Street, Queens, New York. Petitioner never signed a lease for
his occupancy at this apartment. Petitioner also did not
introduce any evidence such as utility bills for the above
residence. Petitioner further explained that during 2002 Ms.
Hernandez lived at 233 South Fourth Street, Brooklyn, New York.
Petitioner testified that Ms. Hernandez would periodically visit
him and Gabriella at his residence on Bleeker Street.
However, respondent called a paralegal specialist in the
Office of Chief Counsel to testify. This witness testified that
on a prior occasion petitioner stated that he lived with Ms.
Hernandez, Gabriella, and Ms. Hernandez’s other child.
Petitioner testified that he and Gabriella moved to 155
South Fourth Street, Apartment 15, Brooklyn, New York, later in
the year of 2002 or early 2003, but that he did not notify
Gabriella’s school of this move because he wanted to keep her in
the school to which she had grown accustomed.
Petitioner testified that, during 2002, he drove Gabriella
to school at about 8 a.m. in the morning, then worked as an
independent taxi driver throughout the day. Gabriella attended
an after-school program until 5:35 p.m., when she was then picked
up by petitioner. Petitioner then drove Gabriella to her
maternal grandmother’s house, where Gabriella stayed while
petitioner went back to work. At her grandmother’s house,
Gabriella had dinner and was taken care of by her grandmother.
