The doctor accused of arranging a hit on her estranged husband will be allowed jail visits with the 5-year-old daughter who was at the center of the couple's bitter custody battle.
Queens Family Court Judge Linda Tally ruled yesterday that little Michelle Malakov, who's been allowed weekly 15-minute phone calls to her mom, Dr. Mazultov Borukhova, can now visit her while she awaits trial.
Borukhova is charged with murder for allegedly hiring a relative to shoot Forest Hills orthodontist Daniel Malakov last October.
The child has been living with her paternal uncle..
Borukhova's lawyer, Florence Fass, argued Michelle should be evaluated by a psychologist because she appears depressed. The girl's court-appointed guardian countered that the child is "very happy, very settled and very loved."
