Right to Counsel.

In a proceeding pursuant to part three, article six of the Family Court Act to allow a mother visitation with her child in her home, the Fourth Department determined the grandmother, who had primary physical custody of the child, should have been advised of her right to assigned counsel (Family Court Act section 262 (a)(iii)).  The court’s failure to so advise her constituted reversible error.  Matter of Wright vs Walker, 11, CA-12-00962 Fourth Dept. 2-1-13
