Matter of Sorrentino v. Sorrentino

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 3, 1990
168 A.D.2d 454 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 3, 1990

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


Ordered that the amended order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the proceeding is dismissed.

The Family Court does not possess subject matter jurisdiction to direct an adult son's continued occupation of his father's residence. It is well established that a parent is not required to support an emancipated child over the age of 21 years and the Family Court lacks the authority to issue any such direction. Mangano, P.J., Kunzeman, Kooper, Sullivan and Ritter, JJ., concur.
