In the Matter of MAURICE JENNINGS, Appellant, v. SEANDRA MIKAELA SMALL, Respondent.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court properly denied the father's petition because he failed to provide evidence of a sufficient change of circumstances since the entry of the order dated July 8, 2003 awarding custody of the subject child to the mother ( see Matter of Hernandez v Rodriguez, 42 AD3d 498, 499; Matter of Demmo v Demmo, 294 AD2d 362; Matter of Melissa FF., 285 AD2d 682).

There is no merit to the father's contention that the Family Court erred in not ordering a forensic evaluation prior to reaching its determination. The father did not request a forensic evaluation, and the record does not indicate that such an evaluation was necessary to enable the Family Court to reach its determination ( see Matter of Hernandez v Rodriguez, 42 AD3d 498; Matter of Diaz v Santiago, 8 AD3d 562).
