The father failed to make the required evidentiary showing of changed circumstances warranting modification of custody ( Matter of Patricia C. v. Bruce L., 46 A.D.3d 399, 848 N.Y.S.2d 102 [1st Dept. 2007] ). His arguments regarding interference with visitation do not alone support a conclusion that the grandmother is unable to meet the children's mental, emotional or physical needs, and the father has not shown that he has addressed the issues that caused him to lose custody of his children.
We have considered the father's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
