Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Non-Custodial Parent's Rights

If the ex-wife can make out a "compelling enough" tale including allegations of hazzards / events that might put the children's safety At Risk ,, a judge might order a home investigation by either Social Services or the probation dept {a resource available under the statute that the court's almost never access}. One tends to think it would have to be a tale full of some allegations of Truly Bad Things - - but many FamCt judges prefer to err on the side of caution - - so, depending on the whole cast of characters / circumstances / your locale, etc., there might be as much as a 50% 50% chance such an investigation could be ordered.

Good luck.
