640 N.Y.S.2d 768 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1996
In a child custody proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the mother appeals from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Martinez-Perez, J.), dated December 6, 1993, which, after a hearing, awarded custody of the parties’ children to the father.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Custody matters are within the sound discretion of the Fam
We find no basis to disturb the Family Court’s custody determination in this case. The record supports the Family Court’s finding that it is in the best interests of the children for their father to have custody of them (see, Eschbach v Eschbach, supra, at 171; Matter of Takeo Kaji v Li Hwa Chen, supra; Matter of Gago v Acevedo, 214 AD2d 565, 566; see also, Matter of Salvati v Salvati, supra). Balletta, J. P., Sullivan, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
