The mother contends that the Family Court erred in modifying her visitation without a hearing. In general, an evidentiary hearing is necessary regarding a modification of visitation ( see Matter of Horn v Zullo, 6 AD3d 536; Matter of Vangas v Ladas, 259 AD2d 755). "However, a hearing will not be necessary where the court possesses adequate relevant information to enable it to make an informed and provident determination as to the child's best interest" ( Matter of Horn v Zullo, 6 AD3d at 536; see Matter of Smith v Molody-Smith, 307 AD2d 364).
Here, the Family Court was fully familiar with the relevant background facts regarding the parties and the child from several past proceedings. In addition, the court conducted an in camera interview with the child. Moreover, it was the position of the attorney for the child, who had been involved in the case for several years, that visitation be either suspended or supervised pending the completion of the psychiatric evaluation. Under the circumstances, the Family Court possessed sufficient information to render, without a hearing, an informed visitation determination consistent with the best interests of the child ( see Matter of Horn v Zullo, 6 AD3d 536; Matter of Vangas v Ladas, 259 AD2d 755).
The mother's remaining contentions are without merit.
