MATTER OF GOLDMAN v. PAREDES

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Feb 8, 1999

Ordered that the orders are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

In light of the "extraordinary circumstances" present ( Matter of Bennett v. Jeffreys, 40 N.Y.2d 543, 544), the court's award of permanent custody of the subject infant to the respondent Brenda Goldman was proper ( see, Goldman v. Goldman, 201 A.D.2d 860). The court had before it a comprehensive record containing, inter alia, extensive interviews as well as reports and updated reports prepared by various experts, all of which extensively analyzed the parties' respective circumstances, thus permitting a full and complete review of the child's best interests ( cf., Matter of Wagner v. Wagner, 222 A.D.2d 1039; Goldman v. Goldman, supra, at 862-863).

Bracken, J. P., O'Brien, Thompson and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
