NOT TO BE IGNORED

Mark and Annastasia shared joint legal and residential custody of their 12-year old son, but after a request for sole legal custody was granted in Annastasia's favor, Mark went to the Appellate Division, Third Department.

But while the appeal was pending, Mark had a change of heart and advised the court that he was no longer interested in pursuing a new custodial arrangement. As a result, the underlying outcome was affirmed.

Interestingly, while their kid's attorney wanted the Family Court's determination reviewed, the AD3 declined to entertain that request because his arguments hadn't been properly before the court. (Apparently, a notice of appeal hadn't been filed.)

Did that escape notice?
