SUPPORT MAGISTRATE SHOULD NOT HAVE CONSIDERED MOTHER’S POST-HEARING SUBMISSION OF AFFIDAVITS AND EXHIBITS, FATHER DEPRIVED OF ABILITY TO CROSS-EXAMINE AND OBJECT TO EXHIBITS.

The Second Department determined father was entitled to a hearing on mother’s petition to enforce college expense provisions of a stipulation of settlement. The support magistrate considered affidavits and exhibits submitted after the hearing by mother, depriving father of his right to cross-examine and object:

Family Court Act § 433(a) requires that a respondent “shall be given opportunity to be heard and to present witnesses.” A hearing must consist of an adducement of proof coupled with an opportunity to rebut it … . Here, the Support Magistrate erred in considering the mother’s affidavits and unverified financial information, rather than testimony supported by appropriate documentary evidence, in determining the mother’s petition … . As the father was deprived of the opportunity to rebut the mother’s affidavits and exhibits, the matter must be remitted to the Family Court … for a new hearing and determination on the mother’s petition … . Matter of Hezi v Hezi, 2016 NY Slip Op 05498, 2nd Dept 7-13-16
