Prohibiting Child- Parent Visitation After Parental Rights Are Terminated by Trial in New York: A Denial of Parental Due Process

Authors

Rachel Turetsky, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law

Abstract

The note argues that New York's current statutory framework denying posttermination contact for parents after a trial termination is constitutionally and policy-deficient. It advocates for a legislative amendment to permit courts to order posttermination contact or communication when it serves the best interests of the child, aligning with due process rights and the majority of U.S. jurisdictions.
