632 N.Y.S.2d 313

In the Matter of Bonnie Manchester, Appellant, v. Ellsworth Whitbeck, Respondent

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Third Department.

October 12, 1995


Casey, J.

After a hearing on respondent's application for sole custody of the parties' only child, Family Court found that petitioner had failed to provide for the minimal needs of the child and that she demonstrated little understanding of the parenting role. Based upon its findings, Family Court awarded sole custody of the child to respondent, with liberal visitation to petitioner. We conclude that a change in custody is not warranted.
