N.Y. Domestic Relations Law § 75-e: Effect of child custody determination

§ 75-e. Effect of child custody determination. A child custody

determination made by a court of this state that had jurisdiction under

this article binds all persons who have been served in accordance with

the laws of this state or notified in accordance with section

seventy-five-g of this title or who have submitted to the jurisdiction

of the court, and who have been given an opportunity to be heard. As to

those persons, the determination is conclusive as to all decided issues

of law and fact except to the extent the determination is modified or

except to the extent that enforcement of an order would violate

subdivision one-c of section two hundred forty of this chapter or

section one thousand eighty-five of the family court act.
