DESPITE FATHER’S PRO SE MOTION SEEKING VISITATION, NO PROVISION FOR VISITATION WAS MADE IN THE CUSTODY ORDER, MATTER REMANDED FOR A HEARING (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, remanding the matter for a hearing in Family Court, noted that the final custody order did not make any provision for visitation:

… [T]he final custody order did not make any provision for visitation, and the father’s pro se motion explicitly sought visitation with the child. Family Court implicitly denied this request without providing any rationale. Visitation is a joint right of the child and noncustodial parent and, absent “exceptional circumstances,” it “follows almost as a matter of course,” and is presumed to be in the child’s best interest … . The record of the custody hearing established that the father had regular unsupervised and overnight visitation with the child throughout the prolonged custody proceedings, although there were some late pickups and missed visits in the months before the custody order was issued. We note the child’s attorney represents that the child strongly wishes to resume visits with the father … . Matter of Jolanda K. v Damian B., 2018 NY Slip Op 07675, First Dept 11-13-18
