Citation217 A.D.2d 940,631 N.Y.S.2d 260
PartiesMatter of Darlene SLOCUM, Respondent, v. Roy Mark ROBERTSON, Appellant.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Roy Mark Robertson, Brockport, pro se.

Beth Farwell, Wellsville, for respondent.

MEMORANDUM:

Family Court properly denied respondent's objections to the Hearing Examiner's order. Respondent failed to demonstrate an unforeseen substantial change in circumstances warranting a downward modification of child support (see, Stock v. Stock, 202 A.D.2d 914, 915, 609 N.Y.S.2d 431). Further, respondent's child support obligation was properly determined on a per-household rather than a per-child basis (see, Buck v. Buck, 195 A.D.2d 818, 600 N.Y.S.2d 520; Matter of Niagara County Dept. of Social Servs. [Maxwell] v. Cunningham, 188 A.D.2d 1039, 592 N.Y.S.2d 1005; Matter of Griffin v. Janik, 185 A.D.2d 635, 586 N.Y.S.2d 49).

Order unanimously affirmed with costs. (Appeal from Order of Allegany County Family Court, Sprague, J.--Child Support.)

GREEN, J.P., and LAWTON, CALLAHAN, BALIO and BOEHM, JJ., concur.
