[Editor's note: This article was submitted in response to Toby Kleinman's article "Accountability And Oversight: Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, And Custody Cases," which the New York Law Journal published on July 11. As noted in her piece, Kleinman's article was submitted for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice.] 

The positions taken by Toby Kleinman in her recent column do not comport with New York law, statute, rule, caselaw nor in practice. Kleinman, by all accounts, practices law in New Jersey, not New York.
