Majority
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura E. Drager, J.), entered May 13, 2014, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, awarding primary residential custody of the parties’ children to defendant wife, with liberal visitation to plaintiff husband, awarding defendant child support, and directing plaintiff to pay a portion of the rent arrears on the former marital apartment, unanimously affirmed, without costs. Appeal from order, same court and Justice, entered on or about September 19, 2013, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as subsumed in the appeal from the judgment.
The record belies plaintiff’s claim that he was not given suf
The court properly granted primary residential custody of the children with final decision-making authority to defendant and liberal visitation to plaintiff pursuant to a parenting time schedule (see Eschbach v Eschbach, 56 NY2d 167 , 173-174 [1982]).
The court properly awarded child support to defendant based upon evidence of the parties’ respective incomes (see e.g. Matter of Cassano v Cassano, 85 NY2d 649 [1995]).
The court properly determined that plaintiff was responsible for rent arrears accumulated before he moved out of the marital residence.
We have considered plaintiff’s remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
