Gay M. D. v. Gary M. D.

—Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Family Court’s determination awarding respondent unsupervised visitation with the parties’ child has a sound and substantial basis in the record and should not be disturbed. Visitation is a joint right of a noncustodial parent and the child (Weiss v Weiss, 52 NY2d 170 , 175). The court properly concluded that unsupervised visitation by respondent is not inimical to the welfare of the child but rather is in the child’s best interests (see, Twersky v Twersky, 103 AD2d 775 , 775-776; Daghir v Daghir, 82 AD2d 191 , 193-194, affd 56 NY2d 938 ; see also, Matter of Gerald D. v Lucille S., 188 AD2d 650 , 650-651). (Appeal from Order of Onondaga County Family Court, Hedges, J.—Visitation.) Present—Denman, P. J., Pine, Balio, Callahan and Davis, JJ.
