In the Matter of MARETTA SPILLMAN, Respondent, v KENNETH SPILLMAN, Appellant.

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York

2007

833 N.Y.S.2d 907

In a family offense proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8, the husband appeals from an order of protection of the Family Court, Suffolk County (Simeone, J.), dated July 26, 2006, which, after a hearing, and upon finding that he violated an order of protection of the same court dated November 30, 2005, directed him, inter alia, to stay away from his wife, and to observe certain conditions for a period of three years.

Ordered that the order of protection dated July 26, 2006 is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Where the Family Court is primarily confronted with issues of credibility, its factual determinations are afforded great weight on appeal (see

;
;
;
).

The record supports the Family Court’s determination that the husband violated the terms of a previously-issued order of protection by committing harassing acts against his wife (see Family Ct Act § 846-a;

; cf.
).

The husband’s remaining contentions are without merit.

Miller, J.P., Angiolillo, Carni and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
