IN RE: Susan BALTRUS (2004)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.

IN RE: Susan BALTRUS, respondent, v. Matt BALTRUS, appellant.

Decided: December 06, 2004

DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, and STEVEN W. FISHER, JJ.

Russell I. Marnell, P.C., East Meadow, N.Y. (Scott R. Schwartz of counsel), for appellant. Cristal Lipsky Bresky & Lowe, Mineola, N.Y. (Hunt F. Bresky of counsel), for respondent.

In a child support proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the father appeals from an order of the Family Court, Nassau County (Lawrence, J.), dated February 6, 2004, which denied his objections to so much of an order of the same court (Kahlon, H.E.), dated August 4, 2003, as awarded the mother child support in the sum of $3,443 per month, and support arrears in the sum of $34,734.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the father's contention, the Family Court's award of child support, calculated pursuant to the Child Support Standards Act as provided in a stipulation between the parties, was just and appropriate (see Domestic Relations Law § 240[1-b]; Luisi v. Luisi, 6 A.D.3d 398, 775 N.Y.S.2d 331; Chalif v. Chalif, 298 A.D.2d 348, 751 N.Y.S.2d 197).

The father's remaining contentions are without merit.
