Child Custody and Visitation
Felty v. Felty, 66 A.D.3d 64 (2nd Dep't 2009) (the mother, who was a victim of domestic abuse and had lied to the father in order to safely flee from Kentucky to move to New York, started a custody action in New York after living there for six months. However, she allowed the children to visit the father for two weeks of that period. The motion court ruled that this absence from New York was not temporary and so the mother did not prove that New York had jurisdiction because the children had not resided there for six months. The appellate court reversed because the children's visit was temporary and because the mother never intended to return to Kentucky; she had maintained ail of her New York licenses and voting registration, while the father never prepared a permanent home for the children in Kentucky. Further the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, the mother should not have been penalized for taking actions, like lying to the father, in order to protect her and the children from abuse).
