3 A.D.3d 461 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

2761.

Decided January 29, 2004.

Order, Family Court, New York County (Richard Ross, J.), entered on or about June 17, 1999, which granted petitioner's application for custody of the subject child, with supervised visits by respondent, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Kristin D. Aswad, for Petitioner-Respondent.

Jay A. Maller, for Respondent-Appellant.

Before: Nardelli, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Ellerin, Gonzalez, JJ.


The award of custody in favor of petitioner is amply supported by evidence that, inter alia, respondent interfered with petitioner's visitation rights ( see Matter of Michael C., 282 A.D.2d 407, lv denied 96 N.Y.2d 722) and resides with a boyfriend who has an extensive criminal history that includes drug-related convictions ( cf. Matter of Joseph Emmanuel N., 292 A.D.2d 295), and that petitioner is better able to provide for the child's emotional, intellectual and other needs, including a nurturing home and family ( see Eschbach v. Eschbach, 56 N.Y.2d 167, 172, 173).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
