Hausner v. Giordano

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided May 26, 2009PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Opinion of the Court

In a proceeding pursuant to Domestic Relations Law § 72 for grandparent visitation, the petitioners appeal from an order of the Family Court, Rockland County (Christopher, J.), dated June 20, 2008, which, after a hearing, dismissed the proceeding for lack of jurisdiction.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Family Court correctly dismissed the proceeding for lack of jurisdiction (see Becker v Toshiko Watanabe, 109 AD2d 861 [1985]).

The petitioners’ remaining contentions are without merit. Mastro, J.P., Miller, Chambers and Austin, JJ., concur.
