EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANTED THE AWARD OF CUSTODY TO A GRANDPARENT AND THE SHARING OF CUSTODY WITH THE PARENTS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined extraordinary circumstances warranted the award of custody to a grandparent and the sharing of custody with the parents:

… [T]he Family Court properly found that the paternal grandmother demonstrated the existence of extraordinary circumstances. The children’s parents were either unable or unwilling to provide the children with basic personal hygiene, clean clothes, adequate medical or dental care, or an appropriate place to sleep, and they also lacked insight into the children’s particular needs, which included multiple special needs with respect to one of the children… . In particular, the mother forgot to feed the children on several occasions, and the children often came to school hungry and dressed in dirty clothing that smelled of cat urine and feces. Moreover, the parents did not remedy the situation, despite multiple efforts by school personnel.

After finding the existence of extraordinary circumstances, the Family Court next inquired into what custodial arrangement would serve the children’s best interests. The court properly determined that the children’s best interests would be served by shared legal custody among the paternal grandmother and parents, with primary residential custody to the paternal grandmother and frequent contact and visitation between the parents and the children. Matter of Conroy v Conroy, 2018 NY Slip Op 02462, Second Dept 4-11-18
