§ 447. Order of visitation. (a) In the absence of an order of custody
or of visitation entered by the supreme court, the court may make an
order of custody or of visitation, in accordance with subdivision one of
section two hundred forty of the domestic relations law, requiring one
parent to permit the other to visit the children at stated periods
without an order of protection, even where the parents are divorced and
the support order is for a child only.

(b) Any order of the family court under this section shall terminate
when the supreme court makes an order of custody or of visitation
concerning the children, unless the supreme court continues the order of
the family court.
