Opinion
July 14, 1995
Appeal from the Oneida County Family Court, Flemma, J.
Present — Denman, P.J., Pine, Fallon, Callahan and Balio, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: The determination to award petitioner custody of her two children has a substantial basis in the record ( see, Matter of Gloria S. v Richard B., 80 A.D.2d 72, 76). Because Family Court is "in the most advantageous position to evaluate the testimony, character, and sincerity of the parties" ( DeJesus v. DeJesus, 208 A.D.2d 587, 588; see, Eschbach v. Eschbach, 56 N.Y.2d 167), its findings are entitled to the greatest respect ( see, Matter of Irene O., 38 N.Y.2d 776, 777).
