Matter of L.R. v E.H.

Holding The Appellate Division affirmed the Family Court’s denial of the father’s request to keep his out-of-state address confidential, finding he failed to demonstrate an unreasonable risk to his safety. The court also upheld the limitation of the father’s visitation to New York until he disclosed his Nevada address, citing his financial circumstances and refusal to share travel costs.

The court’s words

the father's testimony concerning the alleged threats was largely based on his own speculation and interpretation of events
