Matter of Emilio

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

213 A.D.2d 362 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

March 30, 1995

Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (HaroldLynch, J.).


Family Court's determination that a change of custody would be in the best interests of the child has a sound and substantial basis in the record (see, Eschbach v. Eschbach, 56 N.Y.2d 167, 171-172; Alan G. v. Joan G., 104 A.D.2d 147, 152), including the opinion of a psychologist who was the only expert called at the hearing, the fact that the child's sister resides with petitioner, and proof that petitioner would be able to provide a better home environment, better guidance, and better opportunity to pursue higher education (see, Matter of Rebecca B., 204 A.D.2d 57, 58; Matter of Gant v. Higgins, 203 A.D.2d 23).
