Matter of Ferrante v. Ferrante

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 19, 1999
260 A.D.2d 576 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

April 19, 1999

Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Pearce, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

In order to establish entitlement to a downward modification of child support, the movant must demonstrate an "unanticipated and unreasonable change in circumstances" ( Matter of Beck v. Beck, 228 A.D.2d 672, 673) which is substantial ( Matter of Boden v. Boden, 42 N.Y.2d 210). The father failed to meet his burden in this case ( see, Matter of Wolfson v. Wolfson, 248 A.D.2d 479).

O'Brien, J. P., Ritter, Joy and Altman, JJ., concur.
