Opinion
February 22, 1999
Appeal from the order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Blydenburgh, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
We reject the defendant's contention that the Supreme Court failed to articulate the basis for its decision to apply the child support percentage of the Child Support Standards Act, here 29% ( see, Domestic Relations Law § 240) to the combined parental income over $80,000 ( see generally, Matter of Cassano v. Cassano, 85 N.Y.2d 649).
In addition, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion under Domestic Relations Law § 240 Dom. Rel. (1-b)(c)(7) in directing the defendant to pay one-half of the children's college expenses ( see, Cohen v. Cohen, 203 A.D.2d 411).
Miller, J. P., Sullivan, Friedmann and Luciano, JJ., concur.
