THE JUDGE SHOULD NOT HAVE DELEGATED THE COURT’S AUTHORITY TO SCHEDULE VISITATION (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing (modifying) Family Court, determined the judge should not have delegated the court’s authority to schedule visitation:

… Family Court improperly granted the grandfather and the father of the older child sole authority to determine the dates for at least four consecutive days of visitation in the months of July and August. Allowing the grandfather and the father of the older child to determine periods of summer visitation for the children without the agreement of the mother, the custodial parent, constitutes “an improper delegation of authority” … . In view of the sparse state of the record, as well as the passage of time since the entry of the orders on appeal, we remit solely for the purpose of Family Court setting a schedule for the summer visitation. Matter of Daniel RR. v Heather RR., 2023 NY Slip Op 06011, Third Dept 11-22-23

Practice Point: Here the court should not have delegated the authority to schedule visitation to grandfather and father without the agreement of mother, the custodial parent.
