Matter of Lopez v. Lopez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 21, 1995
212 A.D.2d 710 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

February 21, 1995

Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Segal, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Where, as here, there has been a full evidentiary hearing on the issue of visitation, the findings of the hearing court are to be accorded great weight and will not be lightly set aside (see, D'Errico v. D'Errico, 158 A.D.2d 503, 504). Under the circumstances of this case, we find that the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in granting the petitioner visitation with his now-6-year-old daughter limited to every other month at the correctional facility where the petitioner is incarcerated (see, Domestic Relations Law § 240). Sullivan, J.P., Miller, Copertino, Joy and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
