Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Under the circumstances, the Family Court properly denied the father's petition because he failed to show sufficient evidence of a change of circumstances since the entry of the order dated August 12, 1999, when the Family Court determined that visitation was not in the child's best interest ( see Matter of Demmo v Demmo), 294 AD2d 362; Matter of Melissa FF.), 285 AD2d 682; Matter of King v King), 266 AD2d 546).
The father's contention that the Family Court erred in not ordering a forensic evaluation of the child prior to reaching its determination is without merit. The father did not request a forensic evaluation, and the record does not indicate that such an evaluation was necessary to enable the court to reach its determination ( see Matter of Diaz v Santiago), 8 AD3d 562; Matter of Nunnery v Nunnery), 275 AD2d 986).
The father's remaining contentions are without merit.
