FATHER’S VISITATION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO MOTHER’S CONSENT; ATTORNEY FOR THE CHILD SHOULD NOT HAVE REFERRED TO EVIDENCE TAKEN IN THE LINCOLN HEARING IN THE APPELLATE BRIEF; THE HEARING TRANSCRIPTS ARE SEALED AND CONFIDENTIAL (THIRD DEPT). ​

The Third Department, modifying Family Court, determined father’s visitation rights should not have been made subject to mother’s consent and the attorney for the child should not have referred to the Lincoln hearing in the appellate brief:

Although the order provides the father with the opportunity for frequent and regular unsupervised access, the provision conditioning expansion of visitation to include overnight visitation only upon the mother’s consent is an impermissible delegation of authority … . …

… [W]e note our displeasure that the attorney for the children made repeated references to the Lincoln hearing in the appellate brief that he submitted on their behalf … . Family Court’s promise of confidentiality should not be lightly breached, and these transcripts are sealed. We again emphasize that “[t]he right to confidentiality during a Lincoln hearing belongs to the child and is superior to the rights or preferences of the parents. Children whose parents are engaged in custody and visitation disputes must be protected from having to openly choose between parents or openly divulging intimate details of their respective parent/child relationships” … . We further note that the breach of the confidentiality of the Lincoln hearing — and of the trust of the children — was exacerbated by the fact that the attorney for the children made certain representations about the children’s testimony that were inconsistent with their statements during the hearing. Matter of Ellen TT. v Parvaz UU., 2019 NY Slip Op 09328, Third Dept 12-26-19
