A father filed two motions with respect to the termination of his parental rights. Among other things, the father argued that relevant provisions of family laws, which sets out the requirements for an unwed father to have veto rights over his child’s adoption, is constitutionally infirm because it denies him equal protection and due process based on distinctions by gender and marital status.

A New York Custody Lawyer said that according to the facts of the case, the child was born with a positive toxicology for opiates, which resulted in her remaining in the hospital for over a month due to withdrawal symptoms. When the child was released from the hospital, a government agency conducted an emergency removal, and thereafter, the child, pending the resolution of a neglect petition filed against her parents, began to reside with her current non-kinship foster parents.

Sources said that at the time the child was born, both her mother and father were using street methadone and heroin. The neglect petition alleges neglect by virtue of the parents’ substance abuse as well as the mother’s mental illness. The parents were not married. At the last permanency hearing, the court approved the goal of reunification of the child with her parents. But the court extended the child’s placement in foster care after determining that the return of the child home would be contrary to her best interest because the mother failed to make sufficient progress in her mental health and substance abuse services and the father was incarcerated.

A husband filed a petition seeking an order of protection against his spouse, based upon the sole ground that she smokes cigarettes in the presence of himself and the children, causing harm to them.

A New York Family Lawyer said that the records of the case showed that the wife commenced an Action for Divorce on the grounds of domestic violence and cruel and inhuman treatment. The husband brought on an order to show cause in which he seeks a protection order against the wife prohibiting her from smoking cigarettes in the presence of himself and their children, together with other requests. The husband is a physician and claims that his wife’s smoking is causing harmful effects upon their children. He describes his wife as a “chain smoker” who smokes at least three packages each day. He claims that she smokes all over the marital residence. The husband argued that, pursuant to relevant provisions of family laws, the court not only is empowered, but is required to step in and protect the welfare of adults or children wherever they are subjected to any form of harmful or abusive conduct.

The wife contended that she is not a “chain smoker.” However, the wife did not reveal how much she does in fact smoke, nor did she indicate whether she ever smokes in the presence of the children. A New York Custody Lawyer said that the wife said her cigarette smoking is confined to a small T.V. room on the ground floor of the marital residence. She also indicates that she does not smoke in the upstairs area of the house.
