In this case, Ronald A. Usenza and Maura G. Gannon were both respondents and petitioners, while Maura G. Gannon was named only as a respondent.

The father objected to the Findings of Fact and order which occurred after a reversal and remand was issued by the Appellate Division.

The petitioners in this case are L. Douglas Wilder and the Governor of Virginia et all. The respondent in the case is the Virginia Hospital Association.

Background Information

In order for a medical services provider such as a hospital to qualify for federal assistance in paying for medical care provided to the needy, the State must submit a plan to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Once approved, this plan will establish a scheme for the reimbursement of health care providers. The Boren Amendment was passed by Congress in 1980 and this requires the reimbursements to the provider at rates that are set by the state. These rates must be adequate and meet the cost to provide efficient care at the facilities.

In this case, Matthew G. Czajak is the petitioner and Donna A. Vavonese is the respondent.

The Background

The Family Court Act provides jurisdiction over paternity to Family Court only when determining issues of support. The Family Court does not have the authority to ascertain status except when involved in adoption proceedings.

In this case, Michael Bast is the appellant, while Shelley R. Rossoff is the respondent.

History

A New York Family Lawyer explained that this appeal required consideration of child support payments in a situation where both parents retain custody of the child. The Child Support Standards act needs to be applied, and it is best that the assessment be made as it would in any other case. Because the other levels of the court system did not follow the formula laid out in the CSSA however, a modification is required to remit to recalculate child support requirements.
