New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of Ronald FF. v. Cindy GG.

July 2, 198770 N.Y.2d 141

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and denied the petitioner's request for visitation, holding that the Bennett extraordinary‑circumstances rule applies only to custody disputes between parents and third parties and cannot be used to grant visitation rights against a fit custodial mother's wishes.
