Decision Reached in an Appeal

Posted By Hindin Deutsch, P.C. || 6-May-2013

Our firm recently gained a decision from the court in a case we were representing. Matter of Pinsky v. Botnick was handled in the Appellate Department after the original case had been resolved in 2012. EB had four children with the late JB. After he passed the grandmother, JP, sought visitation rights immediately. She served the mother of the children with the petition for visitation six weeks following the death of the husband. A hearing commenced and at it the grandmother stated she was close with all the children and that she believed EB was a capable mother.

The mother gave her side, saying that the family was still trying to process the death of the husband and the children had been disturbed when they learned that their mother was required to go to court. She also stated that the children had feared the grandmother would try to take them away. A doctor was sought to evaluate the children and he stated that the older children were dealing with what appeared to be "complicated bereavement" and they had nightmares regarding the grandmother. At that time, the children's attorney let the court know that the children did not want to see their grandparents yet. A court order was given on March 22, 2012 and the grandmother received visitation rights with the children for three hours every other Sunday, as well as the ability to email with the children each day. Therapy was also requested for all of them. The original decision was revisited and changed a few times.

Following this the mother sought to have visitation date modified so that it did not begin until October 14, 2012. She stated that the grandmother had already been showing up to the children's after school events and extracurricular activities and that on one occasion the grandmother watched her through the window. She also stated that the grandmother had contacted school officials asking to be put on the email lists. The motion of the mother was denied by the Family Court and she continued to appeal. The case was again reviewed and we were able to sway the decision to the interests of our client. After going over the details the court found that the grandmother should not have received visitation rights and that the mother should not have been required to undergo therapy. This case, as with many family law issues, included sensitive information and greatly impacted the lives of those involved. Our firm understands how crucial it is to receive certain results in a case and the impact that it can have on all those involved.
