Hawthorne v. Hutton

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

Decided September 21, 1967Published

1Opinion of the Court

Memorandum : “ In filiation proceedings, the proof must be ‘ entirely satisfactory" to sustain an order” [directing support], (People v. Borner, 280 App. Div. 141.) The proof in this case does not meet that standard, and consequently the order was unsupported by the testimony adduced. (Appeal from order of Erie Family Court determining paternity and ordering support.) Present — Williams, P. J., Bastow, Del Veeehio and Marsh, JJ.
