MORRIS COUNTY FAMILY MEDIATION

Dismissal of the father's complaint against the insurance company for coverage under his homeowner's policy affirmed. The father sought a defense against and indemnity for allegations that the son, an adult with intellectual deficits, had molested the plaintiff while she was an infant and that the father had failed to supervise the son properly. The intentional act exclusion in the policy "unequivocally" removed coverage; the Appellate Division rejected the father's arguments that the exclusion was ambiguous and that the son's intellectual deficits created a material dispute as to whether the molestation was "intentional" under the policy.     Villa v. Short, New Jersey App. Div., December 27, 2006
