In the Matter of Elsie J. Smith, Appellant, v Lum Smith, Respondent.
(Appeal No. 4.)
[595 NYS2d 356]

—Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: The Hearing Examiner properly denied petitioner’s application for upward modification of the child support provisions of a divorce decree. Petitioner failed to demonstrate a change in circumstances warranting the increase in the best interests of the child (see, Matter of Michaels v Michaels, 56 NY2d 924 , 926). Particularly, petitioner failed to show the expenses necessary to maintain the child since the date of the divorce decree. (Appeal from Order of Erie County Family Court, LoRusso, J. — Child Support and Maintenance.) Present — Pine, J. P., Fallon, Boomer, Davis and Boehm, JJ.
