In the Matter of ERIKA PALMER, Respondent, v. RICHARD PALMER, Appellant.

Ordered that the order dated June 2, 2009, is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The mother met her initial burden of presenting prima facie evidence of the father's nonpayment of his child support obligation, which required him to pay his pro rata share of unreimbursed medical and dental expenses ( see Matter of Powers v Powers, 86 NY2d 63, 69; Matter of Lerner v Relkin, 27 AD3d 745, 746; see also Matter of Paccione v Paccione, 57 AD3d 900, 902-903). The mother met her burden through the submission of medical bills and her sworn testimony at the hearing. The father proffered no proof of having reimbursed the mother for any of the medical or dental expenses for which she sought reimbursement. The Family Court properly rejected the father's contention that the mother was required to offset the reimbursement of medical and dental expenses from the monthly child support payments he made over the prior years.

The father's remaining contentions are without merit.
