In a custody proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the mother appeals from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Segal, J.), dated October 23, 1997, which, after a hearing, awarded custody of the parties' child to the father and granted her visitation.
Moira E. Casey, Douglaston, N.Y., for appellant.
Before: MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, NANCY E. SMITH, THOMAS A. ADAMS, JJ.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs and disbursements.
Contrary to the mother's contention, the Family Court considered the totality of the circumstances in determining that the best interests of the parties' child would be served by transferring custody to the father (see, Matter of Maurasse v. Price, 277 A.D.2d 240; Matter of Castellano v. England, 275 A.D.2d 412). The Family Court's determination has a sound and substantial basis in the record, and it will not be disturbed on appeal (see, Matter of Louise E. S. v. W. Stephen S., 64 N.Y.2d 946; Matter of Ebert v. Ebert, 38 N.Y.2d 700; Matter of McCoy v. McCoy, 277 A.D.2d 384; Lynch v. Acey, A.D.2d [2d Dept., Mar. 12, 2001]).
ALTMAN, J.P., FRIEDMANN, SMITH and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
