FAMILY COURT SHOULD HAVE CONDUCTED A HEARING IN THIS CUSTODY/PARENTAL ACCESS PROCEEDING AND SHOULD HAVE MADE FINDINGS OF FACT AS REQUIRED BY CPLR 4213 (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined a hearing should have been held in this custody/parental access proceeding. The court noted Family Court failed to set forth findings of fact as required by CPLR 4213 (b):

Parental access determinations should “[g]enerally be made only after a full and plenary hearing and inquiry” … . “While the general right to a hearing in [parental access] cases is not absolute, where ‘facts material to the best interest analysis, and the circumstances surrounding such facts, remain in dispute,’ a hearing is required” … . Here, the record shows that there were disputed factual issues regarding the finding of the children’s best interests such that a hearing on the father’s parental access was required … . … [W]e note that the decision issued by the Supreme Court failed to comply with CPLR 4213(b) in that it did not set forth findings of fact … . Matter of Vazquez v Bahr, 2021 NY Slip Op 02397, Second Dept 4-21-21
