Matter of Michener v. Metcalf

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 23, 1984
99 A.D.2d 925 (N.Y. App. Div. 1984)

Opinion

February 23, 1984

Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Broome County (Whiting, Jr., J.), entered May 27, 1983, which determined that it would retain jurisdiction of a custody proceeding brought in said court.


Our review of the record in this case reveals that Supreme Court did not refer to Family Court any applications to enforce or modify custody or visitation rights and that Supreme Court did not provide in its judgment of absolute divorce that said judgment could be enforced or modified only in Supreme Court. Thus, Family Court has jurisdiction to determine the petition brought pursuant to section 651 FCT of the Family Court Act (see Family Ct Act, § 467, subd [b], par [ii]; § 652, subd [b], par [ii]). Order affirmed, without costs. Kane, J.P., Main, Weiss, Mikoll and Yesawich, Jr., JJ., concur.
