FATHER’S ABILITY TO BRING FUTURE PETITIONS FOR CUSTODY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED UPON HIS UNDERGOING TREATMENT OR COUNSELING (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined father’s ability to bring future custody petitions should not have been condition upon father’s undergoing counseling or treatment:

A court deciding a custody proceeding may “direct a party to submit to counseling or treatment as a component of a [parental access] or custody order” … . “A court may not, however, order that a parent undergo counseling or treatment as a condition of future [parental access] or reapplication for [parental access] rights” … . Here, the Family Court erred in conditioning the filing of any future petitions by the father to modify parental access upon his successful completion of an anger management class and a negative drug test, and we modify the order so as to eliminate that condition. Matter of Hardy v Hardy. 2021 NY Slip Op 03320. Second Dept 5-26-21
