In re Lauren D.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
Mony Menashe F. (Anonymous) (Mony) and Elise D. (Anonymous) (Elise) were married in New York on September 5, 1971. Soon thereafter they moved to Florida, and on July 10, 1974 they were divorced. The custody of their only child, Jennifer, was awarded to Elise and Mony was required to pay $30 per week for child support. In August 1980, Elise married the adoptive father and a second child was born to her of this marriage. Jennifer has continuously resided with her mother. The adoptive father alleges that Mony’s abandonment of his daughter renders his consent to the adoption unnecessary. We agree.
