Firm continues string of victories for father of child

Egan & Golden, LLP associate, Erin B. Kowtna, successfully completed the last act of litigation in the case of Scala v. Evanson. In this most recent matter, Ms. Kowtna obtained an order of the New York Supreme Court, (Jones, J) after a hearing, authorizing the name change of the parties' child to the father's last name, Scala, where the parties had never married, and the six-year old child had previously gone only by the mother's last name, Evanson. Last November, the Appellate Division, Second Department unanimously affirmed the Family Court's order of a change of custody, granting sole custody to the father and supervised-only visitation to the mother, after a 31-day trial, in which the mother had made numerous false allegations of abuse against the father. A link to the Order is here. The father was represented by Karen Golden and Erin B. Kowtna.
