Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Visitation
My ex-wife was given custody of my retarded child, who was eleven years old when we divorced in Westchester County, N.Y. in 1997. He is now 22 and living with her, as he is incapable of living alone. My ex-wife and I recently became embroiled in a dispute involving the last business matter in which we are jointly involved, pursuant to which she has decided to punish me by not allowing my son to visit with me. She has taken this course of action, despite her having been very liberal for the past fifteen years in allowing my son to visit with me and stay at my home regularly. In fact, she asked me on numerous occasions over the past fifteen years to baby sit for my son, while she traveled, to which, to my knowledge, I always agreed. My son and I continue to desire to spend time together on a regular basis. Since my son is of the age of majority, but mentally handicapped and living with my ex-wife, what kind of action can I bring and in what NYS court that could result in an order that would compel my ex-wife to not interfere with my son and I visiting with each other?

Re: Visitation

You would petition the Family Court for visitation.
