Matter of Cinquemani v. Guarino

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

243 A.D.2d 562 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

October 14, 1997

Appeal from the Family Court, Westchester County (Scancarelli, J.),


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The Family Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the petitioner's request to appoint a Law Guardian for the child or in refusing to allow testimony from the petitioner's forensic experts ( see, Richard D. v. Wendy P., 47 N.Y.2d 943; Matter of Kosinski v. Mahoney, 207 A.D.2d 1014; Mascoli v. Mascoli, 132 A.D.2d 653). In addition, upon our review of the record, we agree with the Family Court that the petitioner did not demonstrate a material change of circumstances warranting a modification of visitation as requested by the petition ( see, Matter of Induddi v Moore, 214 A.D.2d 616; Matter of Brocher v. Brocher, 213 A.D.2d 544).

Mangano, P.J., Copertino, Joy, Florio and Luciano, JJ., concur.
