Tapp v. Tapp

Full title: In the Matter of ROBERT F. TAPP, Appellant, v. KATHY J. TAPP, Respondent

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Mar 28, 1994

202 A.D.2d 679 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

612 N.Y.S.2d 873

Opinion

March 28, 1994

Appeal from the Family Court, Suffolk County (McNulty, J., Silverman, H.E.).

Ordered that the order entered March 24, 1992, is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

We find that a de novo determination of the father's child support obligations pursuant to the Child Support Standards Act (see, Domestic Relations Law § 240; Family Ct Act § 413), was warranted since there were persuasive allegations that the children's needs were not being met (see, Matter of Fetherston v Fetherston, 172 A.D.2d 831).

We have examined the appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Santucci, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
