       This 7th day of March 2018, the Court, having considered the record below

and the briefs filed by the parties, has determined that the judgment of the Family

Motion to Amend Judgment or for Reargument.1

 It appears from the Family Court’s decision in this child custody/visitation case that the child is
unaware of her father’s existence. Indeed, in its bench ruling, the Family Court recognized that
before long the child’s mother will need to address this issue. We too encourage her to explain to
the child that she has a father who has expressed an interest in her life.
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family

Court is AFFIRMED.

                              BY THE COURT:



                              /s/ Gary F. Traynor
                              Justice
