NEW FACTS RENDERED THE RECORD INSUFFICIENT FOR APPELLATE REVIEW IN THIS TERMINATION-OF-PARENTAL-RIGHTS PROCEEDING; MATTER REMITTED FOR A “BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN” HEARING (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, sending the matter back for a “best interests of the children” hearing in this termination-of-parental rights proceeding, determined new facts prohibited an adequate review:

… [T]he three oldest children, along with the father, assert that new facts and allegations warrant remittal for a new dispositional hearing to determine the best interests of those children. We may “consider . . . new facts and allegations ‘to the extent [that] they indicate that the record before us is no longer sufficient’ to determine whether termination of . . . parental rights is in [a child’s] best interests” … . * * * … [W]e conclude that the record before us is no longer sufficient to determine whether termination of respondents’ parental rights is in the best interests of those children … . Matter of Noah C. (Greg C.), 2024 NY Slip Op 01430, Fourth Dept 3-15-24

Practice Point: In a Family Court case, new facts which render the record inadequate for appellate review require remittal for a hearing.
