Matter of Gruttadauria v. Catapano

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 31, 1998
256 A.D.2d 617 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

December 31, 1998

Appeal from the Family Court, Suffolk County (Lynaugh, H.E.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed and cross-appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

In its order entered December 9, 1996, the Family Court properly found that the father's gross income was $240,000 per year ( see, Family Ct Act § 413 [b] [5] [i], [iv], [v], [vi]; Matter of Lekutanaj v. Lekutanaj, 234 A.D.2d 429; Matter of Maddox v. Doty, 186 A.D.2d 135; Matter of Alamo v. Alamo, 168 A.D.2d 493). Based on this determination the Hearing Examiner issued the order on appeal. The Hearing Examiner's report upon remittitur reflects a careful consideration of her reasons for applying the child support percentage of 17% to the total combined parental income above $80,000, and we perceive no basis for disturbing the determination ( see, Matter of Cassano v. Cassano, 85 N.Y.2d 649; Matter of Lo Macchio v. Lo Macchio, 247 A.D.2d 539.

Mangano, P. J., Copertino, Thompson and McGinity, JJ., concur.
