In a child support proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the father appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Family Court, Suffolk County (Dounias, J.), entered September 25, 2002, as denied his objections to an order of the same court (Buse, H.E.), entered July 19, 2002, which granted the mother's motion to dismiss his petition for a downward modification of his child support obligation.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, LEO F. McGINITY, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Family Court correctly determined that the father failed to allege a "substantial" and "unanticipated and unreasonable change in circumstances" ( Matter of Boden v. Boden, 42 N.Y.2d 210, 213; Praeger v. Praeger, 162 A.D.2d 671, 673) in his petition for a downward modification of his child support obligation ( see Beard v. Beard, 300 A.D.2d 268; Matter of Horan v. Horan, 279 A.D.2d 577; Epel v. Epel, 139 A.D.2d 488).
RITTER, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, McGINITY and CRANE, JJ., concur.
