Case References parents have shared-


Braiman v Braiman- "This is a NY case that all of our attorneys should know about joint custody. Braiman v Braiman. NY CASE LAW REGARDING JOINT CUSTODY- NOT FAVORABLE IF PARENTS CANNOT COMMUNICATE- APPELLATE COURTS HAVE FOUND “In what continues to be regarded as the leading judicial pronouncement in this state on joint custody, Braiman v Braiman, 44 NY2d 584 (1978), the Court of Appeals described it as being appropriate only "in the rare case" and as something to be "encouraged primarily as a voluntary alternative for relatively stable, amicable parents behaving in mature civilized fashion" (id. at 589-590). Now, almost four decades since Braiman, appellate courts still tend to be reluctant to order joint custody absent an agreement by the parties or a showing that they can work well together (see e.g., Michael B. 145 AD3d at 430 ["Joint legal custody is not appropriate where ... the parties' relationship is characterized by acrimony and mistrust"]; Lubit v Lubit, 65 AD3d 954 [1st Dept 2013] ["The evidence demonstrates that the acrimony and mistrust that marks the parties' relationship makes joint custody a nonviable option"]; Lee v Fitts, 147 AD3d 1058 [2d Dept 2017] [Joint custody "is inappropriate where ... the parties have demonstrated an inability to communicate and cooperate on matters concerning the child"]).”"-SE
