIRY REQUIRED.

The Third Department determined mother presented sufficient evidence of a change in circumstances to survive father’s motion to dismiss her petition for a custody modification:

Viewed as a whole and accepted as true for this purpose, despite the existence of some apparent contrary evidence, the mother’s proof regarding physical discipline in the father’s household, together with the alleged improvement and stabilization of the mother’s living situation, constituted a change in circumstances sufficient to overcome a motion to dismiss … . The mother thus satisfied her initial burden, and a further and more complete inquiry as to whether a modification of custody is in the best interests of the children is warranted … . Accordingly, we find that Family Court erred in granting the father’s motion to dismiss on this ground.  Matter of Mary BB. v George CC., 2016 NY Slip Op 05406, 3rd Dept 7-7-16
