My wife and I have custody of her cousins daughter because the parents abandoned her at birth. recently my wifes sister (2nd cousin to the child) has filed for visitation of the child which my wife and I strongly oppose due to her sisters extreme use of foul language in the childs presance and her tendancy to become irate and uncontrolable when she gets angry. My understanding is that in NY she has no rights for such visitation.the first court appearance alone will cost us $750 which is half of the money we saved for the adoption which had to be put on hold for this.fighting it in court would set the adoption back quite some time. my question is does the judge have a legal right to even hear this case based on the fact that she has no rights provided by the currant law?
