168 A.D.2d 541 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 17, 1990

Appeal from the Family Court, Orange County (Slobod, J.).


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

The Family Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in determining that given the change in the parties' circumstances since the execution of the separation agreement, that is, the increased needs of the growing children, the increased cost of living and the father's substantially improved financial condition, the best interests of the children warranted an upward modification of the father's child support obligations (see, Matter of Brescia v. Fitts, 56 N.Y.2d 132, 140-141; Matter of Masten v. Masten, 150 A.D.2d 693; Matter of Bruhn v. McCready, 138 A.D.2d 374, 376). Thompson, J.P., Brown, Kunzeman and Miller, JJ., concur.
