Mother Was Not Afforded a Full Hearing in a Custody-Modification Proceeding

The Third Department determined Family Court erred by not affording mother the opportunity to fully cross-examine father or present her own proof in a custody-modification proceeding:

It is well settled “that modification of a Family Ct Act article 6 custody order requires a full and comprehensive hearing at which a parent is to be afforded a full and fair opportunity to be heard” … . Family Court plainly deprived the mother of such a hearing by preventing her from fully cross-examining the father or submitting her own proof before imposing a custody arrangement to which she had not consented … . Matter of Richardson v Massey, 2015 NY Slip Op 02817, 3rd Dept 4-2-15
