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

265 A.D.2d 484 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

696 N.Y.S.2d 855

Opinion

Submitted September 14, 1999

October 18, 1999

In a child visitation proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the petitioner paternal grandmother appeals from an order of the Family Court, Suffolk County (McElligott, J.).

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

There is sufficient evidence in the record to support the determination of the Family Court that the best interests of the child require that the petitioner, the child's paternal grandmother, continue to have only supervised visitation during the father's periods of visitation, and we decline to disturb that determination (see, Matter of Emanuel S. v. Joseph E., 78 N.Y.2d 178; Lo Presti v. Lo Presti, 40 N.Y.2d 522).

The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.
