Opinion

128 A.D.3d 705

Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Suffolk County (Bernard Cheng, J.), dated July 15, 2014. The order denied the father's objections to an order of that court (Aletha Fields, S.M.), dated April 30, 2014, which, after a hearing, dismissed his petition for a downward modification of his child support obligation, with prejudice.

ORDERED that the order dated July 15, 2014, is modified, on the law, by deleting the provision thereof, in effect, denying the father's objection to the words “with prejudice” in the order dated April 30, 2014, and substituting therefor a provision granting that objection and thereupon substituting the words “without prejudice” for the words “with prejudice” in the order dated April 30, 2014; as so modified, the order dated July 15, 2014, is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
