N.Y. Domestic Relations Law § 77-i: Hearing and order

§ 77-i. Hearing and order. 1. Unless the court issues a temporary

emergency order pursuant to section seventy-six-c of this article, upon

a finding that a petitioner is entitled to immediate physical custody of

the child, the court shall order that the petitioner may take immediate

physical custody of the child unless the respondent establishes that:

(a) the child custody determination has not been registered and

confirmed under section seventy-seven-d of this title and that:

(i) the issuing court did not have jurisdiction under title two of

this article;

(ii) the child custody determination for which enforcement is sought

has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court of a state having

jurisdiction to do so under title two of this article or enforcement of

the determination would violate subdivision one-c of section two hundred

forty of this chapter or section one thousand eighty-five of the family

court act; or

(iii) the respondent was entitled to notice, but notice was not given

in accordance with the standards of section seventy-five-g of this

article, in the proceedings before the court that issued the order for

which enforcement is sought; or

(b) the child custody determination for which enforcement is sought

was registered and confirmed under section seventy-seven-d of this title

but has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court of a state having

jurisdiction to do so under title two of this article.

2. The court shall award the fees, costs, and expenses authorized

under section seventy-seven-k of this title and may grant additional

relief, including a request for the assistance of law enforcement

officials, and set a further hearing to determine whether additional

relief is appropriate.

3. If a party called to testify refuses to answer on the ground that

the testimony may be self-incriminating, the court may draw an adverse

inference from the refusal.

4. A privilege against disclosure of communications between spouses

and a defense of immunity based on the relationship of husband and wife

or parent and child may not be invoked in a proceeding under this act.
