Opinion
May 27, 1997
Appeal from the Family Court, Orange County (Ludmerer, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs and disbursements.
Contrary to the father's contentions, the evidence adduced at the hearing provided sufficient factual basis for the upward modification of his child support obligation (see, Matter of Brescia v. Fitts, 56 N.Y.2d 132; Matter of Harris v. Harris, 229 A.D.2d 439; Matter of Lafosse v. Ivsin, 214 A.D.2d 569).
Moreover, the award of attorney's fees was within the discretion of the court in light of the difference between the parties' respective financial circumstances (see, Maimon v Maimon, 178 A.D.2d 635; Domestic Relations Law § 237[a]).
