Citations: 96 A.D.3d 1459; 945 N.Y.S.2d 909
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; June 8, 2012; New York; State Appellate Court
An appeal was made by the respondent mother regarding a Family Court order from Erie County that terminated her parental rights concerning her daughter. The court affirmed the order without costs. The mother argued that the Family Court erred by relying on a 2007 psychological report related to her parental evaluation. The court found the report pertinent to assessing the mother’s mental fitness, which was relevant to determining the child's best interests. The decision referenced prior cases to support the relevance of psychological evaluations in such determinations. The order was unanimously upheld by the judges.
