By: Hobson-Williams, P.C. The guardian’s charge entered into a marriage with the younger woman. When the guardian learned of the marriage, the guardian petitioned the Court to order a psychiatric examination for the gentleman to see if he had the capacity (the ability to make a rational decision based upon all relevant facts and considerations) On September 24, 2014, the New York State Appellate Court, Second Department, found that the elderly gentleman’s wife was never given an opportunity to testify against annulling the marriage before the Supreme Court ordered dissolution of her marriage. Further, the Appellate Court determined that neither the guardian nor anyone else ever formally moved to amend the petition to include the annulment as a form of relief and reversed the Supreme Court’s decision to annul the marriage and remanded the case back to the Guardianship Court for a new hearing. “We are pleased with the Appellate Court’s decision,” Ms. Hobson-Williams said. “The lower court did not give my client any notice that it was going to annul her marriage and she had no opportunity to object. My client was rendered homeless after the lower court decision and we are glad that we will receive the opportunity for another hearing and a chance for my client to be recognized as the wife.” For more information, call 1 (866) 825-1529 or visit www.thobsonwilliamslaw.com.
