Opinion
August 16, 1999.
Appeal from the Family Court, Nassau County (Balkin, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, the father's objections are sustained to the extent that the matter is remitted to the Family Court, Nassau County, for a new hearing at which the father will be allowed to examine the mother regarding the actual expenses of the child, and for a new determination.
The Hearing Examiner erred in refusing to allow the father to examine the mother with respect to the actual expenses of the child ( see, Matter of Vacca v. Vacca, 81 A.D.2d 673; Matter of Hillman v. Hillman, 81 A.D.2d 1013; Matter of Gajewski v. Williams, 56 A.D.2d 627). Accordingly, the matter is remitted to the Family Court, Nassau County, for a new hearing and thereafter for a new determination on the father's petition.
