Fittante v. Borowicz

—Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Contrary to respondent’s contention, the determination granting the petition to modify the existing custody arrangement and awarding custody of the parties’ three children to petitioner has a sound and substantial basis in the record (cf., White v White, 209 AD2d 949 , lv dismissed 85 NY2d 924 ; Fox v Fox, 177 AD2d 209 , 211-212). Petitioner established that the change in custody is in the children’s best interests (see, Eschbach v Eschbach, 56 NY2d 167 , 171-174; Perez v Perez, 239 AD2d 868 ; Matter of Ammann v Ammann, 209 AD2d 1032 ). (Appeal from Order of Niagara County Family Court, Figliola, J.H.O. — Custody.) Present— Denman, P. J., Green, Pine, Hayes and Hurlbutt, JJ.
