A look at forensic psychiatric examinations in the context of contested custody matters. The article discusses a recent decision by an appellate court in New York, which held that a trial court did not commit an error by not mandating a forensic psychiatric examination of the parents because no proof was put forth that the mother had a mental illness. The author also focuses on whether or not mental illness of a parent should be a prerequisite to a forensic psychiatric examination, and how (if it all) that impacts the due process rights of a litigant in a custody case vs. whether or not such a requirement offers a valuable gatekeeping function.

The running of the statute of limitations is assuredly a major and continuing problem for mortgage holders—typically encountered not surprisingly in the mortgage foreclosure action itself. That danger is exacerbated by the foreclosure abuse prevention act which denies to a foreclosing party the right to unilaterally withdraw an acceleration or cancel it by discontinuing the action. But the concept is not confined solely to that arena. Rather, it can apply to what might be seen as peripheral pursuits, for example, the strict foreclosure.
