DECISION & ORDER
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the father appeals from an order of the Family Court, Westchester County (Nilda Morales Horowitz, J.), entered November 14, 2019. The order denied the father's objections to an order of the same court (Rosa Cabanillas–Thompson, S.M.) dated July 5, 2019, which, after a hearing, inter alia, directed the father to pay child support in the sum of $4,841 per month.
ORDERED that the appeal from the order entered November 14, 2019, is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
An appellant is obligated to assemble a proper record on appeal, which must include any relevant transcripts of proceedings before the hearing court or trial court (see CPLR 5525 ; Matter of Leacock v. Muhammad, 165 A.D.3d 942, 942, 83 N.Y.S.3d 907 ; Matter of Butti v. Butti, 92 A.D.3d 781, 782, 938 N.Y.S.2d 458 ; Matter of Howard v. Springer, 41 A.D.3d 848, 848, 837 N.Y.S.2d 574 ). Here, the appellant's failure to provide this Court with the transcripts of the Family Court hearing renders the record on appeal inadequate to enable this Court to reach an informed determination on the merits. Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed (see Matter of Leacock v. Muhammad, 165 A.D.3d at 942, 83 N.Y.S.3d 907 ; Matter of Butti v. Butti, 92 A.D.3d at 782, 938 N.Y.S.2d 458 ; Matter of Howard v. Springer, 41 A.D.3d at 848, 837 N.Y.S.2d 574 ).
