Matter of Alessandra L. v Robert H.
Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 05480
Holding The appeal was dismissed as taken from a nonappealable order because the petitioner failed to file objections to the Support Magistrate’s order. Under Family Court Act § 439(e), an appeal must be taken from the resulting Family Court order after objections are reviewed, not directly from the Support Magistrate’s decision.
The court’s words
no appeal lies from an order of a Support Magistrate
