In Matter
of Lawrence v Lawrence, — N.Y.S.3d —-, 2017 WL 2604311 (Mem), 2017 N.Y.
Slip Op. 05023 (4th Dept., 2017) the Appellate Division dismissed
the enchantment taken by the Lawyer for the Baby representing the events’ oldest
little one from an order dismissing the mom’s petition looking for modification of a
custody order. Inasmuch because the mom had not taken an enchantment from that order,
the kid, whereas dissatisfied with the order, can’t drive the mom to
litigate a petition that she has since deserted. It held {that a} little one in a
custody matter doesn’t have “full-party standing” (Matter of McDermott v. Bale,
94 AD3d 1542, 1543), and it declined to
allow the kid’s wishes to chart the course of litigation.
