Description:



Rochester, New York divorce lawyers represented the parties in a marriage dissolution case.

Outcome:


Here, "there is no question the parties have differing parenting styles" that at times cause conflict; however, there is not a sufficient alleged change in circumstances based on the totality of the circumstances. (Matter of Rosen v Rosen, 162 A.D.3d 1283, 1285 [2d Dept 2018]). The accusations, even as accepted as true, do not rise to a level sufficient to warrant subjecting the Children to the trauma and stress of further modification proceedings. (See David W. v Julia W., 158 A.D.2d 1, 6-7 [1st Dept 1990]; D.G., supra ["The change in circumstances threshold question is a necessary judicial safeguard to avoid subjecting families to unnecessary litigation and the ordeal of a hearing on the sensitive issue of custody."]). However, being cognizant of that conflict, the Court does find it appropriate to appoint a parenting coordinator to facilitate a productive dialogue between the parties to reduce the tension in this family for the benefit of the parents, and more importantly, the Children.
