Opinion
October 19, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Becker, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, with costs, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Nassau County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.
In view of the serious and conflicting allegations of the parties, it was error for the trial court not to hear the testimony of all proposed witnesses with respect to the question of custody and visitation prior to resolving the issue of overnight visitation (see, Mosesku v. Mosesku, 108 A.D.2d 795). Moreover, the trial court should have made specific findings of fact prior to issuing its order (see, Mosesku v. Mosesku, supra). We note that our determination is not intended to and should not influence the trial court's final decision with respect to custody and visitation after the completion of the trial on those issues. Lawrence, J.P., Weinstein, Kooper and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
