Establishes procedures for post-termination visitation and contact between a child and their parent.
New York A04940 amends the family court act and social services law to establish procedures for post-termination visitation and contact between a child and their parent. The court may order such visitation and contact if it is in the child's best interest, and the court has discretion over the nature of the visitation. The child's consent is required if they are over fourteen years old. All parties to the order, as well as any subsequent legal guardians, custodians, or adoptive parents, may move the court to enforce or modify the order.
