Opinion

MEMORANDUM:

Petitioner mother appeals from an order denying her petition, following a hearing, seeking to modify a prior custody order that, inter alia, granted primary physical custody of the subject child to respondent father. “A party seeking a change in an established custody arrangement must show a change in circumstances [that] reflects a real need for change to ensure the best interest[s] of the child” (Matter of Gross v. Gross, 119 A.D.3d 1453, 1453, 988 N.Y.S.2d 836 [internal quotation marks omitted] ). Contrary to the mother's contention, we conclude that Family Court's determination that she failed to meet that burden has a sound and substantial basis in the record (see Matter of Rauch v. Keller, 77 A.D.3d 1409, 1410, 907 N.Y.S.2d 900 ).

It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
