In re Department of Social Services

228 A.D.2d 677, 644 N.Y.2d 990, 644 N.Y.S.2d 990, 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7445

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided June 24, 1996·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

The order of protection directed the father "to refrain from [678] having absolutely any contact with his daughter”. Nevertheless, the father on several occasions visited the mother’s house with the daughter present, drove his daughter home from a Family Court appearance, and engaged in several half-hour visits with his daughter.

Accordingly, the evidence adduced at the hearing established that the father violated the order of protection willfully and without just cause (see, Family Ct Act § 1072). Bracken, J. P., O’Brien, Joy and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
