FAMILY COURT DID NOT MAKE FACTUAL FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF ITS GRANT OF SOLE CUSTODY, MATTER REMITTED (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department reversed Family Court’s custody ruling because the ruling was not supported by factual findings. The matter was remitted:

It is “well established that the court is obligated to set forth those facts essential to its decision’ ” (…see CPLR 4213 [b]; Family Ct Act § 165 [a]). Here, the court utterly failed to follow that well-established rule inasmuch as it made no findings to support its determination. “Effective appellate review, whatever the case but especially in child visitation, custody or neglect proceedings, requires that appropriate factual findings be made by the trial court—the court best able to measure the credibility of the witnesses” … . We therefore reverse the order, reinstate the mother’s petition, and remit the matter to Family Court to make a determination on the petitions, including specific findings as to a change in circumstances and the best interests of the child, following an additional hearing if necessary … . Matter of Brown v Orr, 2018 NY Slip Op 07905, Fourth Dept 11-16-28
