ELIZABETH BURGALETA, Respondent-Appellant, v. EUGENE BURGALETA, Appellant-Respondent.

Ordered that the cross appeal is dismissed as abandoned ( see 22 NYCRR 670.8 [e] [1]), without costs or disbursements; and it is further,

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The defendant failed to establish that the Family Court Support Magistrate assigned to this matter exhibited bias against him or a disregard for the law, so as to warrant a transfer of the matter to the Supreme Court ( see generally Schwartzberg v Kingsbridge Hgts. Care Ctr, Inc., 28 AD3d 465; Spector v Spector, 18 AD3d 380; Anonymous v Anonymous, 287 AD2d 306; Matter of Storch v Storch, 282 AD2d 845; Matter of Murdock v Murdock, 183 AD2d 769).

Given the Supreme Court's vacatur of the parties' original child support stipulations for failure to comply with Domestic Relations Law § 240 (1-b) (h) ( see Matter of Victorio v McBratney, 32 AD3d 962; Warnecke v Warnecke, 12 AD3d 502), and its transfer of the matter to the Family Court Support Magistrate for a new determination as to child support, the Support Magistrate should consider all relevant circumstances in fixing the new award of child support ( see Matter of Williams v Chapman, 22 AD3d 1015; Matter of O'Connor v Curcio, 281 AD2d 100).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
