THE COURT MAY ORDER A PARENT TO SUBMIT TO COUNSELING OR TREATMENT AS PART OF A CUSTODY OR PARENTAL ACCESS ORDER; BUT THE COURT MAY NOT IMPOSE SUCH CONDITIONS ON SEEKING PARENTAL ACCESS IN THE FUTURE (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department noted that a court may order a parent to submit to counseling or treatment as part of a custody or parental access order, but the court cannot not impose those same conditions upon seeking parental access in the future:

“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'” … . Here, the Family Court properly directed the father to submit to hair follicle, drug, and alcohol testing as a component of his parental access … . However, the court should not have made the father’s submission to such testing a condition to seeking future parental access … . Matter of Buskey v Alexis, 2024 NY Slip Op 01917, Second Dept 4-10-24

Practice Point: A court may impose treatment or counseling conditions in a parental access order, but cannot so condition the seeking of future parental access.
