Opinion
December 6, 1993
Appeal from the Family Court, Westchester County (Tolbert, J.).
Ordered that the order, as amended, is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
In any custody determination, the paramount consideration must be the best interests of the children (see, Eschbach v Eschbach, 56 N.Y.2d 167; Friederwitzer v Friederwitzer, 55 N.Y.2d 89). After reviewing the evidence adduced by both parties, we find that the court properly determined that the best interests of the parties' children would be served if custody were awarded to the father. We conclude that the court's determination was proper under the totality of circumstances presented in this case. Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, O'Brien and Ritter, JJ., concur.
